Wylde Audio Barbarian Electric Guitar Grimmest Green

Aesthetics: I personally LOVE this guitar looks, the horns/cutaways, the swirled bullseye, the bright olive green and the big pearlish fret inlays are definitely eye candy. All the mate black hardware looks great, sturdy and high quality as well. All of the nuts and washers, screws, headstock tuners, saddle and bridge are great. Playability: Overall, it feels great to play. The nut is very sturdy, high quality, not a cheap plastic that will get damaged faster while playing. The EMGs are very close to the strings which capture ALL of your playing and is really easy to do pinch harmonics, surprisingly there is NO (noticeable at moderate volume) feedback. Size: The guitar is built for and by Zakk standards, we all know he is a big guy but surprisingly this guitar feels pretty comfortable to play for a guy like me that I'm considerably smaller than him, the neck profile is perfect: Not too think, not too thick with easy access to the higher frets due to the SG kind of body type. Weight: Surprisingly lighter than I expected, a LP would definitely feel heavier than this Barbarian. Cons: (Not really cons, just observations) The only thing I noticed is the jumbo frets which are a little tricky at first to glide around the fretboard. You can actually feel the steps while moving up and down the neck, it will hurt at first until you get used to it. Also, as expected to any SG type body, there is a little bit of neck dive. Make sure you have a reliable strap that doesn't slide or you can change the position of the strap button on the back, but that will require making a new hole to the body.

Went to guitar center with the intention of buying the hellfire buzz saw barbarian today but after playing it for about an hour I realized the neck is seriously too thick. I have average hands. Not small not big and this neck is the thickest neck I have ever felt. To me it is thicker than a 50s Les Paul neck. I feel like my thumb can't find a happy spot around that giant tree trunk. I was so disappointed because it was clearanced out for such a good price (probably because no one will buy it because of the neck). I think this body style looks so much cooler than a sg. Not the biggest fan of the cheap looking graphic but at least it blends in with the black edges. The tone was ok. Not very deep or warm for such a thick neck but that is thanks to active emgs. Also it is actually really light weight although it looks like a thick slab of wood it must be chambered or weight relieved. Overall killer looking guitar and definitely worth the clearance price but I can't play the fat neck.

Seems lighter weight than the Odin, but still solid. Good resonance when playing un-amplified. The fit, finish and feel of the neck is great - no protrusions or rough spots, tall fretwire and beautiful square M.O.P. fretmarkers. Set-up was very good off the rack. Finish on the back of the chunky neck is very smooth satin which I really like, in fact the more I play it the more I like the neck. It just works. Plugging in, playing clean you get a very clear quality tone that responds very well to the tone control. Rolling on the overdrive, the EMGs scream and squeal very nicely! Body shape is wicked-cool with a beautiful quilted maple veneer front under Zakk designed buzz-saw pattern.

Fantastic build quality. I would rank it as good as my two Gibsons. The weight is about the same as my les paul studio. Great bite from the pickups. Smooth ebony board. The tuners and hardware are top notch in my book. Bought it for the look but kept it for the performance and sound.

Picked up this fiddle play ability is awesome sounds incredible definitely Zakk Wylde Quality guitar great deal I would say buy it it's screams heavy metal. Rock on and enjoy 🎸

Fast shipping, cool looking guitar, quality made.
