Epiphone · electric guitar
The Epiphone Zakk Wylde Bullseye Les Paul Custom Plus brings Wylde's iconic black-and-white target graphic, most associated with his primary Gibson Les Paul Custom signature guitars, to Epiphone's more accessible price tier, built with the mahogany body and set-neck construction typical of a Les Paul Custom alongside active EMG 81 and 85 humbuckers matching the pickup pairing found across most of his main rig. The bold bullseye finish, gold hardware, and block fingerboard inlays replicate the visual identity of his most recognizable stage guitars, giving fans and Black Label Society and Ozzy-era enthusiasts a way to get close to Wylde's signature look and active-pickup high-gain tone without the cost of the premium Gibson USA version.
