!!METAL MATT!! Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 http://www.deanguitars.com/zakk_wylde.htm Ok so What do you guy's think of this thing? !!METAL MATT!! Quote Link to comment
Jivin Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 I can't quite decide if I really like the horns or not... but overall I think it looks cool. I love the messy bullseye finish Is this going to be a Dean model? Or is it a custom shop thing for Zakk? I want more pics! - Dan Quote Link to comment
GregP Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 Pretty badass, IMO. I always assumed he had an endorsement from Gibson, though. Guess it was non-exclusive! Greg Quote Link to comment

Gorecki Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I wouldn't say I love it but it's different and not particularly tacky. Quote Link to comment
egdeltar Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Im not a big fan of Zakk Wylde but that guitar is killer looking!!! Quote Link to comment
bigdguitars Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 its an sg vs a V Quote Link to comment
Gorecki Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 its an sg vs a V ← Yeah, it's though they just took a basic kelly king and an modern SG and glued the two. But again, it's not offensive or anything. Quote Link to comment
duo2 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I usually don't like the more heavy metal type guitars but im really digging this one. That finish is killer. Quote Link to comment
Gorecki Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I didn't see it until now but all the links that say 'Go to Zakk' this or that, actually go to Dimebag this or that? Quote Link to comment
Jehle Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I think Zakk should shave that beard, first of all. I don't like the horns on the guitar at all. It looks goofy. That's probably because I really don't like the shape of the SG at all. The V part of the guitar is sweet though. I would say that. Quote Link to comment

I would say that In no way should Zakk shave that beard I like This new design the more I look at it the More I want one And that finish Is Just DEADLY I would love To see the LP done up like that!! !!METAL MATT!!

crafty Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 It also uses regular passive pickups too, looks like a Dimebucker in the bridge. Might be moving away from EMG. Looks like Dean might be trying to make a comeback by eating up all of ESP and Gibson's endorsers. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment
westhemann Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Looks like Dean might be trying to make a comeback by eating up all of ESP and Gibson's endorsers. they might have some success against gibson...but if they want esps customers they are going to have to come out with more designs...i really don't think the dean models look all that good... esp on the other hand has a sleek,sexy image that no other company except jackson really has Quote Link to comment
x189player Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Horns look good on a Vee! Quote Link to comment
westhemann Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Horns look good on a Vee! ← a bolt on v just sucks,imo...almost zero wood surrounding and supporting the neck. Quote Link to comment
GregP Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Well that's bad news, as that photo shows about the same amount of wood that's going to surround and support the neck on my project. It looks like mine has more because it's a double-cutaway; however, that actual amount of wood contacting the neck looks pretty similar. Greg Quote Link to comment

Greg ← don't worry too much about it...the kerry king v is the same way(the cheap one)as are many others...i just don't like it for tone or stability Quote Link to comment
sepultura999 Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 seeing as Gibson sued PRS for the tremonti, do you think Gibson will go after Dean now? The V with the Dean headstock is killer in my opinion. I love symmetry, however i cannot quite say anything yet with the SG horns added. Maybe it's the angle, maybe they need to be a bit bigger so it looks more balanced with the V. I'm not sure. So far it looks okay, but I hate cream colour. Btw, he better not shave that beard. He looks like a Wizard and we all know that Wizards are cool lol. -Jamie Quote Link to comment
Strange Fruit Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 And pretty soon he'll be endorsing Randall, dying his beard pink and adding Floyd Roses to everything... Quote Link to comment
haggardguy Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 I'd enjoy that as long as he started wearing bell bottoms again ;P Quote Link to comment
