Dunno if this has been mentioned before but it's kinda interesting.
Mainly US involved I think but still.
For those NOT in the know.
A US company called .357 Choppers built Zakk Wylde a chopper.
Said US comapny then decided to do a promo for summit like, you pay us $130 and we will give you a gift certificate (in region of $100 or so) a diecast model of Zakks bike and (drum roll please) a Zakk Wylde Epi guitar!!!!!!!!!!
Too good to be true huh?
Opinions are still out.
Ship date was meant to be end of last month and now an excuse of "faulty EMG pickups" has been issued.
I DID not partake in this, just interesting watching it unfold.
Latest "deal" (from a Custom Chopper company mind you) is "buy a laptop and be in a Zakk Wylde .357 Commercial". Why the heck is a bike company pimping laptops? LOL
Sorry, just this is ALL too weird but starngely entertaining.
I have my opinions but as someone on this forum may have partaken in said "deals" will not go further at this point :twisted:
Just google 357 chopper and Zakk Wylde and be AMAZED :)
new deal;
"With the purchase of a 357 Electronics laptop computer, you will be IN
the new 357 Customs television commercial with Zakk Wylde!
We are going to limit the number of people in the commercial. This
number has not been decided yet, but the number will be decided soon.
These people will recieve a laminated pass to come down to 357
headquarters in Tennessee and appear in a full day shoot with Zakk Wylde for
the new 357 commercial!
If you happened to be one of the people who participated in, and got a
free Epiphone guitar from our last offer, you're encouraged to bring it
for the commercial, as you willl need your guitars strapped on! If you
have not recieved your guitar yet, they are now shipping again and you
will recieve yours in the next few weeks, wheather you take part in
this promotion or not.
This commercial will start to air in September. Commercial shoot date
is the 3rd week in August. The exact day will be determined in the next
couple weeks pending Zakk's schedule.
IN ADDITION, everyone who is in the commercial will be invited BACK to
Nashville in October for a PRIVATE BLACK LABEL SOCIETY CONCERT to be
held at the 357 Customs Headquarters! We will send you new lamintates for
this event, but it will be ONLY for the people who are in the
commercial. This concert will be held the 3rd week in October. The exact day
will be determined in the next couple weeks pending Zakk's schedule.
All computers sold before April 26 are PRE-ORDERS. this is a
PRE-ORDER offer, and the computers will be available for shipping by May
1. Customers who want to pick up their computers at 357 can do it the
