Wild Card models - What do the numbers mean and how many are there?

[ginsambo]

Looking at buying a USA Wild Card #2 as I really like the single humbucker style. What other options are there? and What do the numbers mean?

I see we are now on #6 and it has a single soil at the neck also - don't want.

So what happened to numbers 3, 4 and 5? :think:

When I do a google image search for Wild Card 3, 4 or 5 I get a page full of American footballers or gay men with their tops off?

Theres the HSS with the fancy tops and recessed trems, Im not sure as to the number. The bodies are on ebay all the time., molten crust finish hss #5. Dead calm aqua hss #4. dreamsicle #6. Style 1 trans candy magenta #1. Flat black one hum #3. So the red one hum is number 2.

The numbering is like a porno. They come up with a title, then put a random number on it, and continue onwards AND backwards!

Here, this link should explain it all.

Brill. Think I need a Number 2 then.

Like the No. 1 until I realised it was trans candy and not solid. No, faded old fiesta red has got some understated, old school charm to it. Does look very similar in colour to the old Ford Fiestas of the '80's. Wonder if its the same paint and that's why they called it Fiesta red.

Thanks for clearing that up. I understand now.

Fiesta Red is apparently taken from the colour used on a '56 Thunderbird, not an 80s hatchback

Fender used it through the 60s.
