All user reviews for the Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom Plus Bullseye

Everything was said. Very nice finish and weighs 3.6 pounds

USE

The handle is round, pleasant, well it slide: p, access to acute we like it or not, need to train a little but it is not death, the distribution of weight is good, etc. etc.

SONORITS

I play everything, I finally re edit my post.

- The zik style, I was somewhat ready with all styles, she is doing very well, although we s'clate with. I play Tonelab SE, and I really have a gro gro sound from the speakers (after a good adjustment Lab too) It shipment as I like.

7 note because it is not a guitar that dchire all (elev especially for its price) but personally I m'clate above, the principal is not it?

NOTICE GLOBAL

It must be six months that I play, I always m'clate as above, I dreamed of a Les Paul for the moment I have the zakk wylde, soon the standard gibs, you never know. I do not think resell thanks to its look (ca pleases or not).
The price quality ratio is a little way, it's still elev 850 new!

I bought it for 550 ocaz that price I would resume!

Chinese custom, it's a Les Paul so it's like a les paul, very good finish, well above the usual lot of rcentes Epiphones in terms of finish.

Frets fairly thin compared to freight monsters epi in general, comfortable and fast.

The neck is maple, unvarnished. Too weird at first but actually very pleasant to play, finer hair than the standard but hardly handle.

The neck is one pice on the length and head, only a reinforcement dpaisseur is added from the join with the box to add a centimeter dpaisseur that enters the body with the rest of the handle. It changes the epi inning head relates.

mcaniques under license grover, correct, the same way as llectronique.
The electronic deserves an upgrade, the knob could be more progressive and dfinis, but hey dj did very good job as ca.

SONORITS

I have absolutely nothing to fuck Zack Wilde, I find the cults of personality and completely dbiles Signature models as incongruous as the face of the said gentleman (I watched his mouth on the internet after s have bought the guitar, oh my god I have a signing that big thing dforme who plays Mtal horror !!!!! ...) I do not play non Mtal Moreover, the rather stonners atmosphriques stuff hovering or heavier or both, or alternatively, alternative indy.

I tried this guitar to dlirer surprise and I bought was doing all my prejudices.

Everything has to tell you that this is a good guitar.

EMG passive pickups are mconnus on the market. Metalheads their shit over because ... well it's not active ... so no prcis enough for their acrobatics distos, the sound is too open to their taste and too dark and muddy.

Non-metalheads normally do not play in EMG and EMG shit on because the only knowledge they have it is these active pickups fucking useless for anything other than the Mtal ....

The HZ4a is the passive version of the 85's is Alnico. This is hot enough and very powerful, serious, acute retains very good, open sound and can be dark, muddy or clear as rglages. Very good distortion and nice clear.

HZ4 the easel is the passive version of the 81, so ceramic. Grosse fishing, not cold, good bass and treble that does not ptent all ears as well.
I dteste treble pickups sour and frankly very pleasant surprise with that one. I dteste the ceramic pickups also for their cold coast in general, very good surprise too.


These microphones deserve the detour and this guitar can go vintage distortion has modern prcis of the draft

The palm mutes out very well, harmonic singing







NOTICE GLOBAL

rock, hard rock, metal, heavy blues are the grounds of predilection. It is rare to find such a versatile guitar sounds in large registries. Metal fans will be satisfied because the metal is frankly available in the palette of sounds and others may also find their account because the instrument is warm like a real Les Paul

she really badass side rock and roll sound American

The Gibson Les Paul cotent a fortune and lack of versatility, I find that the more open in terms of styles and widely playable at a studio or faded or better.

I highly recommend it to anyone who wants the versatile humbucker big sound and do not want a clear sound quality Fender Tele Custom kind or black top series.

UTILIZATION

pleasant handle and fast enough rapidemant vien .... maple with urethane coating affects sosewood .... .... ..... very smooth adjustment of its amazing!!

