> Mephistto | 16.05.2007

The neck is actually finished black and Mahogany. They had it wrong on the Gibson website. I think that it really the first "modern" version of the flying to be released in the 21st century.

Put Sakk Mylde to rest. I wouldn't buy one of these guitar from Gibson or Epiphone for fear of getting scammed by the great scammer Sakk Mylde.

> COBHC | 23.02.2008

You guys really need to seek professional help.....bunch of babies....as if Zakk or Ozzy, or even Les Paul cares a whit for your opinions.....

Grow up, forget all about that macho sh*t, and learn how to play guitar.! ! !

> mellencamp | 21.03.2008

i bought an epiphone V not long ago and i cant seem to find another style that i like more - i could only imagine how amazing zakk's is. never been a big fan of zakk or ozzy, but they've all got talent coming out their ears. this is a pretty sweet guitar.

and well said, mellencamp. i couldnt think of a better way to say it, and can think of nothing to add.

sweet guitar. but i dont believe in spending that much money on a peice of wood with strings - handbuilt or not.
