Inspired By Zakk Wylde ZV Buzzsaw

Posted by Jon in • Crazy Guitar Designs

Gibson Zakk Wylde Buzzsaw
Last month I featured a couple of Gibson’s “Inspired By” series guitars, the Kiefer Sutherland KS336 and the Okuda Tamio Les Paul OT Special. Well Gibson just added the Zakk Wylde ZV Buzzsaw pictured above to the range which has to be one of the ugliest guitars Gibson have ever produced.  The ZV in case you aren’t aware is a Zakk Wylde creation that is a cross between the classic Gibson Flying V and SG guitars. I’m not sure where or when the orange buzzsaw graphic came about but I have seen it on an Epiphone Zakk Les Paul and it is just nasty compared to his classic black and white bullseye design.

So how does this guitar shape up, well it is solid mahogany, ebony finish top and back with a 3 piece maple neck. The fingerboard is single bound ebony
with pearl block inlays. It has EMG 81 and EMG 85 active humbuckers and a V shaped tail plate with Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge. I’m sure some metal heads or Zakk fans will want this guitar but its not going on my wishlist.

They say “This guitar is something a little different for Gibson, but it’s a lot of fun!“

A Gibson equipped with EMGs is just wrong.

But look at it? you wouldn’t even know it was a Gibson! Looks more like a Dean to me…

I don’t know why but I don’t like it that much, I think that it is because of those curvy lines of the bullseye, plus the curvy lines of the body near the neck that don’t match the V shape…
