Epiphone Zakk Wylde ZV Custom Ebony
With its double-cutaway SG upper body allowing for complete
fingerboard access and its radical Flying-V bottom for extreme
attitude, the Epiphone Zakk Wylde ZV Custom guitar has an aggressive
look like no other. The body is carved from solid mahogany and fitted
with a glued-in hard maple neck for a deep, rich tone with added
brightness and sustain.
To complement these tone woods and
provide the kind of high-output necessary for Zakk's style, the ZV
Custom is equipped with a set of EMG-HZ humbuckers including HZ-4
pickup in the bridge position and HZ-4A pickup in the neck position.
Controlling the two pickups are a bridge pickup volume, a neck pickup
volume, and a master tone with 3-way pickup selector. This combination
allows for almost infinite tonal variations. Adding to the sustain of
the electric guitar, the ZV Custom uses Epiphone's patent-applied-for
LockTone Tune-O-Matic that locks the bridge on the posts and makes
string changes a breeze while a string-thru body design ensures
ultimate string resonance.
Zakk Wylde has always preferred a
natural satin-finish neck, and the Epiphone ZV Custom is no exception.
With its SlimTaper neck profile, it's as smooth and as fast as Zakk
himself. Both the neck and the Grover equipped three-on-a-side
headstock are bound to create a smooth and finished appearance while
Les Paul Custom mother-of-pearl inlays adorn the headstock and the 12"
radius rosewood fingerboard. Epiphone's StrapLocks are standard
equipment making sure that this beast stays on its leash—even under the
most extreme stage situations. To add the final touch to this
one-of-a-kind axe, a custom-designed, fitted hardshell guitar case with
ZV-inspired artwork and metal chain handle round out the package.
