Personal Thoughts:
This is a seriously cool and very collectible Jackson. The mid-'90s USA Mustaine models already have a strong following, but being number 33 of just 150 pieces takes this into a much more desirable bracket. It has all the things you would want from a proper Dave Mustaine signature V as well — aggressive shape, neck-through construction, ebony board and Floyd-equipped high-performance spec — but what really gives it extra pull is how rare and period-correct it feels. The black finish is exactly right for the model too, keeping it properly menacing and understated, while the Custom Shop JBL bridge pickup is a great detail and adds even more interest for someone who knows these guitars well. A real museum piece, but still every bit a serious USA-made Jackson from one of the coolest eras.

Condition Report:
Mint condition. A true collector’s under-the-bed example and an exceptionally well-kept piece overall.
