Best Les Paul to Own

Posted by zakkfan from Northern Michigan on Dec 23, 2009

I have had 6 different Les Pauls and this one is by far the best, it is a high end, high quality piece. Not just for hangning on the wall, this thing rocks. It plays super smooth, the finish is incredible and it delivers what you expect. Don't take the reviews from those who don't actually own it, you owe it to yourself to actually by one and experience it for more than 2 minutes in a store or see it in an ad form an opinion. I have had this for a year now and love as much or more than when i bought it.

Gibson Custom Zakk Wylde Signature Les Paul

I am in the lucky position of owning two of these guitars. A secondhand one from the first year and another new one from 2008. In terms of quality and playability they are the same. The older one feeling more played in but the newer one being more precise in terms of set up. The best way to describe the difference in sound between the EMGs and passive humbuckers is to say that it's like the sound you get when you change an old dull set of strings on your guitar to a new set. The whole sound brightens up and is more responsive. I am a Zakk nut so the paint job is exactly what I want. It isn't to everyones taste though and I am certain there are a lot of LP players out there who have overlooked this guitar because of the bullseye paint. All I can say is try one and make your own mind up. Zakk himself has said he has had the pick of les pauls 59's the lot but he prefers his every time. I have to say I agree 100% with this. The prices here in the UK are high at the minute with second hand ones rarely seen. My advice is if you want the best les paul sound available then dig deep and get your hands on one of these. I am hoping that at some point Gibson make a repro of the confederate LP that Zakk uses. Come on Gibson I am sure it would sell!

not worth the money

I own the epiphone zakk wylde les paul and put EMG 81 and 85s in it. It plays great. I went to the gibson custom shop in memphis and decided to play the Gibson version. Other than a slightly lighter colored paint job, it was exactly the same as my epiphone. The guitars sounded exactly the same in terms of sound quality and playability. unless your a gibson collector or die hard fan of zakk wylde, I would reccomend getting the epiphone version and having active EMG 81s and 85s installed, because getting this guitar would be a waste of money.

The pickups are amazing, sound is amazing, feel is amazing. The toggle switch will break after awhile but its easy to replace and no big deal. It is just probably the nicest guitar i have ever had the pleasure to play

This is guitar is amazing. Its definitely the best I own or will ever own. The humbuckers aren't my favorite for my style of playing, but they are still amazing for those of us who want to play hard rock; cause this is what this guitar is made for. The paintjob on all of Wylde's guitars have always drawn me to them. If your looking for an amazing guitar, and have the money, or just looking for something to spice up your room, I highly suggest the Gibson Custom Shop Zakk Wylde Signature Les Paul Electric Guitar.
