I went to a Gibson guitar clinic in a local music store back in like 1991 and he played that guitar before it was covered with caps, it was already sanded and had a couple caps, he played and sang classic rock all day with a couple of local country western cover band guys that worked at the store, he brought up a local kid to play drums on "Warpigs" as the store guys had no idea what Zakk was doing, it was awesome, he was wicked cool and drank a suitcase of Budweiser, was a great day and that guitar sounded awesome.
I went to something like that in the suburbs of Detroit around that same time. Yeah, he had the rebel guitar with a bunch of bottle caps on it, he ripped the crap out of it, lol, blew everyone away 😀🤘 ... Oh yeah I have his autograph somewhere from that event, almost forgot 😀🤘
When I first watched this vid you were in the high 9k subs. I saw you went over 10k since then and I wanted to congratulate you. Now you are off to 50k. Good job.
Just started watching your channel this past week… You have quickly become one of my favorite guitar channels!! VERY entertaining!!! I love the banter you have with your “team”… keep up these GREAT videos!!! 😁👍
I want that guitar!!!! I love the story behind it! Only knew about it being set on fire, and about the beer bottle caps, not the details of the fire! LMBO! Seems like I remember first reading about the bottle caps, and Ozzy's disdain for Zakk's "chicken pickin " in the liner notes of Live and Loud! Lol. So glad you included the story! And LMBO at the Feldman Tone Test!!! Keep rocking brother!!!!
I saw Pride and Glory open for Skynyrd back in the day Zakk came down to us. I got to high five Zakk, and touch the Rebel guitar. Great time to be a teen.
Really love the channel! I heard of you from watching the bald shredder, and after checking your channel I became an instant fan. Keep up the awesomeness.
You know what is annoying with Firefly? By the time you upload the video, the guitars are long gone. If you aren't on their website the hour they drop a new guitar, you may not even know it ever existed
@ that sucks dude, all of mine have been fuckin great. (by that I mean, it was more than I expected for the price paid) Any budget guitar, out of the box will need a proper set up from someone who knows their shit. Not saying you don't or that was the case, but that is usually a factor in budget axes. Give them another shot man, sorry yuou got fucked around on your first try, but that also happens with gibson, fender, kiesel, solar, its just part of it man,
Sweeet! And ..... I knew it! I've been seeing these on the Firefly site... and I'm like... Dave's gunna have one of these puppies in a matter of days. LOL I was right! Really cool guitar, and I'm glad you grabbed one, and share it with us. I wanted to see one of these closer up.
What, you didn't want to add to the relic this time? I saw that notched straight edge... 🤣🤣 Love the ax, brother. Looked like you really had to coax the squeals out, but they rang once you hit 'em. The pickups are decently beefy. But the look, man, and the backstory... Thanks for this, Brother! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Not a fan of relic-ed guitars but I quite like that one. Nothing wrong with southern rock in my book and I'm a Brit! Like your vids - keep em coming man.
That flag and relic job would look great on a red strat. Would be even nicer if they would have finished the sides and back and reliced them as well. Sounds great!
I don't care what think and feel about the flag, I've loved that guitar since i first saw it, one of these days I'm going to make my own version of it 🤘🏿😈🤘🏿🎸
I thought you'd be getting your hands on one of these. I saw on the Firefly Guitar Fans, that they're going to be releasing a yellow/black George Lynch tribute near the end of this month. Hoping I might be able to snag one of 'em.
Love ur videos bro I got a request don't know if u like slash or not but I'm very interested is the green andaconda burst guitar and Alliexpress has one for 270 just wounder if it be worth buying and probaly have to change the pickups but the picture show the guitar as a awesome wood grain burst just wondering if the green burst has a beautiful burst or if unget one that's just green without flame top
Sounds Cool..if nothing else the body should be ok.. you may have to swap out everything..I have gotten a Guitar from AliExpress..TOOK FOREVER to get said 30days took like 6 or 7months..all hardware, pickups and the flyod rose needed replaced wasn't very good. But that's my experience..other people have had no problems
I told you before about finding good help.Try a temp agency there non union and always over-worked. Noticed they burnt the top and blister the paint. Zakk's the Vibrato Harmonics king. I actually really like the headstock. Nice guitar Dave..
Being a Follower of John Schneider he really opened up a lot of people's eyes about the Rebel Flag and The Stupidity Their Shouldn't be Any Hate For This Flag it's a Part of History.
It was a part of the worst time in US history. That flag was rally under ignorance and a call for a separation of this country. No wonder the people who still wave it looking inbred and speak so unintelligently. Why would anyone wave the flag of losers. Our country progressed as we worked together to become better humans. That flag is a regression into backward thinking. It’s a dark shiit stain racist won’t let go of.
man Firefly needs to up their output, everytime I see a video of these cool copies of iconic guitar, i goto their site...goose eggs, none even show up..lol tho they do have two versions of the bullseye in white and the cream color..lol
Ahhh folks we need more thumbs up 👍😎🎉 😂 Juicy. Okay it might just be because I get a certain feeling about this axe, and my body reacts, but yeah I think you're right, pick ups need a switch, or it might be a good idea to swap out speakers on the amp? Yeah I would start with the pick-ups, but man what a great axe , thanks so much, hopefully I can catch it someday.
@Dave6SS damn that sounds good to be solid state doesn't it... I like black star amps as well.. I do have a little black star ID core and just recently upgraded to a Hughes and kettner tubemeister 36... Great review man.!
Btw, don't forget the old Country Music band ALABAMA!!! Soviet and Communist flags and images of their leaders on tshirts offend me, do you think Tom Morello gives a 💩? I don't think so. Doesn't stop me from liking Cochise, Show Me How To Live, and other Audio Slave songs (no I don't care for Rage Against the 💩). People need to get over it. Like what you like, and give me the same right. Let God sort it out in the end. 😊
Does firefly send you guitars. or do you buy them yourself? I watched countless videos on them & everyone goes on about how great they are.... WELL... i bought the bullseye & I've had nothing but problems since day 2. Love the guitar, but had no plans on upgrading anything... looks like I'm dumping $$$ into pickups, good electronics, & tuners.
@Dave6SS ...2nd day in, it developed a static buzz , which I traced down to the strings not properly grounding due to the paint on the stop bar. Used steel wool on it to take the paint off & sanded the posts.. all good. Then the 3 way switch went out 2 weeks later.. then the buzz returned. Not to mention my tuners are awful. Oh well.. ordered the active zw emg's & gutted all the electronics. Locking tuners also. I have no intention to ever resell, so hopefully the upgrades turn it into what I'm looking for. Love the content! Closing in on that 10k!!

