    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!

    Surprisingly epiphone

    Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom Plus BullseyePublished on 07/29/11 at 02:42
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    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.

    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

    Signature model by Epiphone

    Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom Plus BullseyePublished on 07/07/11 at 19:01
    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 tim…

    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.

    Budget Zakk Wylde signature

    Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom Plus BullseyePublished on 06/23/11 at 08:59
    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.

    Epiphone is the official budget line of Gibson. Unlike Gibson guitars Epiphone guitars are made outside of America.

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.

    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

    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 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.

    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:)