SOUNDS

very good guitar for metal but a little fiddling with the settings on my Marshall, I get sounds more rock!! very versatile ... very easy to get a zakk wylde has its also very simple obtain his or slahs has there raprochant much .... I play on a JCM900 4100 model plus a ibanez tube screamer overdrive sound ..... ranging from metalica and pantera .... . as mentioned above, no other sounds easily get into the settings and fiddling on Guitar and amp or pedal ..... I love the sound it produces metal .... I I purchased zakk wylde for sounded like and I what I wanted!!

OVERALL OPINION

I had a friend try during the fall of 2012 and I fell totally in love with this guitar .... I played dio, guns and roses, ozzy osbourne, pantera ... it lends itself perfectly has all these sound types ..... I made a choice knowing what I was buying and I would do this choice without hesitation aucunne!!

I wonder what a serve Him even more expensive to pay for a gibson epiphone made when the same work so well!!

photo come later!!

Epiphone LP Signature Series wylde bullseye color pattern in cream ...

22 frets rosewood handle.

Microwave passive EMG HZ (replaced by the active EMG Gibson LP Wylde Signature)

Fixed bridge type "STOP BAR"

UTILIZATION

The handle is D-shaped, rather round, which does not necessarily comfortable if you've never played on an Epiphone or gibson ... it's just a matter of habit!
In terms of weight, it's still reasonable, but it's a little lighter than a gibson.
The weight is really well distributed! In addition, she has a mouth of hell, I love the pattern Bullseye, the finish is really neat for a model in this range ...

However, having already played with EMG HZ pickups on my previous guitar, I've done it automatically mounted the active pickups the Gibson LP Signature wylde bullseye ...! And the result is simply stunning! Sustain, precision and power are waiting for you!
Of course, after use, do not forget to lower the volume to 0 of 2 microphones and not let the jack plugged in, otherwise the battery wears out faster ...
The battery access is easy, a breeze ... a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew 4 screws, and voila!

SOUNDS

This guitar is made to play the fat! It is very typical metal in this configuration! Harmonics will hiss at all! I suggest you climb ropes 10-60 Manufacturer Dunlop Wylde Signature if you change tuning and often if you frequently play a tone lower (DGCFAD)! it's a real treat!

This guitar really good performance tuning despite mechanical effective but basic.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been three years that soon I, and I do not regret this choice! I do it again with your eyes closed!
I had the opportunity to try two other models before buying it ..

The value for money is really correct, especially since I bought it shortly after its release ... Now, with the original passive pickups, you'll find it for just under € 700 .. new

In short if you still hesitate, this is bad because you lose time not to enjoy now! A great guitar but get it in 10-60 strings!

OVERALL OPINION

A very high quality guitar (and finish)
only problem in history epiphone does not follow the production
average time = 3 months to get this jewelry

It is manufactured in Kore, but valid for epiphone States.
22 frets, EMG HZ passive pickups (unfortunately) but no parasites excelente quality, ragisse IMMEDIATE brings out the attacks of mtiator. There are three mic positions, for serious rhythm split both pickups and treble for solos (including deposits grave: the harmonic whistles defile his game without force, a real treat).
Fixed bridge in gilding.
4 buttons: 2 volumes and 2 tones.
Maple neck, c of the solid.

UTILIZATION

The handle is quite rounded, not exstase for small hands but otherwise a c rgales to play it.
Access to treble is very well, easily accessible.
Since lespaul in general, it weighs weight, but the sound is even better. It actually quite heavy but after that is a matter of habit.
Ds the first connection you are amazed by the sound that comes from this little epiphone.
It's a real pleasure to play on, the sound is warm with excellent sustain, is of great precision, the EMG HZ's trs good, too prcis as active EMG (a possdant Zaccur a 333 kit WAHBURN signature DIMES) gains with less output but this is an excellent level.

SOUNDS

For the momment I too used to the styles for mtal DIFFERENT but this seems appropriate, big sound with the microphone grave, the body of the Les paul gives excellent sustain and a big sound very heavy. For the rest I think it's a guitar trs versatile, it adapts to any style.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently so I may come back to change my opinion but is unlikely.
What I like first of all about her is her style, I love the shape LES PAUL and the more I am a huge fan of Zakk Wylde so I found my happiness.
For the report made quality, I would say that it is uncompromising, have a nice guitar trs (COD moii must love I'm a fan so ...) a great violin, excellent microphone for less than 1000 is happiness.

