Nice but mine would have a flamed honeyburst top! SWEET!!! I hope Gibson puts this in the Vee production line-up. The LP custom binding and inlay on h head as well as the block inlays on the fretboard rock! I’d like it in honey burst with gold hardware and cream double coil pick-ups please.
This is a great guitar! I own one, and signed by Zakk and OZZY too!

Zakk is fantastic his guitars are fantastic but the prices are bullshit
c’mon its just a gibson v with his name and a paint job
Zakk Wylde your THE guitarist
Shop Prices your my SHIT
does anyone know the starting sieral numbers for this batch of guitars cause a pawn shop around me has one with the vin numbers as ZAKK 106 and i have read they only made a hundred of them and it don’t look bad there is some shit that is diffrent about it it looks like a well made copy he said he alredy turned down $500 for it
whoresome geeeetar man
15 years too late that bulls eye shit is outdated. I would like to see gibson replica the REBEL. I look foward to gibson to do that because everyone seems to love it. plus they want your hard earned cash!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.! ! !
Screw all the mother fuckers who say Zakk sucks I will kill you all I will hunt down your familys and rape them so just fuck off you fucking cock blocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh and who ever says you suck can go suck a fat one!!! Screw you ZakkHater
ZAkk your the best man!!!! You,BLS, and Ozzy are amazing this guitar is just amazing I wish I had one. Keep rockin till you drop!!

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.

zakk wylde is the best fucking guitarest in the hole world.
Ese Hombre es perfecto

Alright haters go get fucked now, i’ve played lots of guitars and am lucky emough to own number 38 of the veezw series and 131 camo and 1068 bullseye custom zakk’s these are GIBSON CUSTOM HAND BUILT GUITARS and so are fookin brilliant to both play and behold. I thank you Gibson for a pinnacle of guitar luthiership and humbly request a buzzsaw model that i my complete my collection of fully gigging LP’S
A Gibson with a Floyd? How could they?
i wanna buy an Epi Goth V and fix it up like this! with EMGs and such.
I have a epi gothv with emgs and tons of other stuff and it sounds great in my opinion the only problem is there’s no good place for the battery,so you have to wrap it in some insulation and stuff it down in the cavity with the knobs, plus the way the pickguard is on the guitar it’s a bitch to change the battery other than that it’s awesome Check mine out on YouTube put in gothv crazytrain zakkwylde style
hi zakk
hey john it’s not a gibson V/SG it’s a Dean Muddy Bulls Eye customed for zakk
Zakk Rules
its so nice you want to f*uck it right? amazing guitar
HOLY SHIT!!!!! I saw Zakk using it live.Now i would trade every guitar I have for one of these.
ZAKK RULES!!!

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. One last dive, with my finger on the switch, and you can mark my fuselage. This thing… doesn`t it Z?

i just want a Gibson V with a Floyd Rose. i don ‘t need to pay an extra 2 grand for a dumb bullseye paint job. any help finding this for a workin mans price?
I love Zakk
What about that Gibson Zakk Wylde custom V/SG hybrid he played on the VH1 Rock Honors with Ozzy? When will that be available?
bad ass axe zakk rules
His Rebel (Bottle top) Les Paul is still my fav.
You’re a tool. Fact.
Zakk is an Insane master of the Gibson guitars…I saw his les paul and saw this V and I would trade my setup any day for his rig…
Oh and to those tone deaf mutha-f***ers who I see leaving those stupid coments, You lucky I don’t know where you live…And you guys better damn sure you don’t talk about Dimebag, ’cause I’ll hunt you all down and go Doomsday Jesus on you all……
I ordered one of these and the waiting is killing me.
that guitar freaken rocks
Thanks for tip off SDMFer. Article now fixed.
Thanks for the comments everyone.
the best ZAKK’s guitar, after the Rebel, in my opinion
a new guitar from a great player is always good news. wow awsome axe.i own a signature zakk wylde lespaul,usa, that is of course
does anyone know what these are selling for
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.
putz quanto sera q custa uma dessas, vo vende o carro da minha mae pra compra uma 😛
Sweet guitar. Really
Sucks. Zakk is a fag
You guys are really sad… I don’t want one… I WANT 2 OF THEM!
