SG Meets Flying V: Gibson Producing Zakk Wylde ZV Cary Sep 21st
What’s got black & white stripes, the wings of a Flying V, and the devilish horns of an SG? You guessed it––the soon to be announced Gibson Zakk Wylde ZV… otherwise known as the Zakk-V.
No, we don’t have anything in the way of official specs yet, but based on the photo (which is just one small part of this stellar interview with Wylde over at Modern Guitars Magazine,) the guitar appears to be armed with active EMG humbuckers, a rosewood fretboard with 22 frets and block inlays, fully-bound head and fretboard binding, and of course Wylde’s famous bulls-eye graphic.
This guy’s got more signature gear than you can shake a stick at… just a few that we’ve covered here include the Epi Zakk Wylde Buzzsaw Custom Les Paul, Gibson Inspired By Zakk Wylde Flying V, and who could forget that cute little Marshall Zakk Wylde Microstack… tip of the hat to my good friend IG for pointing this one out.

Still, I hope the V part is less pointy than on the Dean’s version… I don’t like the bevelled edge. I’ve seen Wylde’s prototype some times ago, and the V part was rounded like on the original, with bevels fading into the SG part, it was awesome.

Wow. One of the fugliest guitars I have ever seen. It’ds great though, for all of those Zakk Wylde wanna-bes who were only discouraged from playing like their hero (cause, you know, you get his guitar and you are guaranteed to sound like him) because they thought the Les Pauls were simply too attractive!
Yuk!
