DISC Dean V Dave Mustaine, Peace Sells

Full Description

V Series Body Shape

This new addition to Dave Mustaine's lineup is complete with an eye-catching custom Peace Sells graphic, certain to stand out on any stage. Its V-shaped mahogany body provides a lightweight guitar that can be played all night long. This iconic body is also ideal for soloists who require full access to the entire fingerboard. A Mustaine-inspired design based on Megadeth's 1986 album cover 'Peace Sells', a killer appearance with a powerful sound to match.

DMT Design Pickups

Loaded with a pair of DMT Design pickups in the neck and bridge position, you can achieve an aggressive, powerful sound. Perfect for metal fans and heavier genres, the Dean V Dave Mustaine delivers a punchy character with plenty of low-end and sparkling highs. In addition, the DMT design pickups also deliver a meaty, vicious tone, worthy of legendary Megadeth artist - Dave Mustaine.

Custom Dave Mustaine D-Profile Neck

With a set-in mahogany neck sculpted to Dave Mustaine's unique specification, the Dean VMNT PS maintains the resonance and durability of thicker D shaped necks, but with a slightly thinner profile. This results in smoother playability and easy access to the higher frets. A 25.5" scale length and jatoba fingerboard with custom Dave Mustaine pearl dot inlays, you are certain to be shredding with ease. Mustaine himself raves that this may be his favourite neck ever.

String Thru Construction

The V Dave Mustaine incorporates a string-thru body construction to provide improved tonality and sustain. Additionally, the string-thru bridge offers enhanced tone and sustain by transferring vibrations and resonance from the string to the body. Its tune-o-matic bridge also offers string and tuning stability.
