Dave Mustaine is the legendary guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and founder of the multi-platinum selling and Grammy Award-winning band, MEGADETH. His new Gibson Dave Mustaine Flying V EXP Limited Edition delivers the powerful, heavy sound and exceptional playing performance that he demands. The 25.5” scale mahogany neck has a bound ebony fretboard with 24 frets, Mother of Pearl inlays, an Explorer-style headstock with Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, and a Graph Tech TUSQ nut. Dave Mustaine's signature is reproduced on the truss rod cover, and Dave's silhouette is featured on the back of the headstock. The mahogany Flying V-style body has a maple cap (figured maple on the Red Amber Burst version) and is equipped with a Tune-O-Matic bridge, a string through body Chevron tailpiece, and a Dave Mustaine signature Seymour Duncan Thrash Factor pickup set. The Red Amber Burst nitrocellulose lacquer finish is complemented by gold hardware, while the Ebony VOS finished model is equipped with nickel hardware. A Dave Mustaine hardshell case is also included. Only 75 of each color will be crafted by the expert luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop as part of this very special limited run.
