MichaelDH Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 So a few days go, this popped up in my local music shop. As I understand it, only 2 of these were made for Zakk Wylde but for whatever reason this model didn't go into production. I found a listing on Ebay for this ones' twin. Part of the description includes... "The guitar has stereo outputs so it can be played in mono or stereo. It has a Shadow Nanomag pickup at the neck and a Shadow Nanoflex pickup under the saddle. The Semi-hollow body has a spruce top and mahogany chambered body. It has a maple neck and ebony fret board with mother-of-pearl inlays. The bridge is rosewood, and the tuners are gold Grovers. It has a 25" scale and the nut width is 1 11/16". The one I picked up has the original truss rod cover, which the Ebay listing didn't have. It actually has a good amount of weight to it. The neck shape reminds me of a Tele. Time to go enjoy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red 333 Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Thanks for posting those photos and telling us what you know about the instrument. Fascinating. Something like a new take on the Chet Atkins SST, I suppose. What kinds of tones can you get from it? Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played through an Acoustisonic amp with a little reverb. https://youtu.be/QEOieS3tKxk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Thanks for that! I think it sounds good. You seem to able to get a variety of useful tones. Best of luck with it! Red 333 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aoresteen Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Very nice. May I ask what you had to pay to bring this beauty home? Did it come with a case? And how did your dealer get a hold of it? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelDH Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 Didn't come with a case, and I'm not sure what is available that it would fit into reasonably well. A local music store got it through MIRC. I've emailed Gibson to see if they have some info on it, waiting to hear from them yet. Very nice. May I ask what you had to pay to bring this beauty home?
