I have this guitar bought it in 2005 .. paid like €1400 for it!! Still in fairly good nick.
I always wanted one of these so badly !
They're cool units! I may be able to help you find one. PM me via my link tree
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.
Really good and badass looking guitar!
Cheers!
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.
I own 3 Wylde Audio guitars and I can confidently say they are super well made and great to play.
I'd love to get a Warhammer one day
@@EricMorettin I have one and am glad I got it when it came out because now your only option is the used market unless Father Zakk graces us with a new run
@@kilmerval that's awesome! I can only hope Zakk releases some more given that's his main guitar now
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.
Wow! A beast
Cheers!
That pinch harmonic at 9:22... fuck 🤘🏻
I've learned from Father Zakk himself 😎🤘 cheers
can u whitening the edge binding in the headstock ?
Beautiful guitar, I'm thinking about doing all of this to mine as well, maybe even some new locking tuners.
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?
These frets felt pretty small, like the other Norlin era Gibsons I've played. Nothing like what I have on my guitars
Which brand you used for bridge and tailpiece ?
I used a NOS Epiphone bridge and tailpiece
9:26 what is that riff? It's very familiar and I don't remember where I know that riff😅
Concrete Jungle 🤘
@@EricMorettin thanks! 🤟🏻
I regutted mine. I swapped for the hetfields and new hardware as well. Sound better then most my other guitars and it’s nostalgic for me as I always wanted it lol. I got mine on OfferUp. Traded a Xbox for it lol.
1000$ in australia in good condition
Can you set mine up
Too?
Sure!
Rip those beautiful passive pickups 😢😢
They're just HZ's which Zakk Never used. They're only in there from factory for a cost factor.
@@EricMorettin Yeah he may not use them live, but they sound really good on their own. ua-cam.com/video/rYMupc564zE/v-deo.html He's using the passives on an Epiphone there, and it sounds amazing. I want to try the actives myself though.
Look at the camera not yourself
