Description
The Gibson Dave Mustaine Flying V EXP electric guitar was designed in close collaboration with Megadeth´s legendary frontman and delivers the powerful, heavy sound his fans have come to expect. Its classic "Flying V" body shape exudes an unmistakably aggressive attitude. A solid mahogany body provides rich, resonant tone, while a fast-playing mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard enable flawless playability. Seymour Duncan Thrash Factor and ´59 Model SH-1 humbucking pickups recreate Mustaine´s iconic tone from Megadeth´s Rust in Peace album. Precision Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners and a Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge keep everything locked in tune through the most punishing riffs. The Flying V EXP is a high-performance tone machine for serious rock guitarists.
Pummel Audiences With Thrash Factor Pickups
The Flying V EXP comes armed with a pair of Seymour Duncan Thrash Factor humbucking pickups designed in collaboration with Mustaine himself. These high-output pickups deliver the tight, aggressive tone and massive distortion essential to Megadeth´s pioneering thrash metal sound. Roll back the volume and tone controls for a warmer, vintage-inspired tone or crank them up all the way to unleash a sonic assault.
Play Fast and Fearless on a Slim, Low-Profile Neck
The Flying V EXP features a slim mahogany neck and compound radius ebony fingerboard—a profile optimized for high-speed lead playing. 24 medium-jumbo frets provide ample room for wide bends and legato runs. A fast, low-friction finish allows fingers to fly effortlessly up and down the neck.
Built to Withstand the Rigors of the Road
From its solid mahogany body to the Nashville Tune-O-Matic Bridge with Stopbar Tailpiece, the Flying V EXP is built to handle the demands of touring and frequent live performances. It comes protected in a hardshell case, ready to transport to your next show. Precision-made Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability and durability for years of hard use.
A Signature Model Fit for a Metal Legend
With its striking Flying V profile, tone-shaping controls, and high-performance electronics, the Dave Mustaine Flying V EXP embodies the power, attitude, and musical mastery of its legendary namesake. It delivers the sound and playability to inspire your own thrashing solos and face-melting riffs.
