We found this cool video over at YouTube (courtesy Hugo Helmer Music) that shows Zakk Wylde’s performance at the Marshall NAMM booth. Several minutes of Zakk tearin’ it up solo on his Epiphone Graveyard Disciple. One of the greatest players of all time… sit back and enjoy!

We had a few dignitaries drop by Epiphone headquarters this afternoon. As you can see… they were traveling in style… but I can’t tell you who it was!
We’re working on an interview with the one-and-only Jo-El Sonnier this week. Jo-El has been the undisputed “King of Cajun” for the past 20 years and occupies a significant place in the rich artistic landscape of this country. He has toured with, recorded and written songs with just about anybody who is anybody in the music world… including Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson, Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, Elvis Costello, Hank Williams, Bob Dylan, Jerry Lee Lewis, George Jones… just to name a few. Can’t wait to get the interview posted… watch for it on www.epiphone.com in the very near future.
So this morning I was walking through the Epiphone showroom in Nashville and I caught this TBird Pro lounging on the infamous Red Epi Couch in all its Natural Oil beauty. I grabbed a few pics for your enjoyment.
And speaking of the TBird Pro… did you know that Epiphone.com is featuring these awesome basses on the homepage this month? You should really check them out. These basses are the real deal and present a remarkable value. You can learn all about them in the feature and there’s even a cool video demo by Chris Catero of Razer and Marty Friedman fame. Go there now…
