Sooo realous!! The pool table works amazing with the guitars on the walls!

Just find a nice Les Paul with an ebony fretboard, put some EMGs in it, and Scotchbrite the neck to taste. Call it a stealthy ZW. You're paying a premium for the bullseye on those sigs. yea I here you, its crazy expensive. I may just stick to getting a used traditional or standard Lp.

Cheaper ZW? Are you talking about the BFG models? Just a word of warning - they have a maple neck so they can be neck heavy! Well the ones I played were anyway... May I suggest you get a white Edwards LP custom and get the bullseye decal painted on it? Yea Gibson has a ZW BFG (chambered) and it's cheaper than the Standard ZW les paul, used I found for $1500. I love the standard one but its soooo expensive. I love that it has an unfinished neck, weight isn't a big concern. I'll check out the edwards, looks great. Too bad the ZW Gibson costs so much, maybe someone will be selling a used one a year from now that's much cheaper somewhere in the world?

Maybe the prognosis is that more people like the sound of a hollowbody than they would admit. Lol I do, I love my semi-hollow. I brought up this question because I really want a Zakk Wylde Gibson Les Paul but they go for around $3500 used, if I can find a used one. Gibson has a chambered version of the ZW Les Paul that I can get for around $1500, but I dont know much about chambered LP's. I'd still like the standard Zakk Wylde LP, but for $3500 oh man, that probably wont happen haha.

keithcar that's crazy, and looks like a hassale to make. I checked out the link u posted, unbelievable what they've done to the LP over the years. What did Lester Paul have to say about all of this?

Yea they can a lot of bad rap on the Gibson website from all the comments. Why do chambered ones cost less though? Doesnt it take more time and work to hollow out a guitar? Also, how hollow are they, are we talking 335 hollow with a center block?

What do you all think of them? Good? Bad? Major differences in tone?
