In the Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" video (the one from the Live&Loud concert, not the origianl one with Randy Rhodes), Zakk Wylde (I think it's Zakk, because AFAIK he was the only guitarist in that concert) uses a strange looking guitar with Les Paul style body but it's larger, with different buttons layout and a weird but cool looking headstock (that looks like two sharp horns).\n\nI don't know of any brand that uses this shape for its headstocks and I was hoping someone here can tell me.\n\nThanks in advance.

I do not know the manufactureer of the guitar, but I can tell you that it was up for sale on eBAY and just ended without a buyer.\n\nhttp://cgi.ebay.com/Zakk-Wylde-original-Glory-Guitar-Live-and-Loud_W0QQitemZ7403279173QQcategoryZ2384QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem\n\n-RIPWAD

That's a double cutaway black acoustic with an "S" on the headstock. If you truly want one of these, it'll cost ya.\nYou can get one from Gibson's Custom Guitar Facility in Nashville. \nStart here: http://www.gibsoncustom.com/\nOr, if you're super serious, contact me.

I just love my Martin D28 acoustic guitar, especially since I have had the frets dressed to 12 thou and a new bone saddle fitted, it really rocks! From wailing blues to low down and gritty rock, I usually like to get it down with my buddies and really kick out the jams! And the sustain is really good , plus good tonal qualilty.

You didn't say what you meant by "affordable".  Most Les Paul copies aren't very good.  Epiphone's tend to be the best...because well...the same factories make Gibson Les Pauls and Epiphone Les Pauls.  You can probably find what I would call affordable Epiphones all over the place.  If you're just looking for the basic shape, ESP makes pretty good affordable guitars, and they have a few with the Les Paul shape.  Ibanez makes a few Les Paul shaped guitars that sound pretty good.  I've never heard of Encore guitars...and if you haven't ever heard one or played one, I wouldn't recommend getting one.  The same goes for any brand that you've never heard of.  Just as a few of the other responses have said...go to a local music store and try a few out to see what you like.  You might find that there's another guitar for you...Les Paul may have invented the electric guitar...but even he played guitars with shapes other than the one named after him.

I think he uses a Schecter Omen 6 (at least in the videos for "So Cold" and "Sooner or Later"). It matches my own guitar (including paint of electric blue) but for recordings and live shows I'm not too sure. Wikipedia didn't have much info.

You know -- today, a greatest hits songbook by Lynyrd Skynyrd came across my workstation.   (Hey I spelled 'em without looking!)\n\nSeriously -- I work with music scores.   I don't think I'd ever seen a photo of the group.   Far hipper than ZZ Top.\n\nP.S.\n\nWhat was your question?

That really makes past guitarists look bad, huh? Personally I'm a 17 year old who loves Keith, Slash, Angus, Zakk Wylde, Joe Perry, Brian May, Jimmy Paige, and those other great guiarists. So you can't say I'm biast for liking something that goes with my age. I prefer the older guys. Unfortunely the new guitarists don't catch my attention. I don't see anyone worty of the title 'guitar god' that hasn't already been deemed it.

What?  It's from the Black album back that rocks!  and the only song on And justice for all is one....PLEASE..That whole album is awesome!!  it seems that his voice has changed for some reason or another. His voice changed, no long solos, not as heavy, seems to be fizzling out..such a shame that they don't get back into their old style.\n\nThis is in reference to Hudsonscribe and Jerry Jagon..I did watch that documentary and I will always love Metallica, I understand that bands need to change, but not to the point where their die hard fans such as I are disappointed.  Back in the day you had Death metal, speed metal, heavy metal, hair bands, hard rock and just rock..  Metallica was in between Speed and heavy..do you understand the adrenaline rush??? I loved the solos as well...Even Kirk Hammett in the documentary was very disappointed that the solos weren't going to play...and since when do they care what everyone Else thinks...I remember when they wouldn't make a video because they didn't want to become like the other bands...remember that?  Am I Evil was taken off Kill em all (absolutely love that song).. made me mad.  I do like Some of their newer songs, and that's just some; I've loved ALL of their old ones.  I do understand that they have been through a lot of changes and some of them for the good for instance James quit drinking...and there's more but it just seems they've lost their spunk.. and I do hope that their next album reflects their old style.

Can't answer your question exactly, but it looks an awful lot like a Gibson archtop or a Gretsch.  You can poke around either of their websites to see guitars that look pretty similar to the one in the picture.  There are particular models of Gibson & Gretsch that have the diagonal bridge piece that appears in the movie -- Gretsch calls it a "chromatic tailpiece".  I didn't see that Gibson had a particular name for their version but they definitely have guitars sporting that same shape.\n\nThe one thing I'll agree with you about is that unless it's an anachronism (a modern guitar that doesn't belong in the time period depicted in the movie), it's not an electric guitar -- you can clearly see there's no obvious "soapbar" pickup like there would be on an archtop electric guitar (there are sneaky mics/pickups in acoustic guitars today, but I can't believe that was available then).

Never heard of the group to be honest. \n\nYour best bet is to join up with a guitar tab list group. \nHere is one that might be able to help you. \nhttp://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/guitartabs2000/\n\n\nNot the song you are looking for but you might be able to make a request to these guys. \nhttp://www.activeguitar.com/tab/guitar/Indecent_Obsession.asp\n\nI was unable to locate the artist's home page but I suspect these guys might be willing to tab it out for you directly. Worth a try if you can find a way to contact them.

Sounds cool.  Never heard it.  Unless of course that song from Killing Bill was Japanese Thrash.  That's what I imagine it would sound like based on it's title.

Tell your class that you can't put these together in a category! \nYou can't compare Pink Floyd (not phloyd) with these, and you also can't compare Queen! These are bands with different genres...\n\nBut for Black Sabbath or AC/DC, it's Black Sabbath

I've seen this guitar in many forms.  You gotta ask yourself what did all the guitar players do to learn their craft before things like this came along.  I would say this guitar will become a crutch as you will always be looking for the hints on the neck.  Buy a entry level Fender or similar guitar and buy a guitar tableture book with you favorite songs if you don't want to take proper lessons.  Learn the chords and play them for at least 20 minutes every day....and I do mean every day.  The blisters you are going to get are gonna hurt at first but it's part of the trade.

You are probably up a creek on this one. Your best bet for something a little cheaper than $2000 is to look into Godin guitars. I can't remember ever having seen a guitar like the one youe are describing, but I have seen some that have a more compact body and on- board electronics. Try contacting local music stores for more info. Good luck on this one..... if you can find one I think that would be a fairly interesting guitar!
