Sound & Tone
The mahogany body with set-neck construction and 24.625" scale gives this guitar a thick, warm low end and sustain that blooms, while the ebony fretboard and maple neck keep note attack tight and articulate. The active EMG 81 in the bridge delivers high-output, compressed bite for tight rhythm chugging and cutting lead work, and the EMG 85 in the neck offers a fatter, rounder voice for solos and cleaner passages. It's aimed squarely at hard rock and metal players who want clarity under heavy gain, with X-jumbo frets and a 14" radius suiting aggressive bending and fast pentatonic phrasing.
Wylde Audio Mahogany Blackout Blood Eagle Guitar
The Wylde Audio Mahogany Blackout Blood Eagle is a premium solid-body electric built for aggressive playing and high-output performance. Its Zakk C neck profile delivers a fast, comfortable grip, while the mahogany body with quilted maple top balances weight and resonance for extended playing sessions. This is an instrument engineered for hard rock and metal players who demand both precision and raw tonal power.
Playability & Construction
The 3-piece maple set neck and ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl large block inlays provide stability and visual clarity across the fingerboard. Access to the upper register is straightforward thanks to the 24.625" scale length and 22 X-Jumbo frets paired with a 14" fretboard radius, all secured by a Graphtech Black TUSQ nut and Grover tuners for reliable tuning stability.
Tone & Electronics
Dual EMG 81/85 active pickups deliver articulate high-output clarity and tight bass response essential for heavy tones and modern gain structures. The TonePros T3BP Tone-O-Matic bridge and TonePros T1ZS tailpiece provide both tonal sustain and hardware durability, while the 9-volt clip-in battery compartment keeps the active system powered and ready for studio or stage work.
