Dang. I must be retarded or something. This is the first time I saw this thread. 
UPS has left notices on my door for two straight days, so i think that my chopper is trying to get here lol. it was only $30, so i'm not going to bother selling it.
my gift certificate, well, i've actually got a family member who's into motorcycles 'n stuff, so i may pawn it off on him.

eh, ours were cheaper @ $162 total
it looks like they're now having to buy at least $158 in crap, then pay shipping on top of that.

In reading the forum over there, total with shipping is $190 shipped.
I'm hoping these all show up for you guys and are fantastic, though I'm skeptical.

I am still skeptical, even though I ordered one. But I am less skeptical over time, since I have received paperwork confirming the order in the mail, plus the die-cast chopper has arrived. Additionally, it looks like these Epi Zakk Wylde models are being used for a huge marketing push and will soon be as common as dirt on the ground. Take a look at these:

They are really hyping Zakk these days - he must be selling a lot of guitars for Gibson.
so, i actually played on a Zakk Wylde Epi today. it was pretty nice, and the pickups weren't so bad as i thought they were going to be.
and, something struck me. i played on the bullseye model, which has a carved top. i remember seeing the pics on Epiphone's website, and it doesn't *look* like the buzzsaw model has a carved top. now, logic tells me that it's probably also carved, as it would be cheaper to make a bunch of the same thing, and just slap different finishes on each one, but looking at the pics on Epiphone's website has me wondering...

on the bullseye, you can see some "shine" from the curve of the top, whereas you can't see anything like that on either the buzzsaw OR the camo, for that matter.
am i just weirding out here? that's definitely a possibility

i hope so!
It is, Leon. Fret not, 
thanks.also, i noticed that the pickup selector switch was pretty bad. it produced a very audible pop in the amp. if i stick with the stock passive EMG's, i may go for something like a 2-way DPDT, to get rid of the pop, and just a 2-way since i don't really dig the bridge/neck combo sound. like one of these...
