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.
