Epiphone Zakk Wylde Graveyard Disciple: Exhumed From The Depths Of Zakk's Wylde Imagination

August 21, 2009
Epiphone Zakk Wylde Graveyard Disciple

There is never a dull moment when you think about or listen to Zakk Wylde. With work that spans a lot of dimensions with Ozzy Osbourne, Derek Sherinian, and his own band Black Label Society, you get to see how much his performance and playing could be upfront and with a lot of aggression. If you have thought that what Zakk Wylde sets your ears and eyes on fire, wait till you get a listen and a view of what he unearths next, the limited edition Epiphone Zakk Wylde Graveyard Disciple.

The Zakk Wylde Graveyard Disciple does indeed sport a killer look. While the hexagonal coffin-style case will immediately bring you memories of classic vampire and horror movies, opening it up reveals another coffin-shaped item, a guitar that will make that shocking presence onstage as impressive as Zakk Wylde's. The Graveyard Disciple is more than just looks of course as it sports a sound that caters to Mr. Wylde's demanding taste. The neck is made out of hard maple that's glued to a body made out of solid mahogany for that bright attack coupled with a touch of warmth and great sustain. The "D" profile SlimTaper neck has a smooth satin finish for seamlessly fast lead guitar work with 22 frets and an ebony fingerboard. It is also equipped with an EMG HZ-4A as a bridge pickup and an EMG HZ-4 at the neck position, 16:1 ratio Grover machine heads, mother-of-pearl topped knobs, a multi-bound headstock with cross inlays and a Zakk Wylde silhouette at the back, and Epiphone's non-rotating output jack.

This pitch-black guitar along with its own coffin case surely combines sound and style. The Epiphone Zakk Wylde Graveyard Disciple also comes with a certificate of authenticity and has a suggested selling price of 1,499.00 USD.

Horrible.

It's ugly. It also looks like it's functionally challenged.

Was he drunk out of his mind when he came up with this? This is as bad as the reverse flying V.