Guitar made by kore, but as I have read from Zakk Wylde "I Will not put my name on a piece of shit."
This is a Les Paul with its advantages and disadvantages (which is nothing new). Access to acute acoutumance requires some, but you get done quickly. The body is a single piece of mahogany (not the infamous sandwitch alder / mahogany other Epi)
The pickups are EMG HZ, who very promptly pleasantly surprised. As against the knobs are crap, they spat at the end of two months. Nothing serious, just change them.
The guitar was perfectly set, but I took it all to accommodate my tastes.
The finish is good, the neck and the frets are well finished, there are some missed in the body, but it must look closely to perceive it.
The look is excellent, still has work to not look ridiculous!

UTILIZATION

The handle is big, but very comfortable. It's bigger than a type 60 and thinner than type 50.
For sounds, original they are very hot, surprising for the EMG.
I did a little mod, very simple. After the information on the site of EMG, I removed the pickups (super simple, thanks to the connectors) and myself appercu one thing. The micro acute an H4A (alnico), is actually a 85 a liability and serious, a H4 (ceramic), is a passive 81. I reversed the two for the H4 and H4A in acute severe. The cofiguration is an exact replica in passive assembly active. I do not really understand the purpose of this "inversion" of origin, because for once, the harmonics are best given in the acute, with much more precision and speed passages for fat (thank you magnet ceramic), and the microphones gets much more serious soft (typical alnico).
The sound is perfect as this, and even closer to our loved Zakk.

SOUNDS

Plugged into my 30 "birthday, it's a mythical couple is together. The sound is typed gibson, and Angus Zakk, everything is possible without denote. Crunches are a little hard, but are very precise, same for the clean. In all thoroughly, the beast awakens, the vibrato is monstrous, whistled harmonics you take a walk back from hell. Close your eyes and you imagine Ozzy jumping everywhere.
Remains to invest in a blonde wig ....

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year and a half and is dejenu my main guitar, before a Supreme Lag The Beast, however excellent. I can finally make arpeggios that rings true (the default big floyd), vibrato, well, finally, it is not much, and with it comes a work without it. In addition to the guitar is given no matter what (except when the strings are new, obviously).
The price / quality ratio and excellent. I do not regret my purchase, and do it again without problems.

Les Paul guitar shape, model 'Bullseye' of Zakk Wylde.
Look very aggressive (I), the weight of a Les Paul
EMG HZ passive pickups
Chrome hardware the most beautiful effect

UTILIZATION

The handle is very comfortable and can play fast with great precision. It is not too large (but subjective).
For access to acute and weight .. good, well it's a Les Paul .. we know what to expect
As for sound: Good! The pickups with teeth ... The harmonics do well .. It's fishing!

SOUNDS

The original EMG HZ (passive copies of EMG 81 and 85) not sound too bad .. But I must admit that my first purchase after this guitar has a t Zakk Wylde EMG Kit (81 & 85) .. And l.. The difference with the Gibson signature ZW becomes downright minimal .. The sound becomes more awful lot! AC fuse, ca spits, yells ca ...

The clean sounds are not to be outdone, very clean, has both round and precise .. Easily modified with a small round knob!

It has become my favorite guitar! by far!

OVERALL OPINION

For about 1000Euros. I have an absolutely sublime guitar, which sounds of thunder! In short, the foot!
I do it again this choice in a heartbeat!

No need to remake a screed 3km. Other descriptions are fairly clear.
Basic Les Paul Custom Epiphone home then, with the weight of this classic instrument.
Lutherie impeccable finishes are exemplary.
Originally: 2 EMG HZ passive humbuckers (H4 at the bridge - the equivalent of EMG81 in liabilities) and H4-A to the handle.
1 and Vol Set Tone for micro.
The look is fabulous. Others find the "psychic", which means ... But big fan of Zakk Wylde, I conquered! A beautiful model affordable compared to Gibson in his signature that passes the threshold of 5000 euros!

