2011 Gibson Les Paul Custom Zakk Wylde Vertigo Signature Maple Neck Prototype Built For Zakk ZWVTO Serial 000
Unique guitar and impossible to find. This guitar was made for Zakk Wylde, as Gibson wrote - it was made in 2011 (before 2012 Vertigo series Run) and it has ZWVTO 000 serial number written below regular serial by golden numbers. We have Gibson customer support answer, but you can ask them yourself. Guitar was a part of big collection of Germany guitar shop owner since 2012, then it was bought in 2016 and shipped to Ukraine, where stored in another big collection till nowadays. Now guitar looking for new home. Last owner never played on it, but frirst - did, guitar has few marks in lacquer and usual for nitro - lines in lacquer. It's only one reason why price is below 10 k, so plz do not lowball offers.
Guitar comes with case, docs.
From Gibson:
To craft the body of the Zakk Wylde Vertigo Les Paul, Gibson USA starts with the timeless pairing of a solid Grade-A maple top and a mahogany back, which work together to blend sonic depth, richness and clarity. A solid one-piece, quarter-sawn Grade-A maple neck is glued in with a traditional mortis & tenon joint, and carved to measure .818” at the 1st fret and .963” at the 12th. It is finished in natural satin for a comfortable, played-in feel, and topped with a Grade-A maple fingerboard with Zakk’s preferred custom fret wire. In addition to the striking Vertigo graphic atop a natural finish, and the back’s contrasting Ebony Black finish—all in genuine nitrocellulose lacquer—the Zakk Wylde Vertigo Les Paul carries several Custom-style appointments such as 7-ply top binding, 5-ply back binding, multi-bound headstock with acrylic inlays. Furthermore, the back of the headstock displays a black Zakk silhouette decal, and the entire run will have a unique sequential serial numbering from “ZWVTO 001” on up.
The Zakk Wylde Vertigo Les Paul is powered by Zakk’s choice of an EMG-85™ humbucker in the neck and an EMG-81™ humbucker in the bridge, partnered by independent volume and tone controls for each, and a three-way selector switch. These active humbuckers are the first choice of many thrash, shred and metal players, and they yield unparalleled output and sustain for utterly demolishing neck pickup tones and incendiery bridge tones, yet with impressive clarity and a frequency response unmatched by any other pickup available. It all stays locked and loaded in the hardware department with the classic pairing of Tune-o-matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece, along with a set of high-quality Grover™ tuners with kidney buttons.
