Maybe you've lusted after Gibson's Zakk Wylde signature model but lacked the cash to buy one. Well, here's the Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar, a more affordable alternative. It's equipped with sizzling USA EMG HZ- H4 and H4A humbuckers, glorious gold hardware, mahogany body wood, hard maple set neck with rosewood fretboard, and Zakk's signature bull's-eye paint job. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and LockTone stopbar tailpiece add more sustain and make string changing a breeze.

EMG HZ-H4
Combining the power of active EMG-81 with the soul of a passive PAF, the tone is well balanced, with tight bass, glassy mids, and crunchy highs. These great tonal features are achieved by utilizing over wound coils loaded with ceramic bar magnets, all fully shielded for minimal noise. In the bridge position, the H4 shines with excellent range, responsiveness and sweet harmonics, perfect for a big rock or heavy modern sound.

EMG HZ-H4A
Endowed with warmth, body and clarity, the H4A is a very versatile pickup and is perfect for everything from blues to rock to metal. The tone is very well-balanced, with solid bass, pronounced mids, and fat highs. These great tonal features are achieved by utilizing vintage wound coils loaded with Alnico V bar magnets, all fully shielded for minimal noise. The H4A in the neck position, with its cousin, the H4, offers a perfect balance of tones. The H4A shines with superb clarity, full body, and delicate responsiveness which will suit almost any style or mood.

This guitar is pretty damn guitar. It was my first after a Fender Starcaster. I have had this for about 2 years.. and now the knobs are beginning to fall off, as well as the paint. The pickups are very bad, so they def. need to be changed. I find them fuzzy. For this guitar, you are mainly paying fot the paint job, you can def. find something better at this price range

The greatness of this guitar us undeniable. the second this guitar touched my hands, it felt slim and beautiful, the fact that the neck is not painted helps you move your hands faster.

Only some complaints. The guitar plays beautifully, but when you plug in to the jack, you could sometimes hear feedback.

The incredible playability outruns some of my friend Gibsons, most of which the studio model.

Overall great guitar, I have perfomed with it for about 9 shows, it makes a great sound.

I played this guitar at my local store and i gotta say it is perfect. People complain about les paul weight i personally like it. You get more tone. the pickups are reeaally nice for passives. I really dig the bulls-eye graphic and the maple neck is EXTREMLY FAST. The finish feels oiled. I plan to buy one in the new year and i suggest you pick one up if you wanna go WYLDE

I always wanted a Zakk Wylde Les Paul but there is no way I'm paying 6000 bucks for any guitar just because it has Gibson on the headstock! I got a great deal on this and had the EMG 81 and 85 installed and I cannot put it down! I have played the Gibson version and I'm telling you there is not enough difference to warrent paying for the name. I use this live on almost a weekly basis and it just rips! I do all our drop C tunes with it and it is just effortless to play. I want the camo and the buzzsaw now! The neck fits my hand perfect and it stays in tune no matter what.And I like the weight and feel.The on reason I gave it a 4.5 overall is because I wish it came with the active pickups.

This guitar will blow your mind

Ok. So I bought this guitar last year because I wanted a guitar for metal/hardcore stuff. I had bough a standard Epi Les Paul the previous year but I still wanted something a little heavier. I was not let down at all. Do NOT believe anything bad about this guitar. Just play it first and make your own assumptions. The neck has an unfinished paint job, but it actually makes it more playable then the regular paint on normal Les Pauls. the action is perfect. The Grover tuners keep it in tune nicely. Now, about the pickups. IN NO WAY DO THESE PICKUPS SOUND TERRIBLE OR UNCLEAR. They are actually amazing. As said before, I would maybe suggest putting 81/85's in there later but it is not needed right away. These pickups are fine. I've played many gigs with this thing for the year I've had it and I'm nothing but thrilled with it. It's held up against the best. Definitely recommended.
