      My dad bought me one for my 21st birthday, 21 years ago now. I've had Gibsons, USA Jacksons, and this has been my main guitar for 21 years! Built incredibly well. I changed the pickups, and it screams. I need to change the hardware, though. Definitely worth the cash if you can find one; I'll never sell mine.

    The Zakk models are so cool, I really like the stripes V, but I must say, my favorite must be the bullseye Dean splittail, the bullseye razorback is awesome too

      The buzzsaw has to be my favorite of Zakk's original designs. You can't beat his bullseye razorback or stealths though.

      From what I hear they're really just Schecters with Zakk Wylde's name on them.

    I love when they say “neck dive”. Need a better shoulder strap that would fix any “neck dive”. Simple physics body probably weights about ~7# the neck is only a pound or so at best. There should no neck dive.

    Beautiful guitar, I'm thinking about doing all of this to mine as well, maybe even some new locking tuners.

    • @EricMorettin
      @EricMorettin  Рік тому +1

      Thank you! I thought about locking tuners as well, and I'd definitely recommend it. The gold Wilkinson ones should be a direct, cost effective, replacement.

    Question about the frets. Do/did they feel a lot lower/closer to the fretboard than your average medium jumbo fret?

    • @EricMorettin
      @EricMorettin  5 місяців тому

      These frets felt pretty small, like the other Norlin era Gibsons I've played. Nothing like what I have on my guitars
