With it&#8217;s double-cutaway &#8220;SG&#8221; top-half allowing for complete fingerboard access and it&#8217;s radical &#8220;Flying-V&#8221; bottom-half for extreme attitude, the ZV Custom has an aggressive look like no other. As with Zakk&#8217;s signature Les Pauls, the body is carved from solid Mahogany and fitted with a glued-in hard Maple neck. The combination provides for deep, rich tone with added brightness and sustain that only comes with a set-neck guitar.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i189.photobucket.com\/albums\/z89\/themetalden2007\/N_ZV1.jpg\" alt=\"tmd\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nTo compliment these tone woods and provide the kind of high-output necessary for Zakk&#8217;s style, the ZV Custom is equipped with a set of EMG-HZ humbuckers including HZ-4 pickup in the bridge position and a 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 instrument, the ZV Custom uses Epiphone&#8217;s new pate mt-applied-for LockTone tune-o-matic that &#8220;locks&#8221; the bridge on the posts and makes string changes a breeze while a string-thru body design ensures ultimate string to body vibrations.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i189.photobucket.com\/albums\/z89\/themetalden2007\/N_ZV2.jpg\" alt=\"tmd\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nZakk has always preferred a natural. satin-finish neck and the ZV Custom is no exception. With it&#8217;s SlimTaper neck profile, it&#8217;s as smooth and as fast as Zakk himself. Both the neck and the Grover equipped six-on-a-side headstock are bound to crete a smooth and finished appearance while &#8220;LP custom&#8221; mother-of-pearl inlays adorn the headstock and the 12&#8243; radius Rosewood fingerboard. Epiphone&#8217;s new StrapLocks are standard equipment making sure that this beast stays on it&#8217;s leash &#8211; even under the most extreme stage situations. To add the final touch to this one-of-a-kind axe, a custom- designed, fitted hard case with ZV-inspired artwork and metal chain handle round out the package.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.epiphone.com\/images\/N_ZV6.jpg\" alt=\"tmd\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>Contact your authorized Epiphone <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epiphone.com\/dealers.asp?ProductID=HOME\">Dealer<\/a> to find out more about the new Zakk Wylde ZV Custom Electric Guitar.<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Zakk Wylde ZV Custom combines two of the most distinguishable guitar shapes into&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15443\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
