New Dave Mustaine signature models

[Lucius Paisley]

I like the green, so much so that I'm thinking of having a repaint job done in some shade of green, if not that one.

I do not like the white in the centre, however.

Yeah, the color is kinda rad. It just doesnt make think of rust in peace

It doesn't help that it's a completely different green for a start, but still...

Yeah, that's what said initially above your first post. That small crytal in Vic's hand is the only green, the rest is yellow and blue. I couldn't care less about the exct shade of green though - I have trouble discriminating between shades of green and also tbetween the different shades of red...

I like the Kramer. That one I'd be interested in. Very nicely done. Don't care for the Explorer style headstock on the Gibson V though.

 

[Der Oberherr]

There's an acoustic too apparently.

 

[Mincer]

I have to say, I like these better than the Deans, but not as much as the Jacksons.

 

[EmiAba]

Don't like them, I think because of the headstock. Anyway I wonder if they are loaded with the thrash factor combo or Gibson replaced SD pickups with their own just like the Slash signature guitars

Yes because Megadeth play a lot of acoustic stuff

 

[St_Genesius]

Hey man, thrash songs need intros too.

But yeah, I didn't bother pasting the acoustic from the linked article because a) it's not very interesting and b) insofar as a signature artist has ANY bearing on the appeal of the instrument (they mostly don't, for me) it seemed like a mismatch.

How many of you actually read the stuff instead of just ogling the pictures. The acoustic has 24 frets.... which necessitated a change in the internal bracing. For me - that is telling when Gibson makes a deal with a metal guy on an acoustic guitar that is a new ground up design. THAT is a commitment many companies wouldn't even attempt. I am impressed as hell with Gibson over that.

I made it as far as the stupid quote about KISS and Gibson bei g "the best period" and started skimming.

Green finish is cool, but the guitar is ugly. Looks like something Gibson would have thought up in the '80s and only produced for 6 months.

Kramer looks great! Why couldn't they have stuck with that design and just put the other finishes/inlays on it? Heck, they could've made a proper Kramer USA model instead of a "Gibson" version and really helped strengthen the brand.

Yet they can't figure out how to allow reasonable access to all 24 frets on the electrics. Real innovation

Plus, I love how the marketing starts with a photo of Dave holding a guitar you can't even buy...his REAL signature model?

 

[Securb]

The silver is sexy af.

Because that would dilute their “Play Authentic”, only Gibson and Epiphone get to use the real V shape.

Dave gave the thumbs up on the design so apparently HE can play it, even if YOU can't.

 

[Masta' C]

How long until we get the Dave Mustaine Explorer?

Thanks for that intelligent response. :smash:

Maybe the Explorer headstock is Mustaine's preferred shape? The only Mustaine signature guitar that didn't have that kind of six tuners on one side is the Axxion model.

Maybe it is the pictures but I didn't like the inlays on the fretboard on the Kramer or the Gibsons.
