Seymour Duncan humbuckers whip up a tonal “Tornado Of Souls”

If Thrash Metal 101 was a college course, Megadeth’s timeless Rust in Peace record is sure to make its way onto the syllabus. Originally delivered through a Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB bridge pickup, Dave Mustaine’s impressive fretwork on this iconic album typifies the molten-hot aggression and light-speed licks that would become trademarks of thrash metal guitarists the world over. The Dave Mustaine Flying V Custom’s Thrash Factor humbuckers employs an altered winding process to duplicate the sound of Dave’s original pickups, resulting in a startlingly similar tone with tighter lows, slightly scooped mids, and more aggressive highs. Sadek Musical Instruments, we bring you the Epiphone Dave Mustaine Flying V Custom, a guitar that channels the raw energy and aggression of Megadeth’s legendary frontman. If you’re a fan of thrash metal, particularly the iconic "Rust in Peace" album, this instrument brings you Dave Mustaine’s signature tone with impeccable precision and performance.

Raw ’80s-style aesthetic appointments

From head to toe, the Epiphone Dave Mustaine Flying V Custom is dressed for destruction, wearing an old-school-meets-1980s-thrash vibe. The aggressive, no-nonsense black-on-black aesthetic complemented by Gibson/Epiphone “Custom” style white wraparound binding found on the body, neck, and headstock for a more elegant look — it’s still probably not the first choice for a jazzer. Still, it rips with just a touch more class. Lastly, a classic metal Flying V string-through tailpiece, Lock Tone Tune-o-matic bridge, and Grover Mini Rotomatics tuners prove that the Epiphone Dave Mustaine Flying V Custom’s performance more than matches its attention-grabbing looks.

Classic 24.75-inch scale length

Dave Mustaine has played quite a few “V”-style instruments in his 40-plus-year tenure at the helm of heavy metal, yet even his signature Gibsons typically sport an elongated scale length of 25.5 inches — around 0.75 inches longer than a typical Flying V. To switch things up, Dave opted for the latter on the Epiphone Dave Mustaine Flying V Custom to give this guitar a slightly looser feel, much more akin Gibson and Epiphone’s usual 6-string output. If you’re for an axe that can authentically cop a few riffs and rhythms off Rust in Peace or Peace Sells…But Who’s Buying?, but boasts the easy playability of a standard Gibson 24.75-inch scale length, the Epiphone Dave Mustaine Flying V Custom fits the bill.

Visit us at Sadek Musical Instruments and grab your Epiphone Dave Mustaine Flying V Custom today. Unleash the power of Megadeth and let your playing rip through the air with the precision and performance that made Dave Mustaine one of the greatest thrash guitarists of all time.
