That refinished Zack Wild guitar reminds me a little of the natural you have or had. I think it looks good like it is now but I'm sure he lowered its value. You can still see some of the old finish from what I've seen where the neck meets the body.
From far off the PRS looks like it has a display showing the peeks and lows through out the octaves. I would've been more impressed with the 335 if the area that was not so flamed and active would've been on the same side together. Being the top lacking flame near the f hole so when you looked at the back of would be right behind the less figured part of the top.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure this is something Zakk would've done to one of his guitars to. Considering he's pounded bottlecaps into one of his customs before lmao
Love it as well - I'll change any guitar "I own" to look sound and feel the way I want it to be, and everyone has the right to do the same. As much as I love a beautiful guitar - and Trogly finds some zingers - the ones I own are there to be played. Also I kind of liked the PRS until Trog mentioned the arse flaps and that totally spoiled it for me 😂 - I'd go with the relaxing ocean blue one for $5k more lol
That bullseye finished probably got destroyed. Looking at the hardware the original paint job wouldn't have faired well so that guy decided to strip it off the the natural wood underneath looks good. Instead of repainting the bullseye and people claiming it is a fake he just made it into a natural finish guitar.
Oh sh$&t! Trogly went hard with “The Golden Rectum” 🤣 I would call it “The Sepia Sphincter “. 😂 Kind of odd Trog didn’t see a butterfly in it? He usually sees animals and cartoon characters first. 🧐🤨
I think there was probably some severe finish damage, which caused the owner to take this drastic step. The heavily beaten up headstock seems to indicate that to me.
Look man, guitars aren't usually meant to be stored away, never played in a case somewhere. The whole purpose of a guitar is to play it and use it. Why can't you respect someone - who clearly loved that instrument and played it, and adjusted it to his specs, what if they don't give a crap about the guitar's resale value and collectable status, and at the time when he bought it, those guitars probably weren't even rare anyway. And plus, I've seen some way worse mods done to vintage Gibsons. It's not sacrilegious, It's just a bloody guitar at the end of the day. It is pretty pricy though...
I’m willing to place money that the refinish came due finish damage or wear that made it a point of no return. Chances are that guitar sounds amazing and goes into that realm of “looks like hell, but sounds like heaven.” The fact they went with jumble frets and such tells me they wore the old ones out and didn’t want that happening ever again. Look at the high frets, that thing has been shredded on. Bet you if you snagged it and played it you’d fall in love and not care one bit about what it was.
I actually like it. Also like the Zakk Bullseye paintjob but this is quite unique and indeed it takes some serious round heavy objects to do this. Probably the original paint was damaged in some horrible way and the owner decided to go all in. Great stuff Trogly!
Actually, I can't fault this person. If he truly loved playing that guitar but hated the finish, why not. It's a tool for his trade. Like sanding a hammer.
@@Wargasm54 Could have been the guitar had problems when he got it. Re-fret on a LP Custom isn't cheap, add a significant amount of play wear on the top and he might not have that much into it.
@@hkguitar1984 even if he had 1/3rd that much into it, why pay that kind of coin for a guitar with that kind of issues? If he picked it up for 500$, then that’s a different story. Anything is possible I guess.
@@Wargasm54 You are right about anything being possible. Back in the late 1970s our lead vocalist scored a Gibson Medallion Flying V. A guy owed our Singer a couple hundred bucks and that was all he had to pay! Even back then it was worth maybe $400! Now they sell for over $10K. No way of knowing how long he's had it and what he paid for it.
Then buy one and save it from being stripped haha. We can't really have an issue with it. The guy had a guitar he liked, maybe he strips all his guitar for TOAN or feel reasons, whatever, and he wanted his number 1 to feel like the others do. Especially early 2000s people aren't thinking people on the internet will pay $10,000 for this one day, they're thinking what would make me like my thing better.
@@lettuce_spray I understand it if those options/changes cost more to produce, however I would imagine every signature model enjoys a price increase for use of the Artist's name as they too receive a cut of the sales pie. And in that respect that is sort of on the Artist. I do believe there have been some Artist models that cost less and that was specifically due to the Artist themselves wishing to offer a lower cost instrument to their fans, its rare though.
You know, quite frankly I like it better now. I've never been a fan of the Zakk Wylde finishes and all the Slash sig models and all that. I like'em gritty & natural. This thing got improved if you ask me.
Not big on the Z-Dub finishes, so the changes are in my opinion improvements overall, but in the end, make little sense to devalue such a popular CS-Artist axe. He could have sold it and spec'd out his own CS or Murphy Lab LP. I suppose if he really loved the guitar but was weary of the finish and electronics, it makes sense to him. He didn't cheap out on it and even maintained the COA, so there is that. It is worth 3 Gs or so.
