I'm a huge - HUGE fan of zakk wylde and his playing style right from his ozzy days. Ever since I laid my hands on this guitar, I have started practicing like a man possessed. EMG-81/85 humbuckers help in getting the cleanest to the most distorted wild tones that's really thicky and sustained. the body itself has a very beautiful feel to it and the fret board makes playing fast accurate super fast licks a breeze. rest of the specs compliment the guitar very well. go starve yourself but buy this guitar if you a zakk wylde fan :)
