Wylde Audio BARBARIAN NORSE DRAGON BULLSEYE

Wylde Audio guitars are extraordinary instruments, custom-made for Zakk Wylde—frontman of Black Label Society and guitarist for the Pantera reunion. The mahogany body produces a powerful, rich sound. The maple neck, featuring set-neck construction and a robust "Zakk-C" profile, offers excellent playability. All models are equipped with an EMG 81 bridge pickup and an EMG 85 neck pickup, as well as a TonePros bridge.

EMG Pickups

EMG pickups represent the cutting edge of electric guitar and bass pickup technology, renowned for their sonic clarity, low noise, and versatility. Thanks to active technology, they generate a powerful, interference-resistant signal, particularly in high-gain settings. Available in various versions, they offer tones ranging from vintage to modern and allow for great tonal flexibility through features like push-pull potentiometers. Highly prized in rock and metal genres, EMG pickups stand out for their reliability and top-tier sound quality.

TonePros® Bridge

The TonePros® bridge is designed to ensure maximum stability and optimal string vibration transfer. A distinctive feature of the TonePros® bridge is its locking system. The strings are secured via special saddle designs that, in addition to enhancing tuning stability, improve vibration transfer to the instrument's body and increase sustain.

Set-Neck Construction

Set-neck construction is distinguished by its specific tonal characteristics and playability. Unlike bolt-on neck joints, the set-neck system involves firmly gluing the neck to the guitar body. This fixed joint eliminates the need for screws or additional connecting hardware, facilitating a more direct transfer of string vibrations to the body. The result is a powerful, resonant sound characterized by extended sustain.

Ebony Fretboard

The ebony fretboard is characterized by a clear, precise tonal quality. The wood's dense structure allows for efficient transmission of string vibrations to the body, offering a balanced sound spectrum with crystalline highs and well-defined mid-range frequencies. Quilted Maple Top

Quilted maple is distinguished by its striking wavy pattern, giving the instrument a unique and luxurious appearance. This type of wood is often chosen for its natural beauty and exclusivity. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the quilted maple top also offers sonic benefits: the wood often produces a bright, crisp tone that particularly enhances upper harmonics. Specifications
