Wylde Audio: Zakk Wylde's imprint in a dedicated series
Iconic figure of the Heavy Metal scene and leader of Black Label Society, Zakk Wylde is recognizable both by his expressive playing and his radically styled guitars. With Wylde Audio, he offers a range designed as an extension of his universe: distinctive look, performance-oriented components, and formidable saturation efficiency. This IronWorks Metal Top version pushes the visual character even further without losing sight of what matters: impact and precision.
For which guitarists and styles?
This 6-string electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an instrument ready for stage and studio use, especially in standard or lower tunings. It excels in Heavy Metal, hard rock, sludge, and any genre requiring solid rhythm, leads that cut through the mix, and excellent performance under heavy distortion. The active pickups are particularly suited for those who appreciate a clear, powerful, and highly controlled sound.
The sound
The combination of a mahogany body and glued neck promotes a dense tonal foundation with sustain and present mids, ideal for heavy riffs. The ebony fingerboard provides a sharper attack and clear definition, useful for maintaining clarity in high-gain settings. On the electronics side, the active EMG 81/85 pickups (humbuckers) deliver a high output level, natural compression, and razor-sharp precision: the EMG 81 is incisive and tight for rhythms, while the EMG 85 offers more warmth for leads. The 3-position selector and 2 volume, 1 tone controls allow quick balancing between pickups and adjusting the bite according to the amp and style.
