Gibson Zakk Wylde Flying V Custom with Floyd Rose

This is one of the Gibson Custom Shop's coolest creations in my opinion. The Zakk Wylde Flying V comes with an original Floyd Rose trem, Zakk's trademark EMG 85 and 81 pick-up set,Mahogony body with maple top, Ebony fret board, typical Gibson knob and switch set up. And most importantly the coolest paint job there is on any V...I say that as a huge Zakk fan boy. This was a limited edition piece but they are out there to be had on Ebay and some other places.

UTILIZATION

This truly is one of the best Vs I have ever played. Access up top is great, the thing is very light and feels a lot like an SG in that way. Very easy to play and has a great neck radius. It's easy to overlook the discomfort of a V when you see how cool it looks. Well designed.

SOUNDS

Ok my only disclaimer on the sound is that I hate EMGs so if they are your thing, you would have no complaints. Love the guitar for what it is and be done. As a Zakk fan that is exactly what I do but my sound rating is less than perfect for that one reason. It is perfect for the music of Zakk and sounds like it should for that and for modern music in general. I find a good humbucker such as a JB or Tone Zone a much better choice for classic rock tones.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall opinion is that this is a great instrument with a lot of mojo if you are a Zakk fan. I love the paint job, the feel, the weight, the fret board is superb and the Trem is a great feature. I have stated the opinion on the EMGS and the only other thing is that I wish it came with the unfinished neck like the Les Pauls with Zakk's name. This is a great feature and would have worked on this. The other downside is the price, yes it is a quality instrument and yes it is Gibson Custom Shop but holy moly $4,000+ is a lot of cash. That being said love the guitar for what it is and would say if you have the cash this is a good choice to display and play.

This is made in usa guiatre very, very good finish
Posed 22frets it and two big fat humbucker made in emg emg I call the bridge position and 85 EMG 81 neck position of his what big!
a big fat floyd type bridge and frankly it without any cash left to tune the guitar.
a classic on any of the gibson Zakk Wylde is a series that 2volume and two tone with a micro switch 3 positions (neck, two pickups and bridge)
handle very large and well rounded typed D perfect grip.

Just for this part I put 10/10

UTILIZATION

The handle is more than pleasant slides her alone with a very good grip this di for small hands is not the top and then take back the guitar o max for a good catch this inconvegnant apart for little hands nothing pointed out it's all good.
flying v powa access to acute wonderful can come titillated the last fret with no worries.
To which is the bottom egonmie is a flying v sitting fairly complex games by standing up against in games is nothing to say a beautifully balanced guitar and a gibson I can not find it heavy at all.
to a level that is Metalosis is perfect for large well hardrock metal is no problem with emg against the clean sound is not that there is no better now but it does very well when same.
I put him 10/10 because I am a metal and the sounds will clear his strong point so my pa 10

SOUNDS

This is perfectly suited to my gibson wait a scratching noise of Burin Bourin or for demoiselles.en saturated sounds obtained his bliss frankly nothing has redire.Par against the clear sound is not his strong point even if no ono out very well regret the lack of heat to provide this Guitres.
I now play on a stack lin6 spiderII 150W head and 412 cabinet with vintage harley benton celestion speaker's level so it is just before I said what is a dream guitar.

For me its saturated large disto's made for her when it sounds clear trend would almost leave them out because they lack warmth and roundness is a regrettable but it can be catastrophic LOJN I would puts 9 / 10 because of its

OVERALL OPINION

I was only two weeks into the hands because it is my uncle who lent me the test and I am sorry for having made (stp uncle gives me ^ ^).
I like most is it's ergonomics class prestige which its sound quality.
is I like least is the price I will get back lol but its ofSuite.
before this guitar I tested mine dabord my washburn 20 ox that has nothing to do a side of the gibson even if it has nothing to envy him lol and I tested one made in usa jackson kely mounted seymour.
talking about the price has more than € 5,300 in the store I understand why my uncle bought on the net € 4700 (which is thomann not know) so it's of very expensive but absolutely worth your fan for Zakk.
me itchy for 7 years I would have no choice of cowardice essitations