UTILIZATION

It's been 18 years since I played. This is my second electric guitar (with an old Gibson SG as actually more!).
This instrument is a very good comfort. Side access to acute bah is the Les Paul. We must therefore get used to it (compared to the SG with cut sides offer maximum opportunities on this side). I usually play about 10-46 games of rope, but went down there at the Custom lite (9-46) to draw in sharp bends more easily!
Note: this guitar has excellent sustain.

SOUNDS

This guitar is versatile enough after all. Blues, heavy rock, metal, jazzy sounds, anything goes.
A good razor micro bridge and neck pickup in the round.
The EMG HZ pickups are a good but I made it for my taste but lack of some teeth in distortion (compared to the couple Gibson / Di Marzio my SG on my Vox AD50VT amp).
So I bought a kit and assembled active EMG Zakk Wylde (81 in bridge and 85 in neck) and there ... Nothing to do. There really before and after! Harmonic richness, potato crazy. It really spits while keeping a good versatility for different styles (the profile of the guitar is still resolutely rock / metal). My rating is the config with EMG active!

OVERALL OPINION

I have this guitar for 2 weeks. I alternate with my SG. It's two worlds.
The ZW Les Paul is a very good instrument, with a sacred finish. However, the original passive pickups have a little trouble in saturation (it is very dry). I therefore advise an investment asset. The couple EMG 81-85 wonders but I guess two 81 or 81 (bridge) + a 60 (neck) also do the trick depending on the desired sound.
Note: I changed, wired and welded myself ZW micro kit. No worries! For the attention of those concerned, EMG has thought of everything in the box: cables, knobs, jack. It is pre-wired and son are already tinned for soldering! A word.
Less than 1000 euros, deposit vraiment.Je guitar would do this choice without any hesitation!

Everything has been said Paravant. It is a beautiful Korean and mine is camouflage finish ... Superb ...

UTILIZATION

The handle is very nice, hand gliding above, and its natural place it either in academic position with the thumb on top.
Access to acute is correct, it is a Les Paul on the other hand as it is not too heavy (I was heavier!) We can easily adjust the handle (the guitar!?!) and have easier access.
For sound, despite the fact that the microphones have been widely decried bin there are quite polyvalentmais we will come back later ...
So RAS beautiful guitar ...

SOUNDS

Being eclectic in music I had a guitar too "specialized" and I must say I'm satisfied.
Those who found metal type I wonder if they know the use of 4 knobs on the guitar?!
Playing with the volumes (especially for the intermediate position as the microphone is much more acute than the beefy serious he takes the sound to the treble volume so suddenly and we get a good sound usual Les Paul) and the tones we realize that the mics are versatile.
The serious and AlNiCo a softer, more typed "PAF" and treble, ceramic, has all the potatoes that you ask a micro Lead.
This is also very nice because having spent the neck pickup to bridge mic allows for a very nice boost p'tit.
They are silent.
Then it's on the EMG and specializes in the active pickups but to say that they are passive pickups are rotten qd same way!
I had a scratch with Kent Armstrong N12 and Motherbucker bin was less good, and the Motherbucker fai "girl" next to the bridge that Zakk Wylde!
So to the supporters of the activity change your ben mics, but for others they are good the damn microphone!

OVERALL OPINION

I for a week, and although I do plaizeeee
She is super nice, and especially in a nice aesthetic.
I think it's a good scratch, which to a good level of finish (all the Epiphone did not finish deplorable), solid wood, with good microphones ...
I do not ask anything more!
I m with I Love Her .... I think you would have understood!

UTILIZATION

The handle is enjoyable .. trs I personally think it's a tree trunk split in two .. ahaha but also a big hand than mine, it is perfect ... APRS is the Saddle ... it's slippery. I as well as the rhythmic shred on this guitar.

Regarding Access in aigux, bah is a Les Paul ... pretty boring but you get done ...

The weight of the bte embtant enough when playing standing lontemps .. j'commence a sore shoulder at the end of three hours but otherwise the guitar is very well balance.

I put 9 for weight ... for the APRS fte of music I had the shoulder hurt too ..

