Wylde Audio guitars $999 : What do you think?

[skoora]

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

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.
