Peach Guitars | The Dave Mustaine Collection

Gibson really do treat us when it comes to signature models, don’t they! Whether it’s a Slash model, another Kirk Hammett or even an Adam Jones or Jerry Cantrell, the options just keep on coming, and trust me, we’re not complaining!

Another prolific artist who joined the illustrious ranks of Gibson signature artists more recently is Dave Mustaine, imperious leader of MEGADETH and former Metallica axeman.

With a career spanning over 35 years Dave Mustaine has established himself as one of the godfathers of Thrash Metal. Widely known for his work with MEGADETH, his fleet-fingered lead playing, grizzled vocals and brutal songwriting has inspired a generation of new guitar players. The Dave Mustaine Collection is Gibson’s tribute to one of metal's most important personalities.

At the time of writing we have 3 exceptional offerings from this collection and we’d love to put the spotlight on them for you now!

First up, the Epiphone Dave Mustaine Flying V Prophecy, a high quality variation that doesn’t carry the USA built upcharge. With a solid Mahogany body, and 3A Flame Maple Veneer, this model is finished in a stunning Aged Dark Red Burst, it's a real eye catcher. 

Modern humbucking tones come courtesy of a pair of Fishman Fluence humbuckers which deliver three distinct tonal voices. You have access to a warm PAF tone, a hot modern tone and a shimmering single coil tone, all of which can be accessed through the push/pull pots. Thanks to a pair of volume controls, alongside a master tone control, you can really sculpt your sound to taste.

If you’re looking for the big dog in the Dave Mustaine Collection, then you have to check out the super special Gibson Dave Mustaine Flying V EXP, a truly monster way to experience what makes the Flying V so special. 

With a solid Mahogany body, this model is finished in either a stunning Silver Metallic or Antique Natural. It is brilliantly weighted and super resonant, perfect for cutting through with those heavy Thrash Metal riffs!

Classic Dave Mustaine tones come courtesy of his signature Seymour Duncan Thrash Factor pickup set. This set is voiced to recreate the unique tone of Daves favourite JB set used to record some of his most iconic albums.

The Epiphone Dave Mustaine Flying V delivers a powerful, heavy sound with truly exceptional performance. A more budget friendly version of the full-fat USA version, the Epiphone is a seriously impressive beast.

As with the USA model, the Epiphone is loaded with signature Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor pickup set. Finished off with a Tune-O-Matic bridge and Grover mini rotomatic tuners you can expect killer stability.
