This 2023 Wilborn Sidewinder knocked everyone in the shop off their feet. With gorgeously figured Mahogany and Adirondack Spruce, it has all the ingredients for a powerhouse of a guitar. The 25″ to 25 3/8″ multiscale makes it perfectly comfortable for any tuning situation, and it’s so subtle you have to look down to even notice it. The offset soundhole, bound in ebony, not only adds to the sleek elegance of the instrument but also enhances the power of the bass register. That’s not to say it’s overpowering—this guitar is perfectly balanced. In fact, it was so impressive that it sold before we had a chance to list it. Wrapped up in a Calton case, this guitar is truly a special piece.

Ben Wilborn’s guitars have always held a special place in my heart, and this one is no different. When Adirondack and Mahogany are paired in the right hands, the result is pure magic. This guitar plays effortlessly, with a voice that’s as captivating as it is refined. It’s truly a joy in every sense. 
What can I say about this guitar? It's a stroke of genius. Glass smooth, quick as a snake, more energy than a gallon of yerba mate. This one kept me up at night, I was seriously chewing on how to make it mine. Alas, a gent bought it out from under me at a shop visit before I committed, or we even listed it. I'm already looking forward to the next one. | Scale Length | 25 in - 25.4 in |
