who knows.
I've had friends on Gibson and with Gib signature guitars and they all told a similar tale of dissatisfaction -so Good luck Dave -maybe things are better over their now.Last edited by NegativeEase; 02-25-2021, 11:03 AM.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

I *do* think that someone who as as big as Dave is, deserves a good deal. His name can sell some gear, much more than a lot of signature artists out there. If his old deal expired, or if Dean fell short and didn't deliver what was agreed upon, then certainly, move on.
We will never know what the reason for switching is, though. I just hope he wasn't the one who broke the deal.Administrator of the SDUGF

Either his contract was up and one party declined to renew, or one of the 2 parties broke the contract. All we can do is speculate. He is one of those people that doesn't have to put out any more new music, ever, and guitarists will still know who he is. That's gold to him as well as whatever company he works with.Administrator of the SDUGF

How long was he with Jackson? Or Dean? Does it hurt the perception of his fans that he has worked with a few companies? I mean, EVH did, long after he stopped putting out newer music. I know all of this comes down to just business, but I am guessing his fans will follow him no matter what brand.Administrator of the SDUGF

I mean... Everyone knows Dave Mustaine is an enormous *******, right? Even (especially?) his fans. Dudes a big ol' ball of whiny ego and no amount of throat cancer or veneer of Jesus is gonna change that.

The most popular thread I've ever made was 1) a joke and 2) based around literally the most inane/mundane question I could think of. That says something about me, or all of you, or both.

This thread is heading in a weird direction with all this speculation. Who cares why he's with Gibson now? That's just the way it is.
The guy has been putting his signature on gear for 30+ years. In my opinion, Dean was LUCKY to have him for so long!
We don't talk trash about George Lynch and that dude flip-flops endorsements like a mad-man!

When a new guitar is released, the internet has two jobs:
1) Complain about access to the frets you barely touch anyway, even though no one has played one yet.
2) Go off-topic into some other, tenuously related topic.
We've done #1 already, so now it's time for #2.

Mustaine can have all endorsement contracts he wants. I don't care. All my attention is for the gear

Easy answer, because a giant private equity firm bought Gibson brands, went to social media to threaten the industry, and then quickly filed a somewhat unprecedented US trademark infringement lawsuit on a much smaller maker for a trademark that has not been enforced ever in 40 years until this group -which by the way -affects at least 200 other boutique makers.
And now they sign away one of that company they are suing's premier signature artist during the trademark lawsuit.
It is completed unrelated to typical things like George Lynch swapping brands.
I mean seriously, this is as high drama in the Guitar and music merchant business world as it gets.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard
