Zakk Wylde uses EMGs, a Les Paul and a JCM800 2204. Is his sound muddy? Hmmm.... I think not. If you think so, you might want to get your ears checked.
I concede that Zakk Wylde is anything but muddy, perhaps muddy was not the right term to use. I guess when I think of 80s hair metal, Mr. Wylde does not immediately come to mind. Though I realize he was very big during that period. I usually think of the likes of Dokken, Ratt, Maiden, Motle Crue, VH etc.
