Topic: WHO IS ZAKK WYLDE

I think that he must be VERY IMPORTANT and HUGE in the USA, but I know a lot and I heard the name ONLY because of 3 guitars.
- Gibson Custom Shop Limited Run Zakk Wylde Bullseye Aged Les Paul Electric Guitar $7,999.99
- Gibson Custom Shop Zakk Wylde Signature Les Paul Electric Guitar - Bull's Eye $4,399.00
- Epiphone Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar Bulls-Eye $799.99 (which is quit expensive for an Epiphone).
If you see the customers ratings,
- The Gibson LP Limited version has 3 stars on 76 ratings which is very poor. Probably the buyers expected a lot more than the regular ZAKK WYLDE Gibson and are disappointed, so much money.
- The Gibson LP has 336 ratings and 4 1/2 stars
- The Epiphone LP 593 User Ratings, and 4 1/2  stars, a very high rate
As seen both Gibsons have EMG pick-ups an EMG 81 and an EMG 85
The Epiphone has EMG-HZ4 pick-ups.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EPIPHONE PICK-UPS and THE GIBSON PICK-UPS.

Probably there are a lot of Epiphones where the player removes the HZ4, by an 81 + 85 pick-up.
What can you tell me about this guy and the guitars?

    * Randy Rhoads (1979-1982)
    * Bernie Torme (1982)
    * Brad Gillis (1982)
    * Jake E. Lee (1982-1987)
    * Zakk Wylde (1987-1992, 1998, 2002-2004, 2006-present)
    * Steve Vai (1994-1995)
    * Alex Skolnick (1995)
    * Joe Holmes (1995-2001)

There isn't a name on that list that does not absolutely shred.

Someday we'll win this thing...

Re: WHO IS ZAKK WYLDE

I agree Zakk couldn't replace Randy but keep in mind they play totally different styles ... I love Zakk's "raw power in your face" playing
