Disclaimer: I have been a musician for 50 years and a guitar/gear collector for 40 of those 50 years. About 90% of my collections have never been used in a studio or live situation. The extent of use of my items will have been limited to simply inspecting the item(if it's an in-person purchase), buying the item(inspecting the item upon delivery if it's an on-line purchase), testing the item, polishing the item(especially if it's a guitar/bass), admiring the item(guitars), placing the item back in it's case/box which will either be in storage in my home or music studio. I am particularly careful and over protective will all of my gear. If there is anything wrong with an item I sell, I will note it in the description. I am not here to deceive my buyers. The items I sell will be in the same shape and condition they were in when I purchased them. There are no perfect items(especially with guitar finishes). As many of you know, almost all guitar/bass finishes will have some swirl marks if looking closely at the finish. These "swirls" are inherent in the finish itself. Now if there is a scratch or ding, etc., I will note that. I am saying all of this as I have had buyers actually put scratches/scuffs on a guitar/amp/pedal, etc. and then saying I sold them this item with a scratch/scuff, etc. I try my best to take the best photos I can, but I am not a professional photographer. Again, I am not trying to deceive my buyers. If you have a question about something, please ask. If you would like a particular photo of something in better detail, please ask and I will be happy to accommodate that the best I can. In many cases, some items will be in the original unopened box. However, I will open the factory sealed box in order to inspect, take photos, inspect, etc. Thank you for your understanding.

Selling a Mint/Never used 2023 Epiphone Dave Mustaine Signature Flying V Custom Electric Guitar in Black Metallic with hard shell case. This is a beautiful guitar and is absolutely in impeccable mint/new like condition. Other than taking it out of the case to take photos and to test the electronics, it has not been out of the case since I purchased it in Jan 2023 and has never left my home. This guitar is so highly reflective that you may see some reflections of me or lighting in the photos. I apologize for any reflections like that. Please let me know if you have any questions.

About This Guitar

Dave Mustaine is the legendary guitarist, vocalist, songwriter, and founder of the multi-platinum-selling and Grammy® Award-winning band, MEGADETH. With that legacy in mind, it's no surprise that he demands excellence from any instrument that bears his name. The new Epiphone Dave Mustaine Flying V™ Custom is no exception, delivering powerful, heavy sound and exceptional playing performance with every note.

The 24.75” scale mahogany neck has a gloriously agile ebony fretboard with 24 medium jumbo frets, an Explorer™-style headstock with Grover® Mini Rotomatic® tuners, and a Graph Tech® nut. The mahogany Flying V-style body is equipped with a LockTone™ Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, string-thru Flying V tailpiece, and Dave's signature Seymour Duncan® Thrash Factor pickups that deliver all the high-output mayhem you'd expect from a Mustaine signature axe. The pure-metal looks are rounded out with a Black Metallic finish offset with white body, neck, and headstock binding, along with black nickel hardware. A hardshell case is also included.