SOUNDS

With this guitar, I play a little bit of everything even if it's still a guitar for metal or heavy riff has the black label society .. Manir achte any one not to make this guitar blues ^ ^

Its clear: good bah is not the sound .. FENDER normal but with a TC G major it sounds great. It happens really nice sound by adding a lot of effect.

Drive sound is the highlight of this guitar .. Personal I use the bridge pickup for rhythm and the neck pickup for solos, it sounds fabulous.

I use it with a laney 100 watt hybrid and a TC electronic G major, and you get really great sounds.
I also test on a Marshall 100 watt all-tube .. then .. simply beautiful .. trs sound prcis whether rhythm or solo, not even need to change the settings, plug and ring.

I put 8 for the lack of versatility of this guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 1 year

What I like most:
Design, sound prcis EMG pickups and the neck .. really enjoyable.

What I like least:
The mcaniques .. the "truk" or plug the jack starts to dvisser more often.
I would add that the strings, bend After a few small, tend to dsaccorder easily ...

It remains all the same a good guitar
The report price is not bad quality, especially for a MODL signature j'mattendais worse.
I would do this choice.

SOUNDS

It's perfect in my cot Southern hard rock, metal
Then I played on jcm 2000 tsl 100 amp perfect for the back or ozzy black label society are super fat and enorment present clean and nothing to say

OVERALL OPINION

I use the 2 years it will make the most is that in fact all bah less is that when you buy the book is that she bah fight in the box because the cardboard and a custom signature c uncool I is incredibly expensive but I assume a c c a signature guitar to be participation by Zakk Wylde but also the epiphone is close to the gibson except that the Gibson Zakk Wylde vo 5000 more expensive even as sweet is the sound of microphones asset j if I find anything of the gibson extraordinnaire keep so much money for a guitar is more personal

I would do my choice for the buzzsaw I find most beautiful is less household communications

See more advice ...

UTILIZATION

The neck is very thick and very Reche you really love or be used, for my part I have trouble especially ue is much easier on other LP ...
Access to acute is not so easy to hand the set neck LP ...
This guitar is very heavy in terms of form there is no problem to play standing or sitting. Lequilibre seems still manageable ..
For sound just connect the woods are doing rather well but the pickups are a little weak and in dire need of dynamic, almost the same for the heat ...
A big plus point for me is the place where the selector is placed (ie the top of the body) which is very practical ...

SOUNDS

It suits my music style metal type on paper but seems quite versatile in the clear as distortion, except it seems to me too heavy and warm ...
I tested it on a Fender amp with built-in effects and ca tro not already sounded bad but on the AC neutral may be a little way ...
The interest of the knobs is to adjust each microphone volume and tone which can allow things nice
The pickups sound a little cold but it's true with a good amplifier and then AC can offset this are not active pickups and if deemed not

OVERALL OPINION

I tested it in stores a little while and I admit I was very disappointed in the lack of comfort offered by this guitar, I would never buy a guitar with a neck so thick (but a Les Paul standard yes) if not for the rest I was pleased at finishing ...
I tested several brands and I must say that for the LP forms I would tend to ESP / LTD LP beneficially or because they are lighter and have thinner handles leus
The price / quality ratio is very average to the extent that we pay a lot of Zakk's name since we end up with passive EMG for 800 euros which is very questionable and after the handle is a bit hard ...
If I had money I do not buy it because for the same price you can get better microphones and even to level the wood and then, for me, comfort is absent with the scraper

See the other view, otherwise I had directly with the ale kit EMG Zakk Wylde active, so the sound will be reviewed solely on these criteria

UTILIZATION

The neck is slightly thinner than a Les Paul Standard, which I like, but a good round is not forcment a handle end!

I really do not understand how we dare say that with a Zakk Wylde can do jazz, totally beyond me!
the sound is warm but a cold saturated Relentless clear or crunch.
arrter that it is imperative that the urban lgrende Zakk Wylde can do anything, it's true arch!

empty, the sound already sounds very hollow in the mids, the EMG active rajoutent spirit very metal, making it 100% a guitar cohrente, implacable!

frankly for the metal, AC disconnects!

