Dave Mustaine

He used this since 2012

Used in the early days, coupled with Marshall JMP800

I saw Megadeth in the early 90s during the countdown to extinction tour and Dave was using a Jackson king v STD PRO.

This is practically the only acoustic guitar that Dave plays nowadays. It features spruce top, mahogany back and sides, 25-1/4? scale mahogany neck with ebony fretboard, Grover Tuners, and B-Band A3TY Preamp.

Dave played this guitar for a short period of time around 2001, but it was later auctioned of together with rest of his Jacksons.

**Dave used a couple of more prototypes before the Y2KV was fully shaped and completed. Most of them were completely black, and shared most of the specs with the previously mentioned prototype – only notable differences were in the body shape.

The KV1 line was produced from 1996 to 2001, and it was relatively big commercial success. Dave himself still prefered his old Customs over the KV1, but he did use a couple of them nonetheless.

Dave used a couple of these guitars starting with the “Youthanasia” tour, and up until early 2000s.

This was according to Dave’s own words his main guitar, which he on almost all of the stuff since “Peace Sells… but Who’s Buying?”

Dave Mustaine's latest signature. His "Zero", Dean's modernised version of the Gibson Explorer. It features the artwork of Megadeth's latest album, Dystopia, released January 22, 2016.

The Dean Dave Mustaine ZERO Angel of Deth II Electric Guitar was designed by Mustaine in a collaboration with the master builders at Dean. Everything about the Dave Mustaine Zero simply works, from the stellar graphics to the right combination of woods, electronics, and style.

Unique features include a 25-1/2" scale, a modified Z-style body with sharper angles and edges, a special set mahogany "D-shaped" neck, and a headstock with in-line tuners. DMT Design pickups and the string-through body produce unbeatable sustain. The dual volume, single tone, and 3-way switch is the control configuration that Dave prefers.

A must-have for any true Megadeth fan! This guitar features a solid Mahogany body and neck with a stunning Rosewood fingerboard. The DMT Design pickups scream heavy-metal-shred while the contours of the guitar give easy, comfortable access to all 24 frets! This axe also comes with a bold, custom ?In Deth We Trust? graphic to melt your eyes as well as your ears! Get your wings today!

Megadeth’s guitarist and founder Dave Mustaine plays a signature Dean VMNT. He stands behind the products he uses, saying at (0:55) “if you're going to endorse anything you need to be able to stand behind that product. I could be sued if anybody found out that the product was fraudulent, which, this stuff isn't. It's great musical instruments and I totally stand by it.” Mustaine uses Seymour Duncan Livewire pickups. “I never really was an active guy,” he says at (1:26), “and then they gave me this pickup and it was like the ones I was using but with a little more "oomph" to it, you know, and it was cool to have a guitar that sounded the way I wanted it to sound without me having to adjust the amp a lot. This is one of those guitars you can just plug in and it sounds good.”

Saw him backstage in 1993 with his guitar tech and i looked at his collection of Jackson guitars that he used during the gig and i asked him which is your favorite one he said "probably my signature king v with the megadeth sticker on the wing".

Here is a picture of Mustaine holding an Ibanez Destroyer, during the Metallica days.

Dave usually played custom painted guitars styling American flag designs, and one black one with Floyd Rose tremolo and “Shut Up” sticker between the two humbuckers.
