It was Zakk Wylde’s personal design. Dean made it for him first because Gibson wouldn’t make it, calling it the “Splittail”. Gibson BEGGED for Zakk to return to them, so they made him the guitar out of desperation calling it the “ZV”. Of course, he stayed with Gibson.
Love the dean headstock on it better than the gibson one. I’d rather have the Dean original. :) Better paintjob on the Dean too. This is horrible…

LOOK LIKE SPLITTAIL

I think its sweet looking but I’m not a fan of SGs. I can’t stand the action. However, it does have a spideresque look about it.

Yes, and the Dean Splittail is a combo ripoff of the Gibson Flying V and SG, so the Splittail should be marketed as “Inspired by 45-year-old Gibson designs.”

Could be we’ve run out of new ideas for guitar shapes? And as timeless as body styles such as the Les Paul and Strat have proven to be, do we care?

Interesting, but seriously this is a Gibson version of the Dean Splittail. Instead of “Inspired by ZW” it should be “Inspired by Dean Guitars”

I think I’m the only one to like that shape… :D I don’t like the bevelled edges on the V part, though, and the finish is awful (a nice wine red would be much better). But overall, I wouldn’t mind owning one.

Correct.
And they are both ugly.

Dean makes this already, they call it the SplitTail.

They should leave this kind of crap to the likes of ESP and Dean.

Looks bizarre with that classic Gibson headstock. Not that it would look good with any other headstock…but I’m just saying…
