The 25.5” scale mahogany neck has an ebony fretboard with a compound fretboard radius, 24 medium jumbo frets, mother of pearl “teeth” inlays, an Explorer-style headstock with Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners with Kidney buttons, and a Graph Tech® nut. The mahogany Flying V-style body is equipped with a Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, a Stop Bar tailpiece, and a set of Dave Mustaine Signature Seymour Duncan® Thrash Factor pickups. The Flying V’s are available in both an Antique Natural and a Silver Metallic nitrocellulose lacquer finish which are complemented by black chrome hardware. A hardshell case is also included.
Renowned worldwide and synonymous with metal guitar, Dave Mustaine founded Megadeth in 1984 and less than a year a later debuted with the release of Killing Is My Business… And Business Is Good! in 1985. Megadeth has gone on to sell more than 50 million albums worldwide, earning many accolades along the way, including a GRAMMY® Award for the title track from their most recent album Dystopia, along with 12 additional GRAMMY® nominations, as well as five consecutive platinum/multi-platinum albums. Megadeth has headlined many of the biggest stages in the world and recently played their most successful tour ever, closing every night on the North American amphitheater “Metal Tour of the Year”. Also, a New York Times bestselling author and sought after speaker, host, and commentator, Mustaine has remained a standard bearer for metal and heavy guitar rock, combining a musical and technical standard with the punk and rock n’ roll ethos and attitude. As vital and pace–setting as ever, Megadeth’s last album Dystopia matched the highest chart positions ever achieved by the band.
Megadeth is currently working on their 16th studio album. Listen to Megadeth, Here and catch Megadeth on the 2022 Metal Tour Of The Year launching Saturday, April 9 in Las Vegas, NV. Watch and share the Dave Mustaine episode of “Icons” on Gibson TV, HERE.Explore the Dave Mustaine Collection HERE.
