Wylde Audio Goreghen Special Edition Electric Guitar - Blood River Burl | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Wylde Audio Goreghen Special Edition electric guitar is a high-octane metal machine designed by legendary guitarist Zakk Wylde and crafted by Schecter to deliver crushing tone and aggressive performance. This instrument features a mahogany body with a striking Blood River Burl epoxy top, a three-piece maple neck with ebony fingerboard, and a powerful EMG 81/85 pickup combination that provides the sonic firepower needed for modern metal and hard rock. Built for players who demand uncompromising power and distinctive aesthetics, the Goreghen Special Edition brings Zakk Wylde's signature aggression to guitarists in Idaho Falls and beyond.
Product Overview
The Goreghen Special Edition showcases a solid mahogany body topped with a visually stunning Blood River Burl epoxy finish that creates a unique, one-of-a-kind appearance. The mahogany construction delivers warm, resonant low-end response with excellent sustain, making it ideal for heavy rhythm work and thick, saturated lead tones. The flat-top design and aggressive body contours provide both visual impact and playing comfort, while the set neck deep insert joint maximizes sustain and tonal transfer between neck and body.
The three-piece maple neck features Zakk Wylde's signature "Zakk 'C'" profile—a comfortable shape that measures .83" at the first fret and .96" at the twelfth fret, offering substantial feel without being overly chunky. Topped with a 14" radius ebony fingerboard adorned with distinctive white pearloid rune inlays, the neck provides 22 X-Jumbo frets for effortless bends and aggressive playing techniques. The 24.625" scale length delivers optimal string tension for drop tunings and heavy gauge strings, making this an exceptional choice for metal players exploring alternative tunings at Idaho Falls guitar shops.
The Goreghen Special Edition is equipped with EMG's legendary active pickup combination: an EMG 81 in the bridge position for tight, focused attack and an EMG 85 in the neck position for thick, warm lead tones. Both pickups feature brushed gold engraved Buzzsaw covers that complement the guitar's premium satin gold hardware. Individual volume controls for each pickup, plus a master tone control and three-way toggle switch, provide versatile tonal options from crushing rhythm tones to singing lead voices. The TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece ensure rock-solid tuning stability and excellent sustain transfer.
