The Fender Wildwood guitar was a flat top acoustic guitar introduced by the Fender Musical Instrument Corporation Fender company in 1966 . The Wildwood was a variation on the Fender Kingman guitar, featuring a variety of dyed wood colors. The unique color patterns were achieved by injecting living beech trees with dye prior to being harvested to make the veneer for the back, sides, top and headstock. Wildwood guitars were available in gold, brown, purple, dark blue, purple blue, green or blue green. Fender offered other acoustic and electric models with the same veneer option, adding Wildwood to the model name often noted on the pick guard as with the Wildwood Coronado Bass guitar. Fender Wildwood II s , like other Fender acoustic guitars of the time, were unique in that the neck of the acoustic guitar was the same as those used on Fender electric guitars and bolted to a block inside the acoustic guitar body. A resonator bar extended inside the body from the neck block to the bottom of the guitar, which reportedly benefited the tone of the guitar.

This unique configuration married a high quality neck more akin to a Fender electric guitar than a typical acoustic instrument attached to a standard sized acoustic dreadnaught body. Due to this unusual configuration a tone bar derisively termed a broomstick of aluminum had to be added through the body for structural rigidity. In 1965 66 the name King was changed to Kingman and finally discontinued with the entire critically derided and poorly selling acoustic line in 1971. p The King was available in a variety of high quality woods and later included in the bizarre Wildwood line of multi colored died wood finishes offered by Fender at the time.
