Iceman rip off, and it's still ugly.
 
Re: new ESP dave mustaine-designed guitar pics....

It's very..... metal. I suppose. I'm not fond of it, really. I tend to prefer the more classic shapes. I do like the DV8 sig guitar he's got.
 
Re: new ESP dave mustaine-designed guitar pics....

I'm sorry you guys, but I really like it! I like extraordanairy guitars as long as they're not over the top, and this thing looks pretty cool. Never thought Dave would play anything but a V though, I haven't seen him without one for like 20 years or so. Even in the studio, and those things are a b*tch to play when sitting down.

@DiminisheD-7th: Heard the new album and I really like his work man. This guy was born to do Speed Metal-ish riffs and he's still doing a rather excellent job right now. His solos are kind of overshadowed by Chris Poland (but the're little players who wouldn't be), so he's not doing much soloing.

can mustaine even play guitar properly these days?

Listen to the new Megadeth record "The System Has Failed". That should answer your question. :headbang:
 
Re: new ESP dave mustaine-designed guitar pics....

I like it; it's definitely reminiscent of his old BC Rich's ... but it has a very ergonomic look to it, if you don't mind playing standing up all the time. I would play one.
 
Re: new ESP dave mustaine-designed guitar pics....

Looks like a cross between a Mockingbird, a Stealth/Warrior, and an Iceman. I'd play it, looks pretty cool.
 
Re: new ESP dave mustaine-designed guitar pics....

Looks like he couldn´t decide between a Warrior and an Iceman, and started looking at the Wave and Death Angel shapes.

I personally don´t like it, but I don´t doubt that it´s a good guitar ;)
 
Re: new ESP dave mustaine-designed guitar pics....

I hope it's got the same specs as his DV8, man if that thing wasn't a V I would've bought it immediately. It'd be perfect with a figured maple cap, like his new limited V line.

Oh, fu*k, yes. :headbang: And after Sept. 14, you'll see why I answer so emphatically.

As for the guitar, it kind of reminds me of a cross between a B.C. Rich Virgo and an Ibanez Iceman. I'm not crazy about the shape, but face facts, it'll probably be solid mahogany, ebony fretboard, JB + Jazz pickup config, ESP on the headstock.... the body is the ONLY thing not to like about that guitar. It's a solid buy, I'm sure.

Is the body really so bad that it would warrant the "vomiting" emoticon? That's a bit of an extreme reaction isn't it? B.C Rich, Jackson, ESP and even Ibanez have shapes that severe and worse out already. Dave's new sig. isn't THAT blinding.
 
Re: new ESP dave mustaine-designed guitar pics....

I think it looks cool, but that's not a very good pic of the axe. Save judgement for a better pic.
 
Re: new ESP dave mustaine-designed guitar pics....

Needs a hot chick in the ad if you ask me. Dave's not as purty as he used to be.