ok im seriously waiting now for when you say ok people want to hear some clean tones, so heres a quick little clean tone test..you strum it once and say there ya go..all the clean you need..lol
Not a fire fly fan at all, every time you try and get one they are sold out! If you can't drop more than a few,I will stick with my authentic Wylde Audio Shecter guitar s
I’m a huge Zakk fan, I love his guitars and own several, one signed. I’ve even played with him on stage. This is my least favorite of his guitars. Cool story, ugly guitar. I did place an order at Firefly for the Buckethead V through your link though, so thanks for that!
I am sorry but, destroying the finish, especially as much as they did on your "WYLDE" model. I am not a fan of distressed or relics. Then torching it...
That's your opinion,and your opinion is wrong lol,the guitar I'd bad ass,peroid. If it didn't have the worn relic look to the paint, I wouldn't even consider it.
Yikes!!!! Not with that "confederate flag" paint job. That automatically makes it a junk guitar. 😂 (& it's a confederate flag; not a "rebel flag." Cool that they burned the original if that's true.)
The Irony is that stupid rebel flag people fly nowadays was never even flown during the civil war nor was it ever used by the actual f=confederacy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Right Its insane 🤣
Very true
I was very fortunate to have gotten the zakk wylde classic bullseye
Also QC is lax. The one I got was unplayable. Never again. I'll stick with jet guitars for a cheap good guitar
@@UnklePecos dude I'm sorry that sucks
Mine was great
@ that sucks dude, all of mine have been fuckin great. (by that I mean, it was more than I expected for the price paid)

Great Guitar and I love The look of it, Getting Closer and Closer to the BIG 10K HELL YEAH 👍

Guitar looks and sounds awesome!!!

Another great video awesome guitar hopefully they start carrying them all the time be able to get one
Hope so
The intro made me laugh out loud. Good job.

