Zakk Wylde Counterfeit Custom

June 29th, 2008


There are so many of these Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom guitars about, and many are thought to be genuine. If you’re going to buy one check the following: If the pickup selector switch has a surround, it’s not legit. If it appears to have a one piece maple neck, forget it, the real ones have a three piece. The volume and tone pots are speed dials, a lot of the forgeries have top hats with silver insert dials. It’s a custom shop guitar – it has a different type of serial number to the 9 digits you get on a Gibson USA guitar and it’s printed on, not stamped in, a real Zakk Wylde number starts with ZW.
