Where did you find the price? I looked in the website, saw all the beautiful colours but price seems to be hidden...go figure. Thanks to Darrell for a gr8 review as usual.
That's a LOT of shekels to hoard up and spend. Yeesh. Is it worth it for flippin' around pickups on the fly? Seriously? For that sort of cash one could buy a decent guitar with each one of those pickups installed and still have plenty of $$$ left over to set up a nice recording studio in the home.
Interesting idea -- but I don't see how the engineering justifies the price. Which is not mentioned at all, but I saw it was close to $16K? Wow ... Honestly, for that much, I'd rather get 3 or 4 custom guitars configured properly to match the style. Anybody with enough money for this single guitar and who's a professional probably has a roadie to carry their guitars around. And probably loves having many guitars. I sure do!
Yeah, that is exactly what I thought, the idea is good, but it simply make no sense when you look at the price. For sure, if the mecanism is all hand made, in house, only for a few pieces it will cost a fortune to make, and I agree that the guys at Wild customs should be able to benefit from their innovation. But if it is pricier than two or three custom made guitar, It no longer make any sense, especially when you take into account that the sound of pick up is also linked to the way the guitar is built (bolt-on VS set neck, etc.). They should at least try to offer a model maybe with only two set of pickups or even only one set that you can upgrade at some point (but I guess the pricing is not really linked to the price of the different parts anyway...). The Relish guitars model, which have a similar swappable system are closer to 6000 (they even have a simpler model that is less than 2000). Okay the relishs do not have rotary pick-up, you have to change them one by one, but will you really change your pick up during a song ?
Agreed. If I had a 16k guitar budget, I wouldn’t spend it on this. It’s really cool but I’d much rather just have several guitars. Almost just as easy to switch pickups (ya know, just plug in a different guitar) AND they would look much better hanging on the wall.
This company also makes a 70,000 euro guitar, so it's not about the economy of the instrument as much as it is a status symbol. Some people are nuts and will pay for anything.

On one hand the engineering behind this is absolutely incredible. On the other like the difference in swapping pickups on the fly doesn't actually seem like very useful. Like sure you vary the tone a little, but the amp and pedals you plug make a much bigger difference.
Agreed. With modeling effects as they are today, this sort of thing is really geared for those Tone Clones who insist on purity in their playing. Meh. When the drums are thumping and the bass player is loud, can the audience actually HEAR the difference? Yeah maybe a guitarist can but anyone else? And if they're groovin' to the music do they really give a crap?
My first thought was for a Nashville or other area studio musician... And (IMHO) if you can really "play" the instrument, and don't just use distortion to cover all the mistakes, etc... yes you can hear (and feel) the difference... I wouldn't say this guitar would be for metal... seems like for metal you just crank the amp to 11, add in some kind of cheesy BOSS distortion/fuzz/overdrive and break eardrums with a bunch of flashy finger tappy stuff and whammy bar horsie sounds... This guitar would be for all the rest of the world's guitar music... not for metal... plus it's not pointy or neon green... you gotta have that color (or similar) to look cool playing metal... LOL
if you want several different pickups in one guitar, get a set of SD P-rails. Single coil, P-90, and series or parallel humbucker in one humbucker . Maybe not quite as versatile as actual separate pickups, but not $16k either!!
It is fantastic to see luthiers, technicians and engineers getting together and creating such amazing instruments. And well done to Dazz for showcasing them. Brilliant and well done to all. I want one!
Or......save that 16k money and buy a strat, Les Paul, Tele and a Gretsch ....still have nearly 8k left over! And...you’ll have four actually coool looking guitars. .....just saying.
Thanks for reviewing it for us, it’s a beautiful guitar. Like you said most us can’t afford it but really great to have an in depth look at it. Congrats to the gang at Wild.
This guitar help us to realize that there isn't really much difference between pickups. It's ultimately the amp and other electronics that determine your final sound. The funny part is, this guitar shows us exactly why we don't need one.
Darrell, that was one of your best videos! Thank you for sharing that with your fans. I could have listened to you play that guitar all day long. Awesome!