OVERALL OPINION

Excellent guitar emg active config!
microphones and violin in perfect harmony, we are in a real signature model, which really other than a Intrets marqueting
800 euros frankly with HZ pickups I think it is not too bad a price etr
the violin is perfect (sound was very empty metal guides, That's good!)
if you add 150 or 200 euros for active pickups ca us of 1000 euros, and that price I would do without hsitation!
(My having had for 650 with Gibson flight case and strap lock dunlop, ah qd stroke of luck you hold us!)
qd we see that the model gibson costs 4 to 5 times more expensive, has less to be bl pt I do not know if it's worth it.

(C gibson's a little different, because the sound jumps the guitar, the violin has to be largely improved, but the overall sound CHARACTERISTICS are the same)

run to buy it, run to buy the kit emg active, run to your luthier, run, run, run!!
this guitar is a killer!

UTILIZATION

The handle, a bit wide, trs is taken well in hand, Access in acute is rather impressive beginners but if done quickly
we do not forget it is a form les paul
weight is rsonnable I find, unlike what people say

I think we will get a big sound forcment and the use o no ser only for metal but not at all

SOUNDS

In saturation, biensur, when playing in the bass, the sound reflte the personality of the guitar but it is perfect for rock
in clean, sound is not audible but quite satisfactory. by making the switch to a lowering intermdiaire had the bridge pickup volume, we get a nice little sound that goes well and trs that makes you want to play more often in the clear

many say the price is excessive, I personally think it's a good quality trs price, go find a guitar that is so versatile, with a devastating look, and still more the signature of Mr. Zakk Wylde was the price the

Cf: other posts

UTILIZATION

I tested this guitar with a friend. N'tant not a regular gibson or epiphone, I did gure held rglages, I can not say too much if it is not easy o this ct.

Moreover, it is certainly a good guitar trs. Comfortable, although heavy (like any LP), relatively comfortable in any position (although my Ibanez ct, was sitting comfort misreux matter xD), trs good balance, it absolutely does not move when playing quietly and the rest o it was put.

The handle: enjoyable trs, trs instinctive. I am used to big sleeves Bourin typ highway with surleves frets, well I must say that I still had that handle IMMEDIATE hand, no problem to send potatoes in every sense, has come alone.

Access in acute: bah, it's an LP that, the end of the handle is thick and trs trs recessed but with large hands (like me), has passed without problem.

SOUNDS

So the slap. I knew of EMG active pickups for his barbaric (which I favor ^ ^), then I must say that the HZ-H4 passive absolutely convinced me.
We pass allgrement clear sound nice (although rather unusual, it's true it's not the gibson 498), a crunch round and warm (I think)
Distos for large, well no secret, it's specially for emg.
But these liabilities are not limited. They REALLY can reach absolutely every style.
My buddy just purchased this guitar because he loved her (he plays the blues rock) and also the reason pout, and Zakk Wylde did not know before discovering the guitar (and thus no influence of c t to purchase)
He leaves continuously in all styles and guitar followed without hesitation, that it gives the sound a DSIR period.
It is a little mushy at times, but I have heard that a low-end amp and a few minutes on my Marshall, but I find that instead of pushing as is the case with emg active, a here gives a warmth and a ct vintage sound.

OVERALL OPINION

My friend has been six months and told me clearly that he intends to resume the same when it will make me.

At this price, even without floyd, there are relatively few quality of this guitar. the violin is more than satisfactory, the sound is impeccable, the Resistors at all is satisfactory, the handle is a rgal ...

a true wonder for guitarists who want a versatile guitar look fabulous at low prices

I think, makes in an Asian country is being "custom shop" behind the head

The Epiphone Les Paul Zakk Wylde edition is meant to be a lower priced alternative to his famed Gibson signature model that sells for several thousand dollars new. It has a lot of the same (or very similar) appointments to his Gibson Custom Shop model. The most notable thing about it is its iconic bullseye white and black finish. This is something that Zakk popularized and it's fairly unique to his brand. Other than the cosmetics, it's basically your standard Les Paul Custom '70s reissue. It has a mahogany body, a maple neck with rosewood fretboard and 22 frets, Grover tuners, tune-o-matic bridge, EMG HZ pickups and a typical Les Paul layout as far as the controls go. They're made in one of Epi's various overseas factories depending on what year you have.

