Former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist and current Black Label Society frontman Zakk Wylde had a custom made Les Paul guitar stolen from a tour bus outside the Chicago Theatre Friday night.
Wylde was one of the featured guitarists playing the "Experience Jimi Hendrix" concert at the venue. Wylde spoke to the Sun-Times's Selena Fragassi about the show, which also featured Buddy Guy and Kenny Wayne Shepherd.
The Sun-Times reports the guitar is a "Pelham Blue" Les Paul painted with Qylde's signature bulls-eye design.
Wylde tweeted out details of the theft:
