The body is swamp ash with a maple veneer on the top. The neck is Rock Maple with an Indian Rosewood Fretboard, Gold Gotoh tuners and the scale length is 25.5. The neck and action are fast, this guitar plays like a dream. I set this guitar up and it is dialed in. The pickups are Dragonfire on a Fender U.S./Mexican retrofit pickguard with two full size 500k pots, 3-way switch, matched set of two Dragonfire Screamers (Bridge and Neck).The Screamers are the ultimate humbucker for high output and clarity. Wound around ceramic magnets to a staggering 16.9K on the bridge and 8.3K on the neck, they will make your guitar come alive. For everything from Country to Metal, the Screamers can do it. They sound very good with no noise. The body art is hand painted and finished with nitro cellulous lacquer. I am an artist/luthier as well and this is the first guitar I have done with my original artwork. To see my artwork check out my other items, I have a few for sale and some are in galleries in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area. The back of the guitar is a blue/turquois that is faded out from the neck. This is a one of a kind guitar. Comes with a case but its not the greatest if you gig and travel a lot you might have to purchase a more reliable one.A Columbus, Ohio native and a UC CCM graduate, Ike Wilhelm is also an accomplished luthier, musician, song writer, and music teacher. He has been playing the guitar for over 25 years and has a style uniquely his own. Music is part of his soul; from building the instrument, writing the song, teaching others to play, or masterfully playing himself, Ike can "say more without words than whole choirs." - Mike BreenThere is no deeper satisfaction for him than to have someone play beautiful music on one of his handcrafted guitars, built with passion and perfection. Wilhelm guitars are all handmade by luthier Ike Wilhelm. By nature, handmade guitars offer more tone and a better sound than anything you can buy off the shelf. Having a handcrafted guitar customized to your personal preferences means an enhanced musical experience."My goal is to work with the customer to build an affordable, handcrafted guitar that is a custom fit to their playing style and their desires. As a classically trained musician, I understand the importance of an instrument that is capable of responding to the players touch. The instrument must look unique, feel amazing, and enhance your style of playing. The relationship between luthier and player is very special to me and I look forward to working with you to help your dreams come true." - Ike Wilhelm, Luthier
