Schecter Guitar Research and Wylde Audio have announced a worldwide distribution deal for Wylde Guitars, the instrument line of Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne). The first offerings from Wylde Audio will be the Odin, War Hammer and Viking models, set to debut at the 2016 Winter NAMM in Anaheim, CA.

Commented Wylde:

I’m very excited for the launch of Wylde Audio in 2016. For me, it’s the next logical step. You start as a player, manager, VP of Team Operations, then Team Owner. I’ve surrounded myself with super talented people to make this vision become a reality and having Schecter on board as our distributor is going to allow me to bring Wylde Audio’s boutique quality of craftsmanship to the next level.

Commented Marc LaCorte, Schecter Guitar Research Executive Vice-president:

We are extremely proud to be working with Zakk and Wylde Audio on this endeavor. Zakk has been incredible in recognizing what he wanted in his own brand and bringing the best possible product to the market.
