The guitar it's self isn't anything out of the ordinary... but Wilco's the man, and the guitar has an unmistakable look.

£501, the look would be easy just think they've gave a Sig to some one deserving... unlike say Gibson Chris Cornell 335, not a guitar I would particularly associate with the man.

Good to see Fender paying Wilco some respect while he's still with us.

He got the specs right:

I think it's fine to use it in the context of actually swaggering ie. strutting like a sexy boastful pirate.

Straw boating hats in the day, top hats at night. Nothing else is acceptable.

Also swagger is a legit term. Swag is (as near as I can tell) some form of STD running rampant in youth culture.
