Doug Wilkes 'X' Style White Electric Guitar
Here for sale we have a Doug Wilkes Custom ‘X’ Style electric guitar in a white finish. Made in England, Doug hand crafts all of his guitars in his workshop in England and has made guitars for some of music’s biggest names. Due to the custom-made nature of Doug’s guitars, we are unable to provide accurate information on some of the materials used to create this instrument.
The scale length of this guitar is 26.2 inches. The guitar features a gloss finish on the body and the thru-neck making it feel super slick and easy to play. The Rosewood fingerboard feels really comfortable and makes the neck easy to navigate. The body is shaped in a way that makes it comfortable to sit down and play the guitar with a deep cutaway on the treble side of the neck making every fret completely accessible.
The ‘X’ is fitted with one Hot Rail style pickup that sits in the bridge position. This high-output pickup provides some seriously punchy tones with a good sweep from the volume and tone knobs. There is also a switch fitted to the guitar that acts as a sort of kill switch even though there is a small amount of the guitar’s volume that can still be heard when playing very loud. The Floyd Rose licensed bridge feels great to use and is fully functional.

Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you.

We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
