![]() Interesting timing, or just a coincidence? Either way, it's a very metal addition. Dave Mustaine is best known for playing Jackson King V and Jackson Y2KV model guitars. Why does that matter? Well, if you look at the V-style models the Megadeth frontman made with previous corporate partners (particularly one company that very recently lost a trademark battle in court with Gibson over V-shaped models, and was forced to stop producing them), you'll see that same style of tailpiece. Rather than the stop bar example found on Mustaine's previous Gibson Vs, this new model sports a string-through-body, Chevron-style tailpiece. Perhaps the most notable feature of the entire guitar though, is – of all things – its tailpiece. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mustaine’s signature, meanwhile, is reproduced on the truss rod cover, while his silhouette makes an appearance on the back of the guitar's headstock. All hardware on the new Vs is finished in either gold (on the Red Amber Burst model), or nickel (Ebony VOS), a step up from the black chrome finish bestowed upon the hardware of the more widely available Mustaine V EXP models. ![]()
