why no primer scream wildcard love?
Have opportunity to pick up a new wildcard 7 for under $740 shipped. Wonder if any of you own one? i dig the HS layout and the ebony fretboard . the color scheme looks ok to me (not a showstopper)..
are these selling poorly? if so maybe ill hold on until they get clearanced at sam ash.
how do they sound compared to a wildcard dead calm aqua or the usa san dimas?Last edited by maltomario; 01-15-2012 at 09:44 PM.

Aqua's were blown out of Sam Ass last August for $495 with case. So OP, ask yourself: is $740 really a good deal?

i snagged one of those $495 blowouts.. it is unlikely to happen again in the future . i was at right place at right time so that price is not an absolute "given" that i can count on. Originally Posted by DonP

Love the layout and the ebony board. I also didn't mind the primer color but the yellow dots and logo turned me off.

So you don't remember the Black Friday sale a year earlier where they blew out RR24M's for the same $495 price? Originally Posted by maltomario

Squid is great to work with. They even emailed me some gorgeous high resolution progress pics of the promod they were working on for me. Very cool guys and the setup was outstanding.

Well, there you go. Just watched Jay Leno and Everecense(sp?). Guitarist was playing a Primer Scream with a decal between the pickups.

And I'm watching them (again) on Conan right now. Conan had better close-ups, so if someone can link that video...
Evanesence?
