Epiphone Zakk Wylde signature les paul custom with the pickups already installed when I bought it
Sound
:
No Opinion
loads of output and plenty of sustain, I play all sorts from metal to country rock, I use a Marshall MG 250DFX amplifier using the suggested settings in the manual and boy does it rock.
Overall Rating

10
I would most definately buy the same again but upgrade the amplifier to perhaps the JCM 900

Comments: if they were lost or stolen, i would truly cry. I found them on the EMG site, they are the 25th aniversary silver 81's, and they are the most beautiful pickup on the market. EMG is almost out of them, guitar center had to specail order them for me and it took about 2 months for them to come in, but damn was it worth it!!!!!
