Lou Gulevski Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 G'day Ladies and Gents, I have just purchased a Zakk Wylde bullseye les paul Gibson.I was told that the guitar is 17 years old and he was the original owner since 1991. I have tried many ways on the net to date this guitar. Serial number is ZW 809. Would be very greatful with any help. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Didnt ZW signature go into production way later than 1991? I think they where released in the late 90s... i could be wrong... for 1991 he had just recorded "no more tears" and at the time he used lots of guitars, including the original "bullseye" which he got from a friend of him (first borrowed, and then he agreed to sell the thing to zakk), he didnt start using the "signature" bullseye till much later... its all guess at this time, memory seems to fail me later, i have the info on that guitar in my office, will post something tomorrow. Where did you buy that guitar? do you have any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 as i said before, in 1991 he was touring with ozzy after just finishing recording no more tears... the signatures came way later... (like... 10 years later) some pics would help, maybe the guy that sold it to you didnt know much about the guitar or he made a mistake... with pics i could tell you a lot as i like that guitar very much and have read a lot on it.

Thundergod Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 the one who sold him the guitar may have been wrong with the date... no way zakk wylde signatures came out in 91, at least that im prety confident about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Gulevski Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 G'day Ladies and Gents, Thanks, Gents for all your help. The bullseye I purchased from Mike Tramp ( White Lion ). Sorry I have not responded to your post, I have not been on line since I posted this a long while ago. Still have not found out exactly the build year, But to be honest I have not revisited the issue since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundergod Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 The guy selling it was mistaken OR it is a fake... pics would help, I wouldnt tell you WHY but I will tell you if it is the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
