Wylde Audio Barbarian Guitars for the Stage

Pick up a Barbarian and you get a familiar single-cut layout: a mahogany body, a set neck and a 24.75" scale. That shorter scale usually means a slightly slacker, easier feel for bends and vibrato, and the format suits players who want a solid, weighty rock guitar in the hands.

On stage, the EMG 81/85 pairing is the point. It is the combination Zakk Wylde is known for, built for tight, aggressive high-gain tone and a strong output that cuts through a loud band. The graphics are just as bold: Buzzsaw, Bullseye and Norse Dragon, with RawTop satin and IronWorks finishes for those who prefer a lower-key look.

Collectors will notice the Special Editions: Blood Raven, Blood River Burl and Pale Moon Ebony. Left-handed versions are offered in several finishes, so southpaw gigging players are covered too. Prices run from about $1,599 to $1,849, and the grid below shows what LV Guitars has ready now.

Wylde Audio Barbarian Guitars - frequently asked questions

Is the Wylde Audio Barbarian a good guitar for metal and hard rock?

Yes, it suits that style. The Barbarian is a single-cutaway with a set-neck, mahogany body and 24.75" scale, loaded with EMG 81/85 pickups. That pickup pairing is associated with high-gain, hard-hitting rock and metal tones, and the design reflects Zakk Wylde's take on the classic single-cut.

What finish options does the Wylde Audio Barbarian come in?

The series offers a wide finish range. Signature graphics include Buzzsaw, Bullseye and Norse Dragon, while RawTop satin and IronWorks finishes give a more stripped-back look. Special Editions such as Blood Raven, Blood River Burl and Pale Moon Ebony add figured and darker looks.

Does the Wylde Audio Barbarian come in a left-handed version?

Yes, left-handed versions are part of the range, including a Blood River Burl Special Edition LH model, so lefties get the same single-cut format. Prices sit in a narrow band, with differences coming mainly from finish and edition. Every guitar is set up and professionally packed, with 30-day returns.
