Chris, it has nothing to do with Gibson vs. Epiphone. The OP wasn't asking
for a comparison on the two, he was asking for opinions on the wildcat -
most likely hoping that someone who has tried them out will share their
thoughts. Your comment, whether you meant it to be or not, was elitist, rude
and misplaced. I have read a few of your comments and I get the sense that
you are an ok guy who just puts his foot in his mouth sometimes. A lot of
your thoughts and opinions are actually really good. You just come across a
bit harsh sometimes.

So, have you tried out the wildcat? Any thoughts?
