I just demoed one today and for $399, it's a real nice guitar.

Have any of you bought or tried one? What's your opinion?

The only complaint I've ever heard about these was regarding the pickup height adjustment. I don't recall the exact complaint, and I've never had dogear P90's, I've only used soapbars and bucker-sized, so I don't know. Looks real perdy though.

I was also considering the Epiphone P93 but after demoing the Wildkat, I am leaning towards the Wildkat. It just felt better built and played more smoothly. I just have to sell my old Ibanez RG-550 first.

if its worth anything, i have the Flamekat. Same guitar but with a stupid paint job. Its the biggest piece of shit ever. very poorly made and doesn't stay in tune.

I too had a Wildkat a few years back. The pickups were not too bad but the neck was skinny and was just overall a P-O-S, even for the $200 I paid. Sold it for $250

If anything, I'd look for a used one.
