Dave Padden

Wikipedia mentions Dave as a Dean endorser as of late, and Dean themselves have done a couple video interviews with him. Their are many other pictures that show him utilizing various Deans, most notably, as mentioned by Wikipedia, their Deciever line.

Dave is mentioned to have an affinity also for Dean's Z line, though admittedly what exact models he uses is unclear.

In a few pictures Dave Padden himself can also be seen with guitars from the Dave Mustaine signature series, most notably the Angel of Deth.

At one point, along with partner in crime Jeff Waters, Dave had an endorsement with Ran guitars. It is unclear what exact models he used, but it is known he preferred their Explorer influenced models, the Thor being one Explorer type model Ran offers.

During his time as an Epiphone endorsee, Dave was known to prefer their Explorer based models, the Futura being one of them.

Their are plenty if pictures of Dave during his time as an Epiphone artist. He used a couple different models and it's highly likey that the Limited Edition Pro Explorer was one of them, given it's unique silver finish.
