Key Features
Create monstrous tones with a guitar designed by metal icon Dave Mustaine
Destructive, inferno-whipping signature Thrash Factor Seymour Duncan pickups
Unleash your best, most aggressive riffs on a luscious ebony fretboard
Sleek, angular and ready to deliver a thunderbolt of sonic shock...The Gibson Dave Mustaine Flying V EXP is a pure shot of metal power that's befitting of such a legendary artist. Modelled after Dave's signature Flying V, this special guitar benefits from the Megadeath frontman's personal design touches and tweaks, most prominently among them are the savage Thrash Factor Seymour Duncan pickups. These unleash a searing hot, destructive whirlwind of sonics that are enormously fun when combined with large amounts of overdrive. Boasting a sound and aesthetic that's sharp as a razor, this signature Flying V will have you cut through any mix.
A lush ebony fretboard pairs with an all-mahogany body and neck to create an excellent balance of warm tonewoods. Designed to Dave Mustaine's specification, the fretboard is sleek, incredibly responsive and provides fast action for your riffs. Adorned with Mustaine's hallmark mother of pearl teeth inlays, it completes the take-no-prisoners attitude of this guitar. Sporting a Graph Tech nut, Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners and a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge, you have top-class reliability and playability with these premium appointments. Honed to perform at the very best level, this fearsome guitar more than meets Mustaine's demands. Embrace the metal and let loose with raw tonal ferocity.
Megadeth MustaineA metal icon. Known primarily as the frontman and founding member for the pioneering band Megadeth, Mustaine has hard metal in his veins. Featuring guitar driven, energetic melodies and thrilling solo sections, Megadeth’s music has been distilled down into one frighteningly powerful guitar. And after selling millions of albums worldwide and winning a Grammy award, you can trust Dave to know a thing or two about high-performance guitars.
The Thrash FactorTowering tone. Designed to recreate the sensational sound of one Mustaine’s favourite Seymour Duncan pickups, this bespoke set delivers destructive, roaring performance. In order to bring Dave’s unique, piercing sound to life, Seymour Duncan altered their winding process to achieve the exact sound he was looking for.
The result is a mighty humbucker that displays a tight low end, slightly scooped mid-ranges and sharp, defined highs. Perfect for evoking Mustaine’s rumbling, fast-paced chord onslaught, or voicing exhilarating solos that soar up the scales. With two positions and a plethora of tonalities for you to enjoy, you can be sure that the Thrash Factor humbuckers will reward you with tonnes of presence, and an unforgettable scream. Enhance your performance and experience the unbridled power of these pickups.
Unlimited inspiration on neck and fingerboard built for shreddingFast, furious and unrelenting, this neck and fingerboard encourages your very best playing. Crafted in a slim taper with volute shape, and made from rich mahogany and ebony, this Flying V has all the ingredients needed to send your riffs skywards. The slim profile is ergonomic, and comfortable in the palm, and its thin nature makes dancing between the frets feel natural and effortless. Each note you play will be infused by the dark tonal character of the mahogany, serving to add an extra layer of detail onto your tunes.
Joined with a slick, glassy smooth ebony fretboard you’re able to perform at breakneck pace as this is a surface that’s built for acceleration. Your fingers will feel right at home on this responsive, naturally beautiful wood that has an inherent oiliness to gift you swift transitions up and down the scales. Inlayed with mother of pearl teeth markers, you can show off your metal style and benefit from their clear fret signposting, useful to prevent bum notes when you’re soloing at lightning speed.
A-list appointmentsForm and function, this is guitar that is required by Dave to have both. It certainly has form, the electrifying Flying V shape and angular Explorer style headstock instantly excite the imagination, but how does it stand up to hours of practice and gigging? Very well, in fact. A Graph Tech nut paired with Grover Rotomatic bridge keeps your string vibrations pure and your tuning solid for the whole set. Down the other end, Gibson have installed a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge to offer superb intonation and to keep your strings locked in place.
All the hardware has been finished in black chrome to accent Mustaine’s menacing design and the body and neck coated in a nitrocellulose lacquer. Built by six string masters Gibson, specified by metal maestro Dave Mustaine, this is a partnership that’s resulted in one of the fiercest Flying V’s you can lay your hands on. Fire up your creativity, this is the guitar to push your boundaries.
