Nice semi hollowbody
Great guitar at a budget price. Best to replace the bridge with rollers, or the Bigsby can send the guitar out of tune. Be sure to buy the hardshell case. I understand they can be hard to source as an aftermarket purchase.

Needs Work
Has tuning issues due to steep string angle between bridge and Bigsby. Stock P90's are dull & muffled sounding.

This is one of the videos in which you can see Ray Toro playing his "Black Royale" Epiphone Wildkat
Brad shows this guitar on the Offerings Experience DVD and says it's a pretty new guitar (that was back in 2002) and that he's had it for about two months. Especially the guitar's beauty is mentioned by Brad on the DVD, he says it's a beauty and that it's absolutely gorgeous. The neck pick-up is a mini humbucker and the bridge pick-up is a Gibson Classic 57.
This photo was taken during North Point's Community Makeover, but Brad also played this guitar when he was still with Third Day.
