The Maverick is superb! I played on it this morning for a while plugged and it sounded amazing. It’s very articulate and speaks (my term) differently depending on my touch and attack. That’s not always the case with guitars, but it sure is with this one … it is great. I can’t thank you enough for the quality of the guitar and your blood, sweat and tears that no doubt goes into every instrument.

All the Best!

Got the guitar today.

Man just wanted to say how much I appreciate what you guys do. I need lighter guitars, love compound fretboards and soft v necks, and you guys check all the boxes on those fronts and more.

This thing is gorgeous and it plays just like my favorite Seeker (keep away from heat), which has been my main guitar now since purchase. Looking forward to breaking this one in and getting the hang of tele tones.

Again thanks to you and Terry for keeping American craftsmanship intact, and offering SO MUCH guitar for what I’ve paid every time.

The big guys, even with their Goliath reputations and custom shops, can’t compete with you guys at all on what counts. I’ve been a gigging musician for about 20 years now and have had countless guitars and yours are head and shoulders above the crowd. So glad I found out about you guys.

Just a note to let you know I received the guitar safe and sound.  Thanks for the warpspeed shipping!
After playing this guitar for an hour, I have to tell who how freaking amazing this Maverick is!  I can’t put it down!  Tone is otherworldly, action and playability is second to none!  Perfect set-up!  It’s stunning on top of it all!  And thanks for all the case candy!
I own lots of custom made guitars, Veritas, Shelton, etc. and several vintage and Custom Shop Telecasters, and this guitar is my favorite of them all!
Great work!  Thanks for the deal and for one of the finest guitars I’ve ever owned.

Indiana Jones arrived safely yesterday. I opened it up last night and… WOW!!! This might be the best guitar I’ve ever played in my 24 years as a guitar player. I say that having played some pretty rad guitars (like custom shop Strats and vintage Les Paul customs). I can’t believe the wonderful tones coming from this guitar; it sounds huge both unplugged and amplified! I could not put it down last night and played for hours! Excellent job on the setup too; it feels and plays like an old friend 😀

I love the light weight of this instrument! I suffer from chronic neck pain and usually have to quit after about an hour or so of playing (especially standing with a Norlin era Les Paul!). I realized after the 2nd hour that my shoulder/neck wasn’t hurting and I would be able to play much longer than usual. Incredibly inspiring to say the least.

Really impressed with the design of the guitar! The woods (the vintage top is a total jaw dropper!), unique finish, hardware, feel of the neck and the sound/pickups are impeccable. TONS of mojo! Reminds me of my favorite vintage guitars even though it’s new; that’s extremely difficult to achieve in my experience. I really dig the unique neck profile with the V to D shape combined with the compound radius. Really smart to do 9.5″ – 12″! Feels like the best of both worlds between my Fenders and Gibsons. You guys really know your stuff!

Huge thank you, Ken, for your wonderful customer service and attention to detail that went above and beyond. Between the personalized discount code, beautiful flamed maple control plate addition (which looks amazing!), wonderful setup, great packing job and excellent communication I am blown away.

I will definitely be a return customer! Really cool that you guys are here in the pacific NW too. Would love to stop by the shop sometime. BTW, do you ever do custom orders? Would be cool to work with you on something extra special someday.

Now I can really say that I’ve “Chosen Wisely” and discovered the Holy Grail of guitars 😊

WOW WOW WOW, Ken!
What a cool guitar!!
I was loving it acoustically and then I plugged it in. I’m knocked out!!

The setup is impeccable! Workmanship everywhere is artisan quality! And the pickups, beautiful sounding! (Thanks for the RWRP!) Every aspect of the guitar adds up to articulation like I’ve never known. You really have made something special here. THANK YOU!!

The Sea Island Sugar guitar arrived and I am blown away by the quality, playability, and tone!!! You do incredible work and I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Looking forward to getting more playing time but having purchased a few guitars over the years, I already know this one will be played regularly. I will definitely be recommending WWGC to friends and family – if there are places you’d like me to leave a glowing review let me know. My only problem now is which WWGC guitar to buy next and how soon can I afford it 🙂

The independence hum arrived today. Wow, does it look and feel amazing! I look forward to getting to know it, but it seems to be everything I hoped for and more. I’m so impressed by your craftsmanship. It’s more than a just a guitar, for sure. God bless….

12 Bottles arrived safely Monday afternoon. I opened it up last night and… you’ve done it again! Soooooo much character in the look, feel and sound. Arrived perfectly in tune! Stayed up way too late into the night playing; couldn’t put it down for hours. It is completely amazing and I absolutely love everything about it!

Thank you so much for the excellent setup! This is exactly what I had in mind when I said medium action; I can easily play chords and even complex tapping mixed with the best sounding slide lines I’ve ever been able to pull off. I’ve always wanted to take my slide playing to the next level and I can say without a doubt, this guitar will take me there.

Your guitars already sound so alive and big; with the 12’s on there, it has an absolutely MASSIVE sound! Rhythm playing sounds gargantuan, while playing bottle slide yields some of the best slide tones I’ve ever heard. Tapping sounds incredibly rich and detailed; I’ve even been able to go full SRV and bend/vibrato the massive strings! 😊

It’s a really wonderful counterpoint to Indiana, which is so buttery and easy to play with that classic twangy tele tone. 12 Bottles has this big, fat, round tone to it; almost strat-like, but with a little of that tele twang in the higher frequencies. They both sound so classic in their own way! Feels like I have all my bases covered between the range of both instruments.

I must confess I was a bit nervous as none of my other guitars have 12 gauge strings; I took a bit of a gamble on the setup. The main reason being that I have so much respect for Indiana that I didn’t want this guitar to compete and instead do something different. A Yin Yang situation instead of one just being a backup for the other.

I’ve always attempted to adapt my playing to different guitars, while I feel the typical player does the opposite (it HAS to be this one single way or they don’t like it). This has benefitted my playing so much, forces me to play in new ways and try new things. Takes me out of my comfort zone and liberates me from playing the same licks over and over.

I feel that guitars (especially great ones) have a spirit or soul and I try to listen to that if it speaks to me; hence 12 Bottles being a bottle slide guitar with 12 gauge strings. I’m playing things on 12 Bottles that aren’t even possible on my other guitars. I am delighted that I took a chance and gave this guitar its own identity rather than just going for an Indiana clone in terms of setup. They’re both so fun to play in their own way, it’s difficult to decide which one to pick up next. Together, they’re unstoppable!

Thank you for all the hard work you put into this one! Providing the extra parts was very thoughtful. You’re an extremely talented luthier and tech! I feel honored to know you and get the privilege to play these wonderful instruments. I feel more inspired by guitar and music than I have in many years. HUGE thank you to you and Terry for making this happen! You’ve got yourself a customer for life. 😃

All the best,
Dustin
