MusicRadar.com has issued the following report from Joe Bosso:
ZAKK WYLDE officially unveiled his new Epiphone Graveyard Disciple guitar in New York City this past weekend, and he gave MusicRadar an exclusive look and listen to his latest - and craziest - creation.
If you thought Wylde's line of Gibson and Epiphone Les Pauls (not to mention that ZV - part Flying V, part SG) were distinctive, they've got nothing on the Graveyard Disciple. Looks-wise, this thing is in a class all its own.
As you can see in the video, the new guitar, designed by Wylde in conjunction with Epiphone, is indeed shaped like a coffin. The body is solid mahogany the and glued-on neck is hard maple with an ebony fingerboard.
Wylde, founder and leader of BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and, until recently, guitarist for OZZY OSBOURNE, stressed that easy access to the guitar's 22 frets was of one of his main concerns with the Graveyard Disciple.
