Switch Vibracell Wild IV Electric Guitars from the mid-2000s were fabricated using an injection mold process of a resin-based synthetic material, creating the entire guitar body and neck though in one piece. The objective was to increase sustain coming from the single piece and avoid any warping or swelling of wood. This guitar comes with Switch “Red Hot” ceramic humbucker pickups and Grover tuners.
This guitar is in very good condition with minimal finish wear on the back, the sparkly blue top looks clean. There is some fret wear on frets 5-7. There is also a stress line in the finish on the back of the headstock between the two E tuners (see photo). The tuners were removed to verify this was only at the finish level.
“The sustain, listen to it.” – Nigel Tufnel  Â
This guitar comes with a gig bag.
From Manufacturer:
The Switch Vibracell Wild IV Electric Guitar is a straightforward no frills instrument built with all premium hardware and electronics. Dual Humbucking Red Hot (Ceramic) pickups in both neck & bridge position. A string-through fixed bridge combined with the straight string pull three-on-a-side headstock with Grover tuning machines provides superior string tension. One piece 3D Vibracell body and neck with a Rosewood fingerboard.
Vibracell is a patented process of completely molding both electric and bass guitars including the neck and headstock, from the patented Switch Vibracell material creating an instrument with precise harmonic resonance and sound frequency. Vibracell allows the entire instrument to be created as a whole with complete control of neck, body weight and density by controlling the internal cells. With the ability to control the cells we can effectively tune the body and neck to exceed the characteristics and response of those instruments made from the best available woods in the world. Additionally, Vibracell has the pure strength to withstand extreme temperature changes that affect traditional wooden bodies and necks.
The ability to control the cells density allows the neck to be formed with the body as one piece. Vibracell allows a true one piece neck-through design that eliminates the gluing of two half bodies to the neck. The one piece neck-thru body approach allows for energy to be transmitted through the entire body not only with extreme efficiency, but at a higher rate of speed ultimately delivering pure sustain and clarity.
Vibracell technology allows the instrument to be created equally, time and time again without variances in sound due to the variances in wood.
Vibracell models are offered with traditional Rosewood fingerboard and our proprietary Ebonite fingerboard. Ebonite provides the bold rich smooth warm sound of ebony along with the punch of hard rock maple. Ebonite transfers the energy from the neck to the body at an extreme high rate of speed and intensity resulting in superior crystal clear harmonics and extraordinary sustain.