Glad you like it! 🤘😎🍻 They did an Awesome job with the relic..Thanks for Watching Man 🍻😎
7:26 "Gimme the clap, guys" was not what I had on my bingo card for a guitar review but here we are 🤘😎
🤣🤣🤣🤘
Nice geetar man, I can tell ur really pumped about this one 🍻
Yeah man it's killer! 😎
What, you didn't want to add to the relic this time? I saw that notched straight edge... 🤣🤣
Love the ax, brother.
Looked like you really had to coax the squeals out, but they rang once you hit 'em. The pickups are decently beefy.
But the look, man, and the backstory...
Thanks for this, Brother! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
🤘😎🤘🤘🤘 Glad you liked it!
In my opinion changing out the pickups on a firefly is a given. Really they are the only weak point.
I absolutely love this dude...
🤘😎
Not a fan of relic-ed guitars but I quite like that one.
Nothing wrong with southern rock in my book and I'm a Brit! Like your vids - keep em coming man.
Thanks Man 🍻
Dave bringin' the Confederate Flag back! Down with the "wokeness"! Beautiful axe from FF, per usual!
Hell Yeah 🍻
That flag and relic job would look great on a red strat. Would be even nicer if they would have finished the sides and back and reliced them as well. Sounds great!
Lol, I know what you mean 😂🤘
very nice🤘😎
Thank you! Cheers! 🤘😎
Cant even find that guitar listed on the web site ?
They go super quick when they drop..Hopefully they will pop back up in the future
Hell yeah
😎🤘🍻
Very interesting guitar.
It sure is hard to find good help these days 😂 the comments to the off camera guys is hilarious.
10k ain’t far away
Thanks Man..Glad you like the content..10K is super close 😎
Almost to 10.000 I see
Very Close 😎👍
Magic juice, twisting knobs, feeling the nut😂 love the show
🤣🤣 Thanks 🍻
Where do I find this!?
Hopefully, it will be available again very soon..😎
The guy on report? Is his name John Jacob Jiggle Himerschmit? That's my name too! 😆 Thanks Dave 🤘 little ditty!
🤣🤣🍻
As disappointing as is to miss out. Its part of the cool factor to have a limited run. I managed to get one of the john5 tributes. Very cool guitar.
Nice That looked like a Killer Guitar 😎
Hell yeah. The coolest American flag.
I don't care what think and feel about the flag, I've loved that guitar since i first saw it, one of these days I'm going to make my own version of it 🤘🏿😈🤘🏿🎸
🤘😎🤘
What effects are you using?
Just a preset on my Blackstar id260tvp amp
What would you say the neck profile is?
It doesn't say in the specs..but if I had to guess I would say C profile
Ozzy and the guys lit Zakks guitar on fire.
Now we need an FFVX done up like the Rust From Hell. Sweet
🤘🏻👊🏻🤘🏻
I thought you'd be getting your hands on one of these. I saw on the Firefly Guitar Fans, that they're going to be releasing a yellow/black George Lynch tribute near the end of this month. Hoping I might be able to snag one of 'em.
Yeah I seen that..Good Luck hope you can snag 1 🤘😎
Now did yours come with a unique scent of oil? I got the HEAVY relic black one and it really had an oil funk where they were treating the raw wood.
Lol didn't notice that
I like this firefly guitar.
Not a bad looking guitar, I prefer to do the relicing myself lol. Definitely needs a pickup swap for sure, but overall, it's sounds ok. Relic Rawk!
🤘😎 I'm with you on the pickup swap..
Cool guitar suits you - EMG Pickups and she be perfect
😎🤘
Love ur videos bro I got a request don't know if u like slash or not but I'm very interested is the green andaconda burst guitar and Alliexpress has one for 270 just wounder if it be worth buying and probaly have to change the pickups but the picture show the guitar as a awesome wood grain burst just wondering if the green burst has a beautiful burst or if unget one that's just green without flame top

10k on the way. 6SS
So close! 🤘😎
I wonder how long the gold hardware will stay that bright
Once the shine goes it will have even more of a relic look
The coolest fiddle of all time
Hell Yeah 🤘😎
man Firefly needs to up their output, everytime I see a video of these cool copies of iconic guitar, i goto their site...goose eggs, none even show up..lol tho they do have two versions of the bullseye in white and the cream color..lol
I agree they go quick..Lol if you see something you like BUY it, may not be there in 10 minutes
Ok kidz.
Hope you like this infomercial of DONT DO DRUGS.
🤣🤣
Ahhh folks we need more thumbs up 👍😎🎉
😂 Juicy.
Okay it might just be because I get a certain feeling about this axe, and my body reacts, but yeah I think you're right, pick ups need a switch, or it might be a good idea to swap out speakers on the amp? Yeah I would start with the pick-ups, but man what a great axe , thanks so much, hopefully I can catch it someday.
Yeah, the pickups are definitely not hot enough 🤘🍻
This video definitely got some thumbs down from me
Dude... What are you playing thru
Blackstar id260tvp
@Dave6SS damn that sounds good to be solid state doesn't it... I like black star amps as well.. I do have a little black star ID core and just recently upgraded to a Hughes and kettner tubemeister 36... Great review man.!
Thanks Man..Blackstar is Awesome 😎🤘
Bad ass guitar put your beer caps on it 🤘🏻
🤘🍻😎
Almost to 10k, WOW😅
So close! 😎
I see you have your drop and ding straight edge handy. You can relic any guitar with that one.
🤣🤣 Absolutely 🍻
Looks like they hit it with a torch.

