Here is my main guitar, the Gibson Les Paul Standard in Honeyburst. I named her Paris after the blonde celebutante that graces the pages of so many tabloids around the world.
I replaced the original pickups with Zakk Wylde's own EMG 81/85 active pickup set. This baby roars and squeals with the best of them thanks to these pickups and their friend that is sitting pretty in the background.
The Les Paul is definitely the standard when it comes to rock guitars. Grover tuners make sure that my baby doesn't go out of tune when dropping to D.
A tribute to a fallen metal legend graces the side of my axe. I saw Kerry King of Slayer do this on his stage guitars and I decided to do the same. Dimebag was one of the reasons why I got into heavy metal and rock in the first place and if it wasn't for him and his divebombs, I might be blogging about turntables and drum machines. Thanks, Dime. Getcha Pull!
This natural top is hard to come by. Most Les Pauls come in flame tops. I personally don't like them. The original nickel hardware and black speed knobs complete the iconic Les Paul top.
Paris hanging out with some friends in the background. My ESP LTD Alexi Laiho Signature Series, Zakk Wylde pedalboard, Marshall TSL 602, and if you look carefully, some members of the Gorillaz as well as the extremely rare OBEY themed action figure.
Lastly, here is Mr. Robot trying to figure out how to play guitar. The dilemma is simple yet crucial. He has no hands.
Rock on.

Did you wire the pickups yourself or get someone to do it for you? I'm wanting to put an EMG 60/81 setup in mine, but I don't know how hard it would be to install active electronics. (I've installed passive electronics before.)
She's a beaut.
