I wanted to write this a year after inquiring my Fender Customshop 52’ Nocaster Heavy Relic. Janice and her son are wonderful people. I used to work for Fender Customshop in Corona. My favorite relic I did during my tenure in customshop made its way to her store. I remember the date I relic’d the guitar body 3/11/22 a day after my birthday. I have pictures and videos I took of it at the factory after it was finished cause I loved the relic so much. I seen it on reverb months later, and it was like fate that I lived close to where the nocaster ended up. She made my dream of owning it a reality. Bless your hearts. Go to wildcat guitars. Great family run businesses always give their clientele lasting impressions, and I can honestly say that about her and her son. Go in and see for yourself. I will forever be gracious. The pictures I uploaded is a picture of it at my work bench at the Fender Factory still can’t believe I own it!

The next time you find yourself in San Diego, you gotta check out WildCat Guitars in Escondido! Without question, this is the coolest guitar shop in all of Southern California! WildCat Guitars feels more like a blend between an Art gallery and a high end guitar shop. They have a huge selection of some of the most beautiful one of a kind guitars that you’ll ever lay eyes on! They specialize in custom shop guitars that are built by hand in the U.S. They easily have the largest selection of Fender Custom Shop Guitars that I’ve ever seen under one roof, and they’re all about the “Heavy Relic” guitars that I’m a huge fan of as well. You’ll also find some of the most amazing Gibson Custom Shop Les Paul Bursts in the shop, as well as a bunch of one of a kind PRS Guitars that have some of the most beautiful flame maple tops that you’ll ever see! For those of you who are down with all of the newer Boutique guitar builders out there, WildCat Guitars has you covered. You’ll find some of the sweetest Suhr, Iconic, Luxxtone, and Rock n’ Roll Relics Guitars in the shop as well. And don’t worry, if you’re a newer player, an you’re not quite ready to remortgage the house for a custom shop guitar yet, WildCat Guitars also has a great selection of Fender production model guitars from the US and Mexico, as well as some of the PRS SE models from the Far East. For all of you acoustic guitar aficionados, they also have a fantastic selection of beautiful Taylor, Gibson and PRS Acoustics that will blow your mind! Not only are the Guitars out of this world at WildCat Guitars, but the shop itself is a work of art as well! It truly has to be seen to believe! WildCat Guitars is run by a couple of really cool dudes that have been in the guitar game for a long time. They know exactly what guitars to spec out and stock, and how to offer you a one of a kind guitar buying experience. Ask for Doug, he’ll take great care of you, and match you up with the guitar of your dreams. He certainly did that for me! I was able to make an appointment and spend a couple of hours trying out some of the best guitars that I’ve ever played. There was never any pressure, to speed things up or to make a sale. Doug was able to share all of the specs of the guitars with me, and also share some really amazing stories about how the guitars are made along with some additional background about the brands themselves from all of his years of experience in the industry. You can tell how important the customer experience is to Doug and WildCat Guitars, and they offer an experience that is head and shoulders above anybody else in the guitar world period! They’ll also try to help you out on the price in anyway that they can, which is unheard of these days. If you don’t happen to live in America’s Finest City, or the So Cal area, don’t worry, they have the best website in the industry, which includes excellent photography and really great and fun videos of the guitars they carry, which will help you find the perfect guitar. Stop wasting your time with all of the oversized, overpriced, generic, corporate guitar shops out there, and check out WildCat Guitars. You’ll be really glad you did!

Purchased a Taylor 618e with limited Sunburst top. I haven’t found a dealer able to get a sunburst top on one of these updated grand orchestra models yet… until I found Wildcat Guitars.Service was fantastic, super fast response to my email/inquiry, guitar shipped same day and arrived roughly 48 hours later with no surprises.Its always scary buying acoustic, especially out of state, since the quality and tone differ so much guitar to guitar. But after the great service, and return policy (i will not be returning this guitar, but it is nice to have return option) I cannot recommend this shop enough! I love this guitar, and while afflicted with GAS (guitar acquisition syndrome) I will certainly be buying more guitars in the future… but at least I have my forever jumbo sized guitar! Thanks Wildcat Guitars!Reach out to Bo, he’ll make sure you’re taken care of!Sean

Wildcat guitars is my new go to spot for anything high end and cool. From the moment I walked in Doug had me covered. I came in and out a few times playin about ten different guitars, all of which Doug pulled out based on what I was looking for. I would highly recommend the team over at Wildcat to put the right guitar in your hands and ready for the stage! Thanks dudes see you soon! Got my dream fender custom shop to go play now!

My purchase of Fender Jazz Bass from WildCat Guitars went flawlessly. I live in New York, but was looking for specific bass. The WildCat Team packaged, communicated and answered all of my questions / concerns. Thank you WildCat! This is what a real guitar store does.

Amazing service, timely and intentional responses to calls and queries—even sending additional info, photos, and videos so that I could be at ease with the entire process. Buying a guitar can be a somewhat daunting process, but Doug made it incredibly easy. Doug was a huge help in ensuring that my guitar was well taken care of and that it shipped and arrived safely. It even arrived much earlier than expected, which was a welcome surprise! The guitar is in pristine condition: plays and feels like a dream, thanks to a great setup by the WildCat team. It is a wonderful feeling to interface with someone who is clearly so passionate about guitars like Doug. Started as just a customer, feel like a new friend. Would definitely recommend WildCat Guitars, Doug, and his team to anyone looking to get a new guitar. Fantastic experience.

Picked up a stunning Les Paul. It was setup perfect too! Doug and the team at Wildcat are spectacular. The shop is an absolute 10 and has some amazing and unique guitars on display in the showroom. I cant believe this gem of a guitar store is so close to my house. I will be buying many more guitars from these guys in the future.

I just made my 1st guitar purchase from WildCat, and it was excellent! I had the pleasure of working with Bo & Doug. Both were incredibly responsive and offered a pro setup free of charge. The guitar arrived safe and sound and came set up perfectly. I would never hesitate to buy a guitar sight unseen from WildCat! Thanks again, guys!

I found a pic of a really lovely guitar online. Turns out that specific guitar was in this shop. Took some time to hunt it down but I’m glad these folks had it. They were incredibly easy to work with. Gave me a good price, shipped very quickly, shipped very safely and I will 1000% be working with them again in the future.If your local stop in. If you found them online do not hesitate to call them. It was like dealing with my own local guitar shop. Highly recommend.
