My local GC had all 4 Wylde Audio guitars.
I was in a hurry so I only got to try the Odin briefly.
What surprised me was the neck, very different from his Gibson LPC. It's more like a "U" shape and I thought it felt "interesting" in a good way. The satin finish on the neck was smooth with a very low action, a nice setup from the factory too. The tone was dark with some bite to it.
Overall better than I expected, but still doesn't change the fact only diehard zakk fans will love the look.

Got to feel one for a moment and it did have a thick neck. Kind of surprised me.

At the very least they kick ass over any cheap a$$ Kramer with malignant tongue cancer. :)

James Brown was working with Schecter on amps a few years ago. If he is still there I'm thinking that ZW amp is going to rock :rock:

By the looks of it these are probably just 2203 clones that run 6550 tubes.
 
Just some side info. When Gibson came out with the flying V they said the same thing about that guitar. They did not sell and a lot of people made clocks out of them for guitar stores because they did not sell. I know this first hand from a guitar tech that worked at Gibson back in the early days. He actually had a very expensive Gibson V that was made into a clock hanging in his shop. He told me it would have been worth a fortune if it did not have clock parts in it. True story.
 
I played the Odin, which is a black/ blacker bulseye LP. It was WAY better than the old Epi LP's. The neck was MASSIVE. For anyone who likes big necks, this is your ticket. I actually liked the EMG 81. That's a first for me as I'm not usually into EMG's. The neck PU wasn't my thing.