UTILIZATION

The guitar is really no more or less ergonomic than a standard Les Paul guitar. It's medium to heavy weight and somewhat clunky neck heel may be a turn off for some players who are used to superstrat type guitars. It's got reasonable upper fret access for a Les Paul, but it's still nowhere near the left of something like an Ibanez or Jackson in that department.

Getting a good sound out of this guitar isn't difficult if you play metal styles. The EMG pickups aren't very versatile and the mahogany/maple wood combo really doesn't work for more vintage textures, so if you're doing the high gain thing like Zakk does, you're set. The pickups sound like a reasonable facsimile of EMGs, but they're a tad muddier and more compressed, which is a bit of a drag.

SOUNDS

This guitar unfortunately is a bit of a one trick pony as far as its sounds go. The clean and low gain tones are not really a strong point of this guitar. The pickups are too compressed and high output to really allow the subtle dynamics that make a good clean tone to come through on any level. The high gain tones delivered are decent for heavy metal - they're fairly tight and aggressive and work well for palm muted riffs, pinch harmonics or fast alternate picked lead passages. The pickups aren't quite as good sounding as real EMGs or Seymour Duncan Blackouts, but they do a decent enough job I suppose. It's not really versatile, but for the high octane metal thing it does a decent job.

OVERALL OPINION

All in all I think the Epi Zakk Wylde is a decent guitar for a younger player or someone looking for a decent Les Paul to play metal on for not a lot of money. If you aren't a fan of the bullseye white and black scheme Zakk has done a few other designs over the years with varying cosmetics. These run about $800 new which isn't too bad a deal for this guitar, but really it's only worth it if you're playing metal or you're a diehard ZW fan.

Zakk Wylde has been one of Gibson's more famous artists. He's had tons of different signature models throughout the years, but this is Epiphone's take on his most famous model. It has a mahogany body with a maple top, a set maple neck with a rosewood fretboard and trapezoid inlays, 22 frets, binding all around, tune-o-matic bridge, two humbuckers, two volumes, two tones and a three way switch.

UTILIZATION

The first thing you always notice with this guitar is that it has a pretty outrageous paintjob. The paintjob on this was surprisingly almost as good as the actual Gibson version. I saw a few bleed marks, but they were extremely minor, and you'd really have to take a lot of time to look for them. The fretwork on this guitar was iffy. There were some low frets that needed attention, and you start to notice it once you lower the action. The nut was cut decently, so that wasn't a huge deal. Aside from that, it's basically a standard Les Paul.

SOUNDS

The guitar didn't sound as good as the original version, and there are a few reasons for that. First of all, these are EMG HZ pickups. The HZ pickups are passive pickups that don't really sound like a real EMG. I believe Alexi Laiho uses these, but they're really not the best pickups out there, IMO. The bridge pickup did sound similar to an EMG 81, but the neck pickup wasn't really my thing for whatever reason. If you convert these to real EMGs, be sure to disconnect the bridge ground.

OVERALL OPINION

The guitar could use a pickup swap and an ebony fretboard. Aside from that, it's pretty close to the original one. Considering that the actual Zakk Wylde costs a fortune, this could be a decent alternative. However, pay attention to things like fretwork and how nicely the nut is cut. Play a few and see how you like them.

Epiphone is the official budget line of Gibson. Unlike Gibson guitars Epiphone guitars are made outside of America. Since they are official copies they have the exact same shape as the Gibson guitars do. This is the Epiphone version of the Zakk Wylde Les Paul custom. The main difference with this guitar is the electronics and some of the wood selection. The guitar still has a mahogany body and a maple neck but the fretboard is made of rosewood instead of ebony. The electronics are still EMG pickups but they are not active EMG's. They are EMG's budget line of passive pickups which are pretty poor but better than what this guitar would have come with. The guitar has Zakks Bullseye motif and after all these mods it is your typical Epiphone Les Paul. Each pickup has its own tone and volume control and there is a 3 way switch for your pickup selecting.

