Zakk Wylde

In this image, Wylde can be seen preforming with Dunlop Tortex Pitch Black 1.14s, five can be seen taped to the bottom bout of his guitar aswell as eight on is mic stand.

Zakk has been wearing Red Monkey gear since 1995 including Leather vests, Leather Cuffs and Guitar Straps

According to the Jim Dunlop Artists website, Zakk Wylde uses Dunlop Ultex Sharp 1.0mm Guitar Picks, as stated: "Zakk uses his signature Zakk Wylde String Lab Acoustic and Electric Strings, the Wylde Audio pedal series, and Ultex® Sharp 1.0mm Picks."

A photograph available on eBay provides confirmation from Dunlop that Zakk Wylde uses Dunlop Tortex Standard 1.0mm Guitar Picks, rather than the 1.14mm variant. Additionally, a guitar pick purchased from his 2005 tour further substantiates that he was using the 1.0mm picks, as opposed to the previously listed 1.14mm.

Zakk Wylde has been a cornerstone Red Monkey artist since the early days, with a relationship that traces back to his Pride & Glory era and a chance meeting with founder Torry Pendergrass in Laurel Canyon in 1996.

Since then, Red Monkey has been building Zakk’s signature leather pieces—including guitar straps, stage-worn vests, and leather cuffs—forming a core part of his unmistakable look both on and off stage. Designed for durability and presence, these pieces are built to handle his aggressive playing style and relentless touring schedule.

Seen across decades of performances with Black Label Society and beyond, this gear is not a one-off or styled placement—it’s part of Zakk’s identity. This is a true long-term collaboration, rooted in craftsmanship, trust, and a shared rock ’n’ roll DNA that’s been going strong for nearly three decades.
