Ah yes, the Bossun Ee Pardy ;-)The "T" is silent since that mishap in Boston !! I'm Bri ish !
Yeah, and if you were to email them back, the next CSR would pronounce it the other way (correctly). You got a quickie answer from a low-level guy.Well, I thought I'd go straight to the source. And the answer is..

(Not the way I thought, but now I know).
That thought crossed my mind. I just remember growing up just outside of L.A. (San Fernando Valley), and remember Wilshire Blvd as always being pronounced "Wil-sure". I think that's why it 'sounds more right' to me.Yeah, and if you were to email them back, the next CSR would pronounce it the other way (correctly). You got a quickie answer from a low-level guy.
do they also say Warsh rag (wash rag) because that sounds like how ppl would say it here in ohio too?

I'm curious.. can you elaborate?Who/ what was the guitar named after. Should be a clue
I couldn't find anything on whether it's eponymous to a person/place named Wil-shurr or Wil-shy-ur. So we may never know. I did learn that Hendrix and Springsteen played them.I'm curious.. can you elaborate?
I will say that it's an amazing guitar. I'm primarily a Strat guy but was looking for a 'diversion', and tried out 5 Les Pauls (1 Gibson, 4 Epi), 3 PRS and a Gretsch before picking up this one, and instantly recognized that (for me) the neck felt the best, had ZERO fret buzz, and the P90's sounded the best for my style, which is very clean and more jazzy. I am also in the process of putting together an HH pickguard with 2 Gibson 490s for my Strat. I'm making them "quick change" so I can flip-flop between SSS and HH whenever I want to change up for a while.I couldn't find anything on whether it's eponymous to a person/place named Wil-shurr or Wil-shy-ur.

Are you sure about the silent "h" in Hampshire, though?It's WilTshire in England, with a t in the middle. And in Wiltshire they pronounce it Wilt-shur, not Wilt-shire. Same as in neighboring Hampshire (pronounced Hamp-shur, often with a silent h) where I grew up.

Btw, how do you make a "Quick change" loaded pickguard for a strat? It sounds really interesting.
Why do that when you can just do this?I just jump wires together so I just have 2 wires coming from the guitar and 2 from the pickguard. A quick tack solder just takes a couple minutes. Probably 5-10 minutes at most to change pickguards.

I ask because, apparently, "in Hhertford, Hhereford and Hhampshire, hhuricanes hhardly ever hhappen".
I'll see myself out!
I grew up in the Appalachian corner of Ohia (about 10 miles closer to Wheeling than to Columbus), where you might say "I got pooshed off the rufe and landed in the boosh; got dirty, so I had to warsh up in the crick so I wooden git Ma's fronachur dirty. Then we went off ta church fer washup servuhziz - but I spent the whole time coloring with my crans; one of them smelled like vuhnella."do they also say Warsh rag (wash rag) because that sounds like how ppl would say it here in ohio too?
In the UK we wouldn't pronounce it 'shire'...Hey All, I haven’t been on here in a while, but yesterday I stumbled upon a new Cherry Wilshire P-90 while checking out a new (to me) music store. I was very impressed so I bought it. Here’s my question: is Wilshire pronounced Wil-shire (like in England), or Wil-shur (like the boulevard in Los Angeles)? I know it doesn’t really matter but I’m just curious. Thanks
yinz used crans too lol...yeah i live like 20 minutes from wheelingI grew up in the Appalachian corner of Ohia (about 10 miles closer to Wheeling than to Columbus), where you might say "I got pooshed off the rufe and landed in the boosh; got dirty, so I had to warsh up in the crick so I wooden git Ma's fronachur dirty.
