Damluji Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Hi, this is Abdullah from Stockholm! I’ve been playing (badly) since 2001 when I picked up my first guitar at age 18, a banged up C.G.Winner copy of the B.C.Rich warlock at a small music shop in Baghdad, Iraq. (Bought for 100$, I sold my PlayStation to fund it! I still have it, its near-on unplayable and too expensive to fix for what’s it worth but it’s travelled so long and seen so much, so I keep it around) I’ve owned and played many shapes and pickup variations from many makers, US, Korean, Chinese etc, since but only recently I finally discovered what I really like: thick wide necks, heavy, solid body electrics with humbuckers and a fixed bridge. In short: LP-type guitars! My latest buy is an Epiphone ZW LP custom Bullseye from 2002, which is a big part of the reason why I’m here, I’d like to know more about this model, how early was it first made, etc. Currently saving up for a custom shop LP in time for my 40th birthday :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retired Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Congrats on the Bullseye Abduliah. Ive seen them around quite a while, not sure when they were first made. I have a LP custom pro Limited and absolutely love it. Have fun playing yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Hi and welcome to the forum. As far as I can make out the Epi ZW LPC Bullseye first came out in 2002 so you have a very early one. Can't find the specs for that exact year's model but the early ones had passive EMGs and an unnamed species of wood was used for the fret-board (the later version had active EMG's and a rosewood 'board). Here are a couple of links. The first is to a review of a 2003 example which will probably be very similar to your own. The second is the official Epi page for a slightly later version; http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Les-Paul/Zakk-Wylde-Custom-Plus-Bullseye.aspx Pip.
