Travel Guitars
This
pint sized guitar is perfect for taking on the road as it measures
at just 65cm. It has a scale length of 43.5cm, but
incorporates a standard width neck for exceptional ease in playing.
With a solid, one piece spruce top and a bolt on Queensland Maple neck with a Jarrah fretboard, this
robust little unit produces a superb sound. A guitar this size is
perfect for children too! It is tuned a 5th above a normal guitar, ie. the same as having a capo on the seventh fret (BEADF#B). They have a beautiful golden/Jarrah
sunburst finish, with the amazing "Wild Design" motif on the face of
the instrument.

Dulcimers
The Appalachian
Mountain dulcimer is one of Wildwood's best selling instruments. It
has four strings and is tuned to a myxalodian mode (D A D - similar to a
scale, but not!) so you can't get it wrong. It has a hollow Jarrah neck, Hoop Pine body and includes the oh so handy 6 1/2 fret. Easy to play and
exceptionally well priced.

35mm, slightly wider than standard, to improve playability. They
also have a very affordable price for a handcrafted
instrument.

Weissenbaby
This instrument is a compact version of a hollow necked Weissenborn Slide Guitar. Measuring just 70cm in length, it is perfect for taking on the road. Without lugging around another full sized guitar, you can still play lap slide at your gigs! It is tuned to open G (GDGGDG) and has a scale length of 490mm. It produces a real gutsy sound with plenty of volume. Solid Spruce top with Jarrah back, sides and headstock. The Wild design motif on the front also incorporates the fret divisions, allowing the entire face of the instrument to act freely as a soundboard (ie. no fretboard to dampen the sound). An optional Schaller pickup is available, along with a soft gig bag and a Stevens tone bar.

Electric Guitars
Nick has made a
few electric guitars, such as "The Electric Sheep", pictured
here.
However he does not make them commercially.
 Electric Mandolins
Pictured here
are two electric mandolins that Nick used to play in the band
Squidfinger. The first one was stolen in 1997, so the second was
created to take its place. Here is a sound clip of the second
mandolin and one of his guitars in action.

| * These hard cases are not specifically designed for these instruments. They are a tight fit, but they do fit. If your travel guitar has an end pin fitted to the base of the guitar (to hold your strap) that may hinder the fit. It may be possible to trim some of the lining but that is up to the customer. |
