Zakk Wylde Shredneck - Bullseye

The SHREDNECK is designed to play and feel like the first 7 Frets of a guitar. The tuning machines used to adjust the string tension to accommodate different playing styles and situations (they are not used to tune the SHREDNECK). The fret spacing and neck width are modeled after the first seven frets of a standard electric guitar (or on the DREADNECK model the first 7 frets of an acoustic guitar).

You can work on lightning fast runs, finger movements, chords, percussive elements or simply warm up your hands in anticipation of playing guitar. Unlike hand exercisers which generally have been designed for therapeutic reasons (not to help improve your guitar playing skills) the SHREDNECK has been specifically designed to help you warm-up for gigs, develop your playing skills and maintain and build calluses.

The SHREDNECK/DREADNECK models are ideal for student use by guitar teachers and in schools when having a full size instrument is not convenient.

What can the SHREDNECK do for you?

The SHREDNECK will help you develop your playing skills, particularly your fingering and playing speed. Since the SHREDNECK uses real strings and frets, you will also develop calluses needed for playing. The SHREDNECK is also an ideal way to warm-up before playing or performing. You can also use the SHREDNECK to keep warmed-up between sets.

The SHREDNECK is not a hand exerciser; it is a practice and warm-up tool. We make no medical claims about this product or hand exercisers on the market as we are not doctors nor are we skilled in any way in any medical field. However, as life long guitar players we do feel the hand exercisers on the today’s music market were actually originally developed for therapeutic reasons, not to help guitar players improve their playing skills and dexterity. As a player you would want your hands and fingers to be limber and quick. Hand exercisers can build strength which we feel can actually slow you down and make it uncomfortable to play. The SHREDNECK is closest thing to playing guitar other than actually playing guitar!

Where and when to use the SHREDNECK.

The SHREDNECK can be used a many places where a guitar is not convenient. Take a break at the office, use it while watching TV, traveling on a plane or train or in a car, on the way to a gig, etc. etc.
