if you would have told young dave mustaine that he was going to one day be the frontman of megadeth and have his own signature guitars, he would have punched you
I just played this at my local shop today as a matter of fact. They just got it in used. Dave Mustain took twenty of them on his last tour and played everyone. He then signed the back of the headstock and numbered them and the one I played was #17. Very cool. $1675. The Blackout p/u's are very high output and sound great.
This guy failed at the simplest megadeth song, symphony of destruction. He did ok on the solos for headcrusher, and dialectic chaos, but horrible on the dialectic chaos and symphony riff. FAIL
@sweenietodd Its got great balance no doubt, but i find that when you tune down, the livewire pickups become very muddy. so not a good tune down, you can barley get away with stuff being clear in drop d
@TheNohcim yeaah its alot cooler looking guitar ;P yeah invaders or aktive wouldnt be wrong with black outs, or even the Jb's and the 59's, well either way seymour duncan make grate pickups^^
@NoktemAeternus I have a ltd explorer and it is alright. But i played this guitar a while back and it just has a different feel to it that is different from the ltd model. Rumor has it that this guitar is suppose to be more like his ibanez destroyer that he had back in his early Metallica days. Alongside with his b.c. rich bich.
would any one say for the sound and what the guitar comes with or whatever , would this be better the kirk Hammett KH 602 and/or the ml dean Dimebonics guitar. i need a good heave and clean tone guitar but also with great playability and a head turning look (but i dont need it ) and if any one could please also give me a good suggestion of an amp that can b heard over a pair of drums (Marshall , mesa boogie , krank , line 6 ) whatever as long it has that Metallica , Megadeth tone. thanks
Dave fucked up. just like when he fucked up with ESP and came out with an X warrior shit guitar! He should stick to Flying V Design. Its epic and makes him look more intense!
Dude the v's cant be too much better. I love the zero cause you can really sit down and relax plus the bigger body gives great resonance. I hate how uncomfortable v's are
@valdivia562 If you know how to set a guitar up (truss rod, intonation etc) then you shouldn't have any bother. Guitars are shipped all over the world from manufacturing plants to shops. Just make sure when it arrives you leave it a while in your house to be accustomed to that level of temperature and humidity, before you set it up.
@valdivia562 Its an important skill to learn. Just practice on a cheap instrument "just in case". Guitars change through time, especially if you move them about for gigs, and every now and then (especially if like me you like a low action) you will need to adjust it.
Lol at playing the dialectic chaos riff and not the solo, fail much for a guitar demo?
The tone is extremely mediocre, I imagine it's probably because either the sound was screwed or the amp wasnt cranked. Either way, want this frikin guitar!
JAJAj this is one awesome machine for its price, but this dude sucks, He is obviously in learning stages but what really makes me wanna hit his face are the ridiculous faces he makes when soloing.
do you guys have daves angel of deth? i love that guitar to deth and i wonderd if yall ever do any speecial deals or anything for people who dont have the financial means to come across a guitar
It really looks nothing like James' old Explorers. ESPs are huge, bulky (in a good way), and this to me just looks a bit too sharp and anorexic. Every Explorer has a different personality, and these two are completely different.
But onto the guitar, I think it'd look a shitload better with a typical Explorer headstock, or at least a proper single-pointed one.
At first I hated the shape of this guitar, but it's really nice and an amazing player. I just think Dave should stick to his V's, but he uses this for the Endgame stuff. It also is sexy in silver
Yea finally some dude that plays Metal with a Dave Mustaine guitar! Nice review! I guessed you learned it by ear or changed it up a bit because you played most parts wrong from how Dave plays it but still way to go!
@XpcrewX yea but esp no longer sells the exp anymore and i have no idea how dave got this shape without copyright cause if this passes the copy right esp should have used this shape instead of the current ex shape
@XpcrewX i know right haha he even insults him in a video saying how he customized this guitar to make it look like it doesnt belong in a church choir like the explorer
@OliverFranzon Hey man, I got an angel of deth VMNT and trust me it fuckin rules, plays better than almost any guitar I have played till now. The list includes, gibson, aria, ibanez, jackson, washburn,etc.
It really took me a while to decide b/w a jackson and this dean vmnt but I think I have made the right choice.
