Description
Few guitarists have had as enduring a career as Dave Mustaine, Megadeth's guitar-shredding, Flying-V loving frontman. Gibson's all-new Dave Mustaine Flying V EXP pays tribute to the legendary performer, and its sleek design, snarling pickups, and stark aesthetic make it the ideal axe for metal musicians and Megadeth enthusiasts alike.
The Dave Mustaine Flying V starts with a mahogany body, giving it a thunderous sound with deep lows, punchy mids, and loads of juicy sustain. High-gain players will love riffing on its ultra-thin SlimTaper mahogany neck that feels wonderfully quick in hand, perfect for playing blistering solos and split-second chord changes. It also features a velvety-smooth ebony fingerboard that plays with a lightning-quick response and adds plenty of top-end articulation to its sound. And, with stylish and aggressive mother-of-pearl teeth inlays, the Dave Mustaine Flying V offers that classic, mean look Jackson fans have come to know and love.
Powering the Dave Mustaine Flying V is a pair of Seymour Duncan Thrash Factor Humbuckers that churn out a brutal array of face-melting tones. These pickups have undergone an altered winding process to perfectly replicate the sound Mustaine's playing on the legendary Rust in Peace record, resulting in a strikingly similar tone with tighter lows, slightly scooped mids, and crunchy, aggressive highs. Whether you're seeking that snarling thrash metal bite or thick, grinding doom, the Seymour Duncan Thrash Factor Humbuckers are more than capable of delivering the goods.
Complete with a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, Grover mini Rotomatic tuners, and a heavy-duty hardshell case for safe and easy transport, the Gibson Dave Mustaine Flying V EXP is the epitome of hardcore music. Whether you're a gigging professional or an avid collector, this beast is a top-notch guitar, built to turn heads.
