Zorlac question.
Zorlac question.
Looking at a Zorlac. All checks out but the neck is painted black, is that a thing? Were any of them from 84-89 painted?
Also the neck is a bit beefy, stark contrast to my KH2s, is this how they did it back than?
*Added pics below.
Now that you mention it, in the above photo it looks like there's no recess for the back end of the Schaller bridge where the fine tuners are (there's clearly a reflection if you zoom in). However in this photo you can see there's a recessed section for the OFR - different Zorlacs or just refinished with the recess?
There are several Zorlacs out there with painted necks from factory. Nothing to worry about there.
None were made in 1984 as far as I am aware of. The oldest one I have seen over the years was from around 1989 from memory.
Most of them I have seen are from 1990 and 1991.
I don't remember the neck being beefy though, pretty sure the neck on my 1990 Zorlac is pretty slim. But definitely different to the later Hammett guitars yes.
Definitely buy it if you can, they are somewhat rare guitars and very very cool to have in the collection man.
