📚 Description: The Gibson Custom Shop ZV / SGV has to be one of the most bizarrely shaped guitars to come out of the Gibson Custom Shop. There were 100 bullseye and 50 buzzsaw versions made in two separate runs. Counting artist proofs/prototypes/custom orders for Zakk - that leaves us with around 200 of these crazy things existing. They are certainly not a guitar for everyone, but kind of collectible due to Zakk not being with Gibson anymore (Wylde Audio) and because of the crazy design!
This is Artist Proof #5 that I purchased directly from a Gibson Custom Shop Employee who purchased it from his work a few years ago as part of an employee-only sale. Zakk never owned this guitar, but it was rumored that these 7 artist proofs were supposed to be his?

Do the evh shark plz
I have 2 zw's one is a white lp other is a v
There is a split-tail telecaster out there somewhere - it's pretty hilarious and they only want like $400 bucks for it lol
Guitar Center Announces Bankruptcy Again! Is your store closing? on youtube enjoy
How did they not put an explorer headstock on this thing
I love how in trogley’s mind Zach Wyld is strong arming Gibson into making these guitars against their will. lol
Not sure if someone already said it in the comments, but the camo Les Paul came out years before Dimebag passed away. He used it on the 1919 Eternal tour and I'm sure it was to help promote his military themed record and be a tribute to his Dad who fought in WWII and he participated in the events of D-Day at Omaha Beach as well as Normandy. Zakk even did a photo shoot with Dime on a guitar world magazine (which I still have) with that camo les paul in like 2002 or 2003.
There’s only 49 in existence of the normal custom run, 50 was destroyed in transit unfortunately, I have number 49.
Edited* not number 50 but one of them 👍🏻 haha, thanks for pointing this out.
#50 is for sale on Reverb right now reverb.com/item/34543048?_aid=growsumo&gs_partner=Trogly
@@Trog well then it wasn’t number 50 but it was one of them, Zakk himself told me.
@@Trog and thanks for pointing this out 😊
@@Catonius Bob Dylan once said "Be Groovy, Or Leave!"
@@Catonius Lol, Well, he sure as hell can't play harmonica! But he has written some pretty dang good songs, including All Along the Watchtower
Zakk Wylde is basically dimebag Darrell without a Floyd rose and with a bunch of gibsons. And I love it
Dont forget emg’s
There’s a really great video of Dime’s basement guitar vault. I’m trying to remember who did the video but there so many guitars with so many stories it’s a great watch. I’ll try to find and link it here
@@presmasterflash7555 it’s the ola Englund video
@@Spoonley yes I just looked it up
ua-cam.com/video/vULwfpOZ-jk/v-deo.html
Zakk and Dime were like bros if you didn't already knew
Damn that modern of doom looks sweet!!! The shape on that SGV is really growing on me!
That looks like something The Monarch from Venture Bros. would rock.
I would rock it
This.
Just replace the buzzsaw pattern with the Monarch’s insignia on that orange top dead center and it’s perfection.
Ever consider doing some reviews on his Wylde Audio guitars?
Ive asked him to review the black and purple zak audio sg looking guitar.
@@MP-vd1ck Zakk's fans are pretty diehard, it would be great to hear an unbiased review on his guitars (as Trogly has stated even though he respects Zakk as an artist, he isn't particularly a fan.)
@@OhhWeOhh im not a die hard zak fan but I do like Zacks BLS's albums and the Ozzy no more tears album but I also think no rest rest for the wicked is the worst Ozzy album Bob daisley wrote for that zak played on.
I asked him directly through Instagram why he left Gibson & the reason he personally gave me was that after all of those years he simply wanted to be able to have his own brand. Said something around the lines of time for the son to branch out on his own away from the father.
Say what you want about this axe, that's some serious metal tone coming from that beast. I dig it.
The location of the toggle switch is a Randy Rhoads thing.
I think you mean St. Rhodes.
And it certainly isn't to be used by your forearm. Zakk plays is guitars LOWWWW, meaning the angle of his arm is nowhere near the toggle. It is an odd place to put it though, considering how often Zakk switches pickups (often multiple times within a solo).
There's no justifying that placement 😂😂😂😂 none
So trogly some info for you. Dean Zelinsky of Dean guitars made the model the splittail for Zakk before Gibson did in a bid to get Zakk to move to Dean. Also I own the Wylde Audio Warhammer and I love it so much and built very much the same way as this Gibson ZV. Great Vid and I would love if you could compare a Wylde Audio guitar to a Gibson Zakk signature.
Edit: forgot to add the Dean version called the splittail had a muddy bullseye finish and can be seen being played in one of Zakk's National anthem covers. Also the pickup selector is placed where it is because that's where Randy Rhoads put his on the polka dot V by Karl Sandoval
@@IrisGalaxis honestly no idea
It looks likes the soundgarden bad motor finger album cover in the middle
Perfect timing, I was just re-watching the Zakk camo bullseye this morning!
there is something comforting about this channel. and I'm not even a gibson fan
This has now become my favorite demo/review from Trogly, because this is his most shreddy one.
