I am hoping a couple more people can chime in on this.

I hate to say this, more than anything, but its a fake. Theres tons of ZAkk Wilde fakes out there, in fact, many more than the standards or any other commemorative guitars. Ive personally turned in probably 10 or more out of the 25 Ive reported to Ebay that were Zakk Wildes, some buzz saws, but mostly the bullseyes.
The tone/volume control knobs should almost always be a little behind the bridge, the gold tone is more yellow than gold, and that diamond backplate is way, way off. Sorry, bro.
Heres the link that tells quite a bit of info on the Zakk Wilde bullseye fakes out there.

Also, you can compare yours to Epiphones site, they have excellent pics of all you need to tell.

I updated my post, looks like the counterfeiters have figured out how to fake the ZAkk logo better now... Sorry, I jumped the gun on that one.
Looks like your "E" in the Epiphone lettering might be what that website mentions, that its a little too fat? Check & see, I cant tell very well.
