Firewind and Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Gus G has checked in with us from preparations for the Ozzy & Friends Summer European tour, where he’ll be performing as the main axeman in Ozzy’s band, with special guest appearances by Zakk Wylde, Slash and Geezer Butler.
Here’s his message to fans of Ozzy, Gus and Seymour Duncan:
“Hey everyone, I’m in L.A. at the moment rehearsing and getting ready for the “Ozzy & Friends” Summer European tour. I can’t wait to fire it up with my new Fire Blackouts pickups. They sound killer!
See you all out there!”
Gus has also sent us this sneak peek of his signature ESP guitars lined up and ready for action at rehearsals. If you look closely you’ll spot the distinctive graphics of the Gus G FIRE Blackouts.
