The raw authenticity and sonic warmth of wood!
Wildwood guitars have been crafted with the utmost care to reproduce the authenticity of the wood's material, and its visual and sonic warmth. The body is carved from paulwonia, a light, resonant and elegantly grained wood. The sturdy, comfortable 5-point screw neck is topped by a 24-fret roasted maple fingerboard, providing comfort and brilliance for your highest-pitched solos. The Eko Steel tremolo features independently adjustable saddles to fine-tune the action and harmonics of each string. Its locking tuners in 4+2 configuration ensures tuning and note stability. The body's natural “roasted” color complements the black hardware. Finally, the satin-finish “open pore” varnish reveals the raw, natural beauty of the grain.
A highly versatile electronic configuration!
In terms of electronics, the Aire 701 Wildwood is equipped with 2 single-coil pickups, as well as a dual-coil pickup, specially selected by EKO. The humbucker in bridge position can be split into a single-coil, thanks to a second tone knob incorporating a push-pull function. The 5-position selector widens the range of tones offered by the instrument, with three positions (low, middle and high) associated with each of the three pickups, offering clean, powerful sounds, and two intermediate positions wired in parallel for deeper, velvety tones. This highly versatile splittable HSS configuration, combined with the 5-position selector, lets you explore all musical styles.
Wild, versatile and full of character with its elegant woods and finish, the Aire 701 Wildwood is the instrument with the raw, lively look that connects the guitarist with the vibrant nature of wood.