Lawyers and doctors will love this Guitar! It does show a lot of tone is in the guitar and not the pickup. The Strat pickup sounds like a split humbucker in a les Paul more than a Stratocaster. Thank you for this demo.
Enjoying your channel. I am a guitar builder myself. One thing I really like is you do not repeat yourself. Your clips move right along with new information flowing. I'm watching...

wow that concept is fantastic,and sounded great too...just flick it over to a new pickup,,just amazing,how cool would that be,,,,price is amazing too,,,kudos to the design team and the engineers,,what a terrific job they did
Amazing, Darrell! I never thought I would like any distorted sound, but this instrument has a sawtooth wave that is actually caressing. The cleanest I've ever heard, bro! No listening fatigue on this boy. Thanks, brother Braun. With the world falling apart we have little moments of respite. And yours are among the most pleasant.
Just incredible looks and quality, all the way through ! What a neat idea, interchangeable pickups on the fly. The a guitar case was really cool to. Great inspiration vid.
A few years ago, I imagined, a pickup that walks along the body of the guitar, being able to be positioned at any point, by mechanical activation. Who knows, maybe the next invention ... 🤣 🤣 🤣.
Interesting idea, looks like a fine instrument too BUT I didn’t love the tones. Single coil neck didn’t really come close the spongy dynamic tones you might expect. Maybe because of the 500k pots? Cool concept but the tones weren’t there for me.
Not powered. It's all passive and only connects as you rotate. You can see the pins on the sides of the pick-up assemblies. I'd be more worried about wear and tear and spare parts.
It would have to disconnect the unused pickups. To have two extra pickups in the circuit would significantly change the tone of the selected pickup. I'm interested in how they do this without pops or other noise. Given the quality appearance of the rest of the system I expect they found a durable way to do this.
Great breakdown Daryl. Things are morphing in the guitar world. Pick up's make the guitar. So many options to choose from. Nice to have options without solder : )

About time!!
Very cool concept. I love the design that is similar to Godin and the quality woods. A bit pricey, but the innovation fits in with the new dynamic we have with guitar tone. Great video, Darrell!
There should be an “I feel lucky” button that just selects pickups at random like a slot machine.
Ha, like a slot machine, put in a coin and pull the lever!
Fun freq after buying it you won’t have any coins left to insert in it. lol
ADD A MIDDLE PICKUP, AND PAINT ON EACH P90 SECTIONS HUGE SEVENS!!! (and you'll have a jackpot.)

Interesting idea, looks like a fine instrument too BUT I didn’t love the tones. Single coil neck didn’t really come close the spongy dynamic tones you might expect. Maybe because of the 500k pots? Cool concept but the tones weren’t there for me.
Maybe it's due to the amp? It wasn't the most clean and uncompressed tone if you ask me
I really like the vintage strat pick-ups.
Are the back 2 pickups still powered and does that affect the one pickup being used ie feedback?
Aaron W. Markel I was wondering the same thing.
Not powered. It's all passive and only connects as you rotate. You can see the pins on the sides of the pick-up assemblies. I'd be more worried about wear and tear and spare parts.

I think I may have written letters to pickup manufacturers on the subject, as well. Same oblique responses... Anyway... regarding this and the other instrument with interchangeable pickups.... About time!!
If you remove all the pickups, could you use it as an acoustic guitar? 🤣
Very cool concept. I love the design that is similar to Godin and the quality woods. A bit pricey, but the innovation fits in with the new dynamic we have with guitar tone. Great video, Darrell!
Whelp now I know the first thing I’d buy if I won the lottery
I'd get a '64 Strat. The holy Grail of Strats, a 59 es335, a 52 telecaster, and a 58 Les Paul. We are talking the "lottery" not a scratch and win!!
I’d buy picks
Wow this is the way to play beyond Authentic!! Truly one guitar to rule them all this may shut down many manufacturers.
I can build my own for less, including all the tools needed 😂😂
please do it and call me back
Great video, thank you for your time and work.
Cool and interesting idea. It just looks cheap and horrible imo. For that price they should have spent a bit more time on the aesthetics.
That maple cap is a creamy dream!!!
$16000?...no thanks, I could buy like 40 nice squires instead!
The price blew my mind !! And i'm french ! I prefer my luthier to build me my guitars for 3500 dollars each. And he does it very well.