My son dropped my Epi custom in black. Not wanting a cracked paint job I started sanding and lo and behold I uncovered a ZW bullseye finish. By the time I realized it I had partially sanded through areas so it eventually looked like burnt parchment around the edges. Totally unique but sold it eventually! This was about 13 years ago
Good for the guy that redid this guitar. He turned a hideous bullseye guitar into a beautiful les Paul custom. I love it. The crime was making a horrible bullseye by Gibson.
Back in the 70’s a buddy’s ‘56 LP Special was in a fire, cooked the finish on the front. A refinish and it’s a survivor! Gotta add, that was my favourite LP I’ve ever played, he went through that ‘56, a ‘57, ‘58, ‘59 and his favourite was his ‘60. For sure the Standards were prettier but hot damn the sound of that ‘56 ... 🤪
Ooh. Trogly working slightly blue. Didn’t see that coming. Anyway, that PRS reminds me more of spin art or a Rorschach test. Rorschach would be a cool name for it.
Kinda like it for $3500. Good parts and exceptionally chunky LP. The whole Zack Wylde swirly paint jobs were great for 20 year old poofy hair guys, but a bit much for respectable Les Paul, and therefore my hat comes off for the guy who grew up, and refinished his guitar (slow clapping). Someday, they'll come out with a reasonably priced LP just as this one is decked out, minus the Zack left overs.
I 'm I a huge fan of the Vertigo ZW custom. Though it was hard to watch at first. To each their own, it did kill me to see a bullseye stripped. 🤔 Not made for the Trogloseum 👍 great vid 🎸
I saw a 78' Pre EB Stingray bass(Trans brown),that someone routed and installed a middle position P pickup+the drilled an extra hole in the headstock?treble side)installed a 5th machine head!Converted to a 5 string bass.Installed a Bartilolini hum,and 5 string bridge.😳.I also came across a 79' Pre EB Stingray sunburst,that someone spray painted black.Fortunately,I was able to very carefully remove the black paint,and the original finish was still intact.Sold it.I wish I would've bought the brown one,but I just couldn't live with THAT many mods.(Bastardized!)
Incredible that someone stripped the finish off of a signature Model Guitar like this Zakk Wylde Les Paul Custom. I'm guessing that someone could have picked it up second-hand and they weren't necessarily A Zakk fan so it didn't matter to them if they stripped the paint job off of it. Regardless it's still a nice guitar but I think the seller is asking too much. Love the blue PRS NY model with all of the skyscraper inlays, beautiful.
Seems odd considering he had the box and all, I’d see getting it cheap if it had no box, paper work, og case and stuff. This dude paid a good penny for it
And to not even attempt to fill and hide the hole??? Even if you wanted it done professionally by a good luthier it would cost peanuts, but to just leave it there sucks.
I was thinking 2500 too. They stripped a lot of value from, like you said, the distinctive paint job. Should've just painted it white without the bullseye
The variegated leaf is treated before it’s applied. They purchase it that way. It’s one of the finishes that goldleaf comes in. I think you can buy variegated leaf with different tints and tones in it
Yeah you’re right it’s gold with different things mixed in like copper or palladium and that makes it react and reflect differently. You can get it with like a red tint or green or silver etc based on what’s added to the gold. Gold leaf is 23 or 24 karat so very soft and won’t oxidize but with streaks of another metal you get the shine of the gold with less of a yellow hue that slightly changes with materials it’s on. Pretty cool stuff. To use similar stuff with a silver color you’d use palladium because silver oxidizes even if you seal over it on a car door. Variegated leaf is a different animal to apply as well but like with anything the more you use it the better you can apply it. Looks great on glass especially or with a pattern burnished in.
PRS and Fender Custom shops you can change certain specs throughout the build...sometimes you don't know what inlay material or hardware looks best with the guitar until at least the body has been finished
Even worse than the broken inlay on the Brand New Dave V? PRS make stunning guitars. Your arm would cover that area of the guitar anyway, nice lookin 335!
Hey thanks for featuring our guitar and compliments about our video! Your nickname for the PS made us laugh - we try to do unique and interesting things with Private Stocks and sometimes people love it, sometimes they hate it! You should roast our Sculpture Private Stock next 😉
8:29 "PRS has a whole bunch of different shapes"... Yeah, they have this one, and ... that one and, ermm... (yeah, I know they have the Santana, Mira, Silver Sky, Starla, Vela, Torero and probably a few more, but really- they have two shapes- the Custom and the Singlecut.)
I love it! Want the EMG's on it, but they are great playing and I always got shit for playing mine live, people either loved it or flipped you off! This looks great!
If I was offered the choice between the stripped bullseye and a mint bullseye with the caveat that I couldn't sell it, it would be the stripped version every time.
