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.

Hey! Just imagine,knobs out of the way,6100 wire,F/R trem...all Mahogany,Old School. Like taking my 1943 Mustang out for a spin and listening to that Straight-12 Rolls Royce engine sing like Harleys in harmony.

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.

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.
