Finally some Les Pauls from Zakk, not SG/V hybrids, nor coffin shapes

The new Zakk Wylde Gibson USA BFG Guitar embodies the mammoth tone and over-the-top rock attitude of its name sake and offers all the equipment necessary to undertake your own scorched-earth attack on your local music scene. It features a rough-hewn book matched maple top, a rounded '50s spec neck with ebony fingerboard, sizzling EMG 81 and 85 humbucking pickups all approved by Zakk Wylde himself. The guitar comes in two Zakk-certified finishes to choose from, a Bullseye graphic or Buzzsaw graphic over a satin natural nitro finish all produced by the world’s most famous guitar manufacturer, Gibson USA.

Cool guitar!

Wow, it looks cool! I check out some video reviews of the older Zakk Wylde signature models on youtube and they sounds awesome! I wonder how this one sounds like....

 

[predz23]

whats the damage to the wallet like?

Since they're Gibson BFG's not les paul standards or customs, the damage to your wallet will be less, but there will still be damage, but I'm guessing they're probably 500 bucks more expensive then the standard BFG's

It looks worth it. Fret inlays and EMGS haha

IMO, that is one ugly guitar. Wait, make that two.

heres a real life picture

notice how they're whiter and more woody and grainy, the bullseye especially looks sexier baring more wood

To me, if guitars were babies, the Zakk Wylde LPs have looks that only a mother could love.

 

[nabeelmashren]

so it's a Gibson BFG with add-ons la basically. imo, they should've kept the wooden knobs, and not those new black ones.

Cant find a good close up on the headstock.Just wondering what they've inlayed there.

Overall the buzzsaw looks great.They should come up with more colour schemes cause the choices dont look that exciting.

 

[Ized]

Looks awesome. I would rather buy this than a standard.....

the coffin guitar looks wrong, in front of zakk.

 

[predz23]

It better not be full maple like the new studios.