Your playing is getting fantastic Trog, great review as always
ABOUT TIME YOU REVIEWED THIS
Thanks for a very nice review! I love my SGV Buzzsaw #10 signed on the back by Zakk. Bought it last fall after a music store in Sweden went out of business. Has been standing behind glass since 2008 and "wasn´t" played. I just love it when i´m in a Heavy Metal mood!
I must say, the sound you got out of that guitar were one of the best I have heard on your channel!
The arm toggle is straight up a solid feature.
looked like you had fun playing it!
I played one of the 50 in Guitar Center in Spokane Washington when they first came out, i loved it
I would love to see a Wylde Audio review from you.
Thinking in getting one of these for my channel. Thanks for the review!
Awesome playing demo!
That one wild instrument! And that's a fact Zakk!!!!!
You can't read active p-ups with a meter like passives. There is active circuitry between the coils and the output leads so that dog don't hunt...
IN LOVE EMG PICKUPS THEY SOUND SICCCCKCKCKKCKCKCKCK
Damm trogly. Really stepped up your demo playing in this one! Very nice
Mmmmm that's a tasty axe
Dime bag tribute is nothing short of hell yeah! Get u a pull
trogly YOU SHREDDED that tremolo picking riffff!!!
Trogly's in the HOUSE!!!
When I first saw these, even as a metal fan, I thought they were a little obnoxious, but seeing this up close, I really really like it! I especially like the offset SG horns.
I have always loved the EMG 85 in the neck or the bridge.... The EMG 81 is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
I really dig this shape because when I was in jr high school I drew this exact shape. With the strap button location neck diving should not be a problem.👍🤘
That is a very cool axe. Love it great video mate. Hello from the United Kingdom
It has to be the oder way the Orange First and then the Black !
His Wylde Audio are still my favorite guitars Ive ever played. I have the barbarian and aaaaabsolutey loooovebit
Sounds great!
Zakk is a metal monster legend!...his new wylde audio guitars from shelter are pretty good quality...
Welcome back, chocolate ice!
Woooooo!
it's got style and I'm loving it
The molar SG
The Buzzsaw design was inspired after a zippo Zakk found at a gas station on tour from what I remember reading in a magazine about the time this guitar was made. He was talking about the Les Paul in the interview.
That´s what I also heard from his earlier photo guy (my friend) that followed Zakk W under this period.
I always thought the Wylde signatures looked cheesy, but listening to the demo on this one made me want to play. The EMGs sounded pretty good! I grew to like the over-the-top finish, too. It's something different.
The shape is definitely not my style, but I do like the idea of mixing and matching models to create a new shape. Maybe a cross between an SG and an Explorer or Firebird would've looked a bit less cumbersome?
Attempted "zakk wylde" approved 🤘😆
Apparently Zakk was shopping between Gibson and Dean at that time because Dean also did a similar design that actually went into production for a short while, they called it the splittail
What it was that Dime got one made for Zakk by Dean. I'm sure there is even a video somewhere of Dime giving it to Zakk. I think because of contractual agreements Zakk got Gibson to make him one he could legally play.
@@Rolli6669 Sounds legit, they were close.
Dean made the splittals before Gibson started making the SGV and they were very similar, the splittail has a smaller waist and a Dean V headstock which fits the guitar much better IMO thats about the difference there is. I have a transparent red one myself.
@@Stefan- Completely agree that Dean's headstock suits the design much better
@@WalkenDead My main guitars that i pretty much always play are Dean classic shaped V´s and i think the V headstock especially suits the classic V. When you love V´s how can you not love two V´s in one even more ? :-)
I think ya might have missed a model in the Zakk line up, the Black and mirror bullseye Les Paul. I missed them when they came out and the shop wasn't sure if they were releasing more or not. Well , never happened as far as I know and the first run was a small one. Unfortunately the only Zakk Wylde guitar I have is the Epiphone version of the Grail. I bought it back in 2004 brand new, still have it too, wouldn't sell it. I have a few of his pedals and Zakk was kind enough to sign my Marshall jcm800 4010 combo. Seems like anything he has made seems to work for me!
Great video, cheers!
That looks badass guitar. I would love to own one someday🤟
That's a serious heavy metal handicap you got there Trickystringz.
Trogly. Yeesssss
The buzzsaw design came off a Zippo ligjter. Zakk saw & dug it.
Bro.
I'm not even a metal guitarist, but that is a fucking cool guitar. I appreciate the history of his models - thanks Austin
I was in the Gibson custom shop in 08. And played the original prototype before they sent it to Zac. It’ was weird and wild and makes sense for him ha
Pretty damn awesome!
