Manufacturer of

For the music industry.

Benefits of Product

• Fretting is done by hand, one fret at a time. Every slot is machined to a specific width and depth on the CNC machine to match the tang on any of the nine wire profiles that Wildwood stocks. They produce a level, consistent set of frets that need only the final dressing. Finish sanding is meticulously thorough until both the board and the carve feel great.
• Some of the finest electric guitars and basses on the market today start with the foundation of Wildwood Manufacturing‘s bodies and necks.

Manufacturing Process:

The process begins the specific requirements.   The CAD software is utilized to interpret size and shape, weight reduction pattern, arm and waist bevels, pickup and neck pockets, etc. into a set of commands that the three axis CNC machine can follow. The CNC machine carves two bodies each cycle, two fronts and two backs, with accuracy to a couple thousandths of an inch. Pickup pockets, rear control cavities, neck pockets, and weight reduction channels are accurately reproduced on all guitar and bass bodies.

Wildwood is able to create a body or neck that is unique to the customer specifications.