Killer
Fret buzz will kill harmonics as well big chief. I like that thing. Would rock it down here in GA
Trust me I know..I raised the action..its definitely the pickups
I would like to see this with the entire rebel flag, not relic.
I heard somewhere gibson made him and bret micheals the same rebel flag guitar im assuming thats why zakk reliced his.
Yeah Zakk was Pissed when he found out Brett had the same Guitar 🤣
No bottle caps? Pfft!
Sober version
Now I got to start up a New hobby Lol 🍻
🤣🤣

The body looks huge likes it’s the size of a hollow body 330
I think it's the shape of the decal thata throwing you off, it is the size of a LP
And also grote 003 lp guitars are beautiful just don't see any reveiws on em
I did a Black LP Grote awhile back in the Channel..pretty impressive
260 to go
🍻😎
5:58 they kinda resemble Grovers ... lol
Does it pinch harmonics ? Yeah it does !!!
🤣🤣 it has to or it's not a Zakk Wylde Guitar

LOL I actually done un a video awhile back..cant remember which one though..Thanks for Watching 😎🤘
Like the way you used fish scales to weigh the guitar lol
Lol seen others do it..seems like it works pretty well 🤣
Nothing wrong with a buzz!
🤣🤣
Wont be long now
LET'S GO 😎
I dunno, video maybe needed more pinch harmonics....
🤣🤣🤘
Definitely needs a pickup swap
🤘😎
Man you are INSANE!!!...LOL
🤣🤘🍻
It would be a awesome video u could do if u wanted to
20:13 take it to HR
🤣🤣🤣
Nice guitar but tbh all the guitars sound the same with yr amp setting, although these pickups are a bit weak
That's the secret guitar manufacturers don't want you to know. The amp and most importantly the speaker, are more important than the guitar you play.
I would subscribe to your channel if you didn’t waste time telling so many stupid jokes
🤣🤣 Thats what the Chapters are for
@ i can’t believe that you actually think you’re funny
Pretty sure they all come with nickel strings.
Right..I pretty sure as well
Two bones for a fake zakk rebel.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
Kinda uncanny to see it pristine when the original was rusty, flamed and used to death
Right..Lol fresh start
@@Dave6SS great find, enjoy that beauty! 🤘
Confederate Flagg not a reb flagg
Not a fire fly fan at all, every time you try and get one they are sold out! If you can't drop more than a few,I will stick with my authentic Wylde Audio Shecter guitar s
They are definitely hard to get
A burnt sticker is cool eh, hmm, didn’t watch you have like 500 Zack Wilde videos, can’t stand Ozzy either, zero musical talents.
It shows the flag being burnt up
I’m a huge Zakk fan, I love his guitars and own several, one signed. I’ve even played with him on stage. This is my least favorite of his guitars. Cool story, ugly guitar. I did place an order at Firefly for the Buckethead V through your link though, so thanks for that!
Nice 🍻
Hmm. I think this guitar is the best of Zakks guitars. It is wholly indicative of his tastes and gloriously shows its history of love n abuse.
a great conversation starter piece where the person who owns it starts getting clammy, jumpy and defensive about their purchase.
I am sorry but, destroying the finish, especially as much as they did on your "WYLDE" model. I am not a fan of distressed or relics. Then torching it...
That's your opinion,and your opinion is wrong lol,the guitar I'd bad ass,peroid. If it didn't have the worn relic look to the paint, I wouldn't even consider it.
Fyi they didn't realy torch these replicas lmao,it's paint
Dont be sorry. You have an opinion. Its wrong but hey we cant all have good taste.
Yikes!!!! Not with that "confederate flag" paint job. That automatically makes it a junk guitar. 😂
(& it's a confederate flag; not a "rebel flag." Cool that they burned the original if that's true.)
It's ok, I am sure they can make one with a Rainbow flag for you and you can play it in your safe space.
@@atilla429 🤣👍🏻
You are really strange Jake.
@atilla429 ok, homophobic scumbag. I'll be sure to check on that.
@frednovaes5888 yeah, maybe...I'm not wrong.

Zakk most overrated guitarist this generation.
