Classic Axes: Zakk Wylde's Bulls-Eye Gibson

Zakk Wylde is known for his use of  Gibson Les Paul Custom model guitars with a"bulls-eye" graphic on them, a design he used to deliberately differentiate himself visually from Randy Rhoads- who was also frequently identified by his white Les Paul Custom. Interestingly, one of Wylde's favorite stage guitars of late is a replica of Rhoads' Flying V.   The "bulls-eye" paint job was originally supposed to look like the spiral from the movie "Vertigo", but when it came back incorrect from the luthier, he liked the result and stuck  with it.
