I have the action on most of my guitars set fairly high because I love the tone that way. I use this guitar for many of the guest leads I play on other folks’ records.Ġ9. In fact, it plays WAY TOO easily so I don’t dare practice on it, as it would undoubtedly subconsciously discourage me to pick up any of my other guitars. It sounds incredible, like liquid high-speed flamethrowers, and it plays like melted butter. KXK Warrior V7: This unbelievable work of supreme guitar building is an ungodly 7-string shred machine that served as great inspiration for the guys in the Dean custom shop. I use it on Nile records for classic single coil neck position Strat/Plexi Marshall tones like the break in “Enduring the Eternal Immolation of Flame.”Ġ8. I toured it so much that I wore the original Fender neck out, so I replaced it with a Warmoth scalloped maple neck (with Jackson sticker). This later became the guitar I used all the time on tour with Nile in the early days. It had been butchered with a Kahler tremelo bridge which I immediately had replaced with a brass block and non-tremelo bridge. I got it from a friend who traded it to me in exchange for some guitar lessons. 1973 Fender Strat: I have had this guitar FOREVER.

I usually use the Invader or the Duncan Distortion in the bridge position but I use several different flavors for the neck The Pearly Gates, Full Shred, and various single coil models.Ġ7. Seymour Duncan pickups: I love these pickups. I got the idea years ago watching and listening to Bob Vigna of Immolation and his incredible octave guitar work.Ġ6. It’s mixed/blended with the normal guitars in such a way that you cant really necessarily hear the insidious evil higher octave consciously, but it lends melodic definition to the ultra-low drop tuning of our normal guitars. The guitar is set up in the same exact way my other guitars are (scalloped neck, brass nut, Seymour Duncan pickup straight-wired to jack) but I use it to make an EXACT one octave up unison layer of certain riffs. The guitar is in what I call “Nileville” tuning, because it is an octave higher than our normal tuning of Drop A. Dean 79 “Nileville” V: You have heard this specialty axe on many older Nile songs but you might not be able to pinpoint it because it’s mixed very subtley.

It’s such a gorgeous guitar that it resides in regal honor next to my sarcophagus in the den of my home.Ġ5. Dean Black Gold ML: This guitar doesn’t appear on Sethu or any Nile disc, but I do a substantial amount of practicing on this guitar both at home and on tour, so a lot of ideas come to me while it’s in hand. It’s responsible for MANY classic Nile tracks.Ġ4. Combined with the super-skinny neck (Dean Zelinski has really small hands), the direct-wired pickup makes this axe a go-to weapon of choice on all recent Nile albums. The pickup is wired directly to the jack leaving the pure unadulterated tone of this incredible guitar to blaze unrestricted and unchained. It’s unique because not only is it a rare one-pickup V, but there are also NO KNOBS or knob holes or switches drilled into the beautiful maple top. USA Dean Custom V: This one-of-a-kind guitar was hand-made in the Dean custom shop in Tampa back when Dean Zelinsky was still building USA customs himself. On the new record I used this guitar for many of the rhythm tracks.Ġ3.

These 79 series V’s are war-horses I take them on tour all over the planet. Like all my guitars, the volume and tone knobs are bypassed yielding a much hotter and less cloudy tone. Dean 79 Series V: This guitar sports an incredible-for-the-price flame maple top, fully scalloped fretboard, brass nut, Seymour Duncan pickups and TonePros Bridge. Many of the leads on At The Gate of Sethu were tracked with this axe.Ġ2. This guitar screams with tone and articulation and rock-solid Panzer Tank stable tuning.

This gorgeous axe has maple neck thru, fully scalloped ebony fingerboard, mahogany body, and AAAAAA flamed maple top. Dean KS V7: Handmade Dean USA Custom Shop Signature Model.
