Wylde recently chatted with Gibson about his love for the Gibson brand. "Being a kid, it's the coveted grail," he said. "When see all your favorite players playing a Gibson Les Paul. Obviously, seeing Jimmy Page play one was a huge influence on me, and obviously Saint Rhoads � Randy. That was the thing: to try to get a Les Paul. I just love the body shape of it, the sound of it. To me, it's a perfect guitar. Les Pauls, you have the custom guys and the standard guys. Like, Slash is strictly a standard guy. But other guys, like Randy and me, I just love the way a custom is, for the style of music that I do. But, I have a bunch of standards, as well. I think for that classic rock tone, it can't be beat."