I have an epiphone ZV all black. Not a bad beater guitar at all. Also have a buzz saw like shown on the ZV (orange and black) epi LP.
I only wish that I could have came across some gibson zakk guitars for a good price. Hard to spend top dollar or more for a extreme design. Thanks for sharing 🤘
Do you use the same setup for all your guitars or different ones for active or passive?Like do you use software where you'll set up different amps and pedals for clean and dirty depending or just do them all on the same?
Pretty cool guitar
If I remember what I heard elsewhere, Zakk wanted a spiral design, but his friend painted on a bullseye and that stuck.
As for neck dive, as you once said, the weight in a Les Paul is in the maple top, so I’m guessing a maple neck is heavier than a mahogany one (I don’t have blanks laying around to compare.)
Croikee! That 9V is tight
I was at the Ozzy 2008 gig in Melbourne Australia ( yeah im from Australia) at the end of Paranoid Zakk unplugged one of these and threw it into the audience. Was bit of an experience seeing one of these fly through the air then about 500 people swam for it

Czech Austin out!... pulling off some shredder riffs!
Love this design😊😊 its a metal guitar bro, metal out on it man!!!!!!
You’re sound is always so much better when you play EMG equipped guitars 🤘🏻.
Crazy guitar
Are you going to review the epiphone r9 being made with the GCS
I love your show.
Nice
Your playing is awesome. Give yourself some credit.
I would love to own one of these guitars. There’s a Pelham blue version that I’m absolutely in love with and I think there’s only one or two owned by Zakk. It’s a pipe dream but a guy can be aloud to dream
I love it! one of the best designs I've ever seen. Good on you Zak! If I wasn't living on $509 a month disability, I would buy one in a heartbeat. Love it!
I love them 💯
if only they had done orange binding on the neck..
The flying Sgee !
I love that so much
I HAVE A QUESTION!!!! I am looking for a certain guitar or models similar and I was wondering if I had to pay you for help with that. I am very new to guitar and am very unfamiliar with models and such. So would I have to pay you like your website says or just email?
I wonder why you got the Gibson version rather than the Wylde Audio version.. Great demo, as always..
I asked Trogly to do a review of a zak audio black Barbarian guitar on the cine massacre plays channel.
The solid body happens in production when the builder runs out of body blanks and grabs a premium solid blank from the same room to save time. I've called and asked Gibson about this back in 2014, and that's what they told me.
My local pawn shop has had the black and white Eppihone version in stock for a phat minute
I read an interview where Zakk said he got the idea for this design from a friends Zippo lighter, that had this buzzsaw graphic on it.
Get some!!
I would play crazy train on that for sure
Been following Zakk since 87 roughly lol...that edge profile is called a chamfer, most are 45 deg..it's a crazy guitar, i played his Les Paul and the neck was massive and the guitar was heavy and if you add that chain strap he uses its gotta weigh 25 lb.. lol...
the foam under the battery is to stop it from shorting anything out...not for leakage.
You should do epiphone's new prophecy range of sg's, lp's, v's and the new futura/ explorer mash up the Extura. I'd like to see you review the proprietary Fishman fluance pickups
I'm now waiting on you to review a high end Dean ML, Trogly - I honestly think you're gonna fall in love with the shape. Putting an explorer-style shape and a V-style shape together sounds goofy until you play one. Gotta work on your rock stance for THAT video 😉
I’d rock it
I am ozzies no 1 fan but never heared of zakk wylde. It would have been a more desireable guitar if gibson made the neck binding orange or black too ,,,including headstock. His own brand guitars have these incredible beautiful wood gain showing through the paint
5:10 Ha! Nice one
YEAH!!
The limited edition Pulled Tooth by Gibson!
Dime came up with that shape for Zakk thats what i read in Gtr World Mag,
That would be awesome with a 25.5" scale length
I remember before these were released a video surfaced of Zakk playing a Dean version with a splatter bullseye and then these just dropped and Dean released a “split tail” model that was similar
More wah and distortion in your demos please ✌️lol
Needs stereo chorus too.
Yea just add more unnecessary effects that make every guitar sound the same. Very good idea for demo purposes.
@@surinaam1186 wah and distortion are “unnecessary”?
The buzzsaw paintjob was from a lighter. I can't remember if it was Zakk's lighter or one of the Doom Crew.
Not usually a huge fan of EMG's but that sounded effing wicked. Trogly dude, you played better than I've heard in a while so it clearly resonated with you on some level. I agree about the design though, not my cup of tea. I prefer the 'Bullseye' LP too.
It makes me chuckle when you refer to ZW as "this guy". I mean, he's just a living legend of the metal guitar community, but hey, we have surely heard about this guy
He likes zak wylde he played no more tears in this video and said zakk wylde is a good singer in another video.
