2013 Wingert Steampunk E: goggles and timepiece not included. Here Kathy Wingert has married gorgeous tonewoods—Cocobolo and Carpathian Spruce—with copper, cogs, pipework, and gears for a steampunk effect guaranteed to stand out from the crowd.
On top of that, Wingert has added a Ryan-style arm bevel, interrupted rosette, Gotoh HAPA tuners, and Fishman pickup. The trebles are juicy and charged, and we love the smooth and effortless playability along the fretboard. The slightly wider neck (1 13/16” at the nut) is a delight for the fingerstylist, and the Venetian Cutaway helps keep those pesky upper frets dust-free. Wrapped up in a Hoffee flight case, this Wingert will travel safe and sound every step of the way as you travel between steampunk conventions and China Miéville readings.
Don’t worry, we made sure to wipe up the oil spills and mustache wax: this steampunk Wingert is ready to roll out of the station today.