335 Tops.... I have a sunburst '95. It has a 'quilt top' with a small dead spot. It used to bug me. Since it can score an easy 97% (especially the 60s profile neck), I don't mind the dead spot anymore. I don't play it much, but it sure is nice to look at!
Hey Austin, I have a few guitars I need you to look at when you have some time. Probably 6 to start with. How do I get you to look these over? Your knowledge is far superior to mine so it would help out a ton to know what I have.
Also you wanted to know our thoughts on the PRS butthole guitar, for whatever reason it gives me a "silence of the lambs" vibe. Other than that I 100% agree, this one is not for me either.
The laminate top, back and sides? That is how they have been built since the very first ones in the late 1950s. To produce/build those like a carved arch top would more than double the price! Even the Gibson ES-175 that was first produced in 1949 uses the same laminate construction design for the top, back and sides.
@@hkguitar1984 quite the scholarly reply genuinely thank you for the history I’m ignorant of unfortunately. I dislike laminate construction in guitars, of course this is just my preference.
@@johns6095 I find it strange you don't like laminated tops, have you heard the music and tones that have come from laminated top 335s in the last 65yrs? Carved tops make no sense and a 335, all the hardware pickups and controls mounted on the top would negate any "superior" tone a carved top might have, also carved top acoustic jazz guitars wouldn't have a maple top anyway,
@@johns6095 I'm right there with you, I'm not a fan either. If I ever feel the need to own an ES style guitar I would instead purchase a Japan made Tokai as their price more closely reflects the construction method. I totally understand the Gibson premium costs, and I own a few Gibson and am very pleased with them. I just wouldn't personally pay extra for a laminate construction Gibson.
Dude...I love your channel...although I really don't care for PRS, the many Les Pauls and the eventual Strat will keep me coming back...keep up the good work !
I like how that schiesse burst guitar was finished. Probably wouldn't have used brown, though. I'd be interested to see the process of the gold leaf and anodizing of that guitar.

agreed. not many production les paul’s out there with maple necks. and pretty sure not everyone is into the bulls eye graphic
props to the guy who fixed all of the things that were wrong with the Zakk Wylde LP
Agree! This is far better looking, and likely sounds better too, with superior pups
I’ll admit it looks a lot cleaner and nicer than the bullseye
Good for him, waaay nicer than the bullseye!
Yes I agree!
100%, it's gone from being a copy of Zakk's to their own thing!
I feel that even Zakk would approve of the modifications.
I dig it! The ZW.
People send perfectly good historics to get makeovers and pay stupid money for that service.
Never understood why anyone would want to ruin a beautiful guitar by putting a crappy bullseye on it in the first place.
Shame on Gibson for painting over that beautiful back on the ZW. It looks a lot better as is.

This reminded me of the band Ram Jam “Black Betty” video, it has a similar looking LP in. 🤣
Would love to see you break down a Novo at some point.
Was the PRS with the skyline inlays made before 2001? It has the World Trade Center towers on it.
Arguably, it looks better now.
@11:50 I was physically disgusted at that aspect of the 335
The laminate top, back and sides?
That is how they have been built since the very first ones in the late 1950s.
To produce/build those like a carved arch top would more than double the price!
Even the Gibson ES-175 that was first produced in 1949 uses the same laminate construction design for the top, back and sides.
@@hkguitar1984 quite the scholarly reply genuinely thank you for the history I’m ignorant of unfortunately. I dislike laminate construction in guitars, of course this is just my preference.
@@johns6095 I find it strange you don't like laminated tops, have you heard the music and tones that have come from laminated top 335s in the last 65yrs? Carved tops make no sense and a 335, all the hardware pickups and controls mounted on the top would negate any "superior" tone a carved top might have, also carved top acoustic jazz guitars wouldn't have a maple top anyway,
@@johns6095 I'm right there with you, I'm not a fan either. If I ever feel the need to own an ES style guitar I would instead purchase a Japan made Tokai as their price more closely reflects the construction method.
I totally understand the Gibson premium costs, and I own a few Gibson and am very pleased with them. I just wouldn't personally pay extra for a laminate construction Gibson.
Well, don't you kinda need the Plaineye in your collection now...? 😅
lol
i don't mind that, it's got a mick ronson look vibe to it.
🏴☠️
Ohh I saw this listed a while ago. To each is own. Stripes aren’t for everyone 🤷🏻♂️
Absolutely loved the PRS until you compared it to a rusty ring piece, now I can't unsee it 😂😂😂
That varigated gold leaf finish looks uniquely beautiful :D
Dude...I love your channel...although I really don't care for PRS, the many Les Pauls and the eventual Strat will keep me coming back...keep up the good work !
I like how that schiesse burst guitar was finished. Probably wouldn't have used brown, though. I'd be interested to see the process of the gold leaf and anodizing of that guitar.
The PRS Rectum Rocker! I would play the crap out of that guitar!