UTILIZATION

This guitar plays like any other Epiphone Les Paul. Other than the raw back of the neck this guitar is a pretty standard Epiphone. The raw neck helps make the neck a bit faster because with a finished neck you can get a sticky feel. If you are use to modern guitars with thin necks the Les Paul neck will be very big for you. Because of the set neck design there is a large neck tenon and joint. This can make the upper frets hard for some people to reach because the body essentially joins the neck at the 17th fret. After the 17th fret you are reaching around the body to get to the frets. The tuning stability is good because there is no tremolo. The quality of hardware Epiphone uses is not that great. I have had problems with the input jack unscrewing itself and things like that.

SOUNDS

This guitar does not really sound like the Gibson Zakk Wylde Custom but it sounds better than a normal Epiphone Les Paul. The passive pickups are built to emulate the tone of the 81 and the 85 but it just doesnt quite get there. The bridge pickup is tight like an 81 but it doesnt quite have the same top end sizzle as a real 81. The neck pickup is closer to the active version than the bridge. The 85 naturally has a warmer more passive sound so the passive version does not differ much in the sound department. Since these pickups are EMG's they have the quick connect wiring system so you can easily swap these pickups out with a set of active EMG's when you get the chance and this guitar will really rip then.

OVERALL OPINION

The Gibson Les Paul Zakk Wylde Custom is pretty outrageously priced. This guitar is very reasonably priced with only a few differences. With a 200 dollar pickup swap you will have pretty much the same guitar as the Gibson for thousands less. If you are a Zakk Wylde fan and cant justify playing thousands of dollars for a Les Paul Custom this Epiphone is a good option.

made in china, classic easel, it is version comouflée. the handle is not screwed but it seems sticky resin, 22 button, 2 humbucking passive, 2 tone 2 volume 1 selector switch number 3 position.

UTILIZATION

nice handle, access to acute correct, the setting is simple and even its simplicity, to have several different sounds and even effects pedal or amp, but the guitar itself does not offer a big pannel

SOUNDS

I use an ibanez valbee top (lamps) by relying on the amp j'aubtient a good crunch and a clear sound and a nice metal sound funny.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month I use it the more I like ... I also play with a ibanez roadmaster series 2 and a Ibanez Artcore AFS95TMBU TREMOLO BLUE TRANSPARENT. The only annoying thing is the lack of bar distortion, but we made it. This is a guitar that asked me a bit of time for me aproprier really but I find very endearing.

I will not repeat
I reminds jsute even finish of this guitar are truly magical for this small price.

UTILIZATION

This guitar and heavy for my taste and too high but good middle epiphone violin is not a madman's sattendre furiously 2500/3000 was € logic!
the handle and forcing large enough to play with the guitar a little higher AC can seem weird at first but it has done its handle sy wide.


SOUNDS

Sound level I'm up in emg 81/85 and I think what has nothing else to envy as the guitar gibson lp studio
if we know the set is obtained from very good clean sound and distortion just as nice
I play mostly metal and I did some walking around with it and honetment shipping! The sweeping will be a little harder on my high frete cest drawback of the LP form, but we gain neck pickup delivers a beautiful roundness.
You Fassier ballads, blues, rock, metal this guitar will do that Laffaire and good value for money.
Cepeda if you made the big drop metalcore Do or Drop If careful with pulling the handle as hard as a wholesale agreement cest and twists leaving room has ptite frisouille the notes: /

OVERALL OPINION

I been using it for 2 years now and this guitar has great value for me because a tight budget, lupgrader in emg active, I dun raproche his true lasting til I can gather enough money to make men do: p
it is on this guitar and a real gem but it should not forgetting cest small defect
violin too pull the top middle handle, ignoring the big rope pulling his weight.
if I have to redo this choice I n'esiterai not one second, because despite the default I think it sent the gibson lp studio as we gain by taking this money epiphone better finish and lightweight small defect can be prevented by good EQ
