Epiphone Zakk Wylde Bullseye Les Paul

[Marty_McFly]

Hey guys n gals,

years ago, as I was still on the Fender side, but as my interest for Les Pauls slowly grew, I saw THE ONE guitar. Back in the day I didn't knew anything about her but 2 things:

1. She's the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen
2.One day, she will be mine

I am talking about the LP mentioned in the title. I know that she's a signature guitar, but I'm not a Zakk Wylde fan-boy. (I mean he makes great music, but I never bought one of his Albums nor I am planning for doing smth like that) I'm just in love with the yellowish/cream-black-gold design of the guitar, and I do not connect her with ZW.

The dumb thing is, that they aren't sold new anymore. Altough, a couple of days ago, I found a used one for 510 bucks. There are a few small cracks in the finish around the three-way-switch, <- those are pretty much coverd by an black/gold RHYTHEM/TREBLE ring. Other than that, the guitar is in pretty good condition. (It's the version with the active EMG 81/85 PUs) With the LP, there comes as well an Epiphone LP hard case which is in the price includet. The seller says, that the price is
negotiable, and I am going to try to push him down quit a bit.

What I wanna know now from you guys n gals, is if you think that the price is ok/ or how far do you think I could bargain down?

Thank You in advance!

If you can, post some pics first. There are tons of fake Zakk Wylde Epi's out there.

Pretty sure I saw one of the Wyldes advertised recently on Craigslist for 400 or so. I think it was the EMG version.

In my area, the price is about average or even a bit low. I have seen them in very good condition with a hard case advertised for $500-650. My first offer on one in very good condition would probably be $450, much lower might be insulting.

There should not be a poker chip on the switch. Don't know about the rest of it.

Here's a link to my post of a counterfeit Zakk W. that I found at a pawn shop in Sioux Falls, along with Paruwi's analysis of it:

Yeah, as i mentioned in my thread, there are some small cracks around the switch. Thats why they put a poker chip on that place, to cover de damage a little bit.
