Zakk Wylde Guitar Lesson (NEW!)

Guitars:

Gibson Les Paul Bullseye - One of rock's most recognizable guitars. Zakk wanted to stand out from Randy Rhoads, since both were associated with the LP Custom, so he had this paint job done and has stuck with it ever since. Like just about every LP Zakk owns it is equipped with a set of EMG pickups (81 bridge and 85 neck). Zakk names his Les Pauls after a New York Yankee great based on the serial number. Can be seen: Mr. Tinkertrain, Counterfeit God, Dreamer.
