Megadeth fans...

Check this (http://www.deanguitars.com/dave_mustaine.php) out, it's Dave Mustaine's new signature guitar. Looks sweet! You can also hear a track from the forthcoming Megadeth album.

Oh geez, dont get me started on this rant. Dave sold out to Dean guitars. Whata bummer... I thought ESP was the new Jackson, but I guess not. The DV8 was the best signature model of his yet, and how he comes out with this POS Dean. The quilted V looks cool, but the regular one looks like a cheep $200 beginner's guitar. I wonder why he changed from to Dean so abruptly. He just came out with the Axxion a little more than a year ago.

I predict Dean or "Dime" :rolleyes: guitars to be the biggest guitar distibutor by 2010.

No offense Jesus, im just a Deth-head who's really bad :p

Haha, none taken at all. Being a fellow 'Deth-head and an ESP (well... LTD :o) player myself, I can see where you're coming from. In fact, the main reason I linked to that page is that you can hear a track from the forthcoming Megadeth album, rather than because I like Dave's new guitar. The special edition one is indeed quite awesome, but ESP overall make better instruments IMO. Even if Dave sold out to Dean, I won't! :p

One good thing that came out of this was that now the ESP line has launched a V-series that is the exaxt same asethetics to the DV-8. IMO, the DV-8 is the coolest flying V around. So we can how get the same guitar for half the price cause it doesnt have Dave's name it anymore.

BTW, where is the link to their new song, I cant seem to find it.

[jiujitsu_jesus]

Unfortunately, the new Vs have active pickups: I liked 'em better when they had the old Seymour Duncans or whatever they were.

Aargh, when I first linked to the page, it had a media player with the song on it. If you go to the Dean Homepage, there will be a media player there, and it ought to be on that. If not, just skip through the tracks until you get to "Gears of War".

[alucard0941]

Yea that the only bad thing. Also it only comes in black, I wish it came in that white and silver the DV-8 came in.

Thats a pretty cool song. Im really glad Megadeth always sticks to their roots and never changes too drastically.

[jiujitsu_jesus]

Yeah, it's good that they mostly stick to their strengths. The only time they strayed was on Risk, and even that had some kickass songs, like "Prince of Darkness" and "Wanderlust".

I am a die hard Megadeth fan, seen them 8 or so times on concert. Always loved his guitars. But this???? I am not a big fan of Dean and this one aside from the headstock reminds me of those cheap Dime V's. Think I will stick with ESP/LTD and Schecter!!!!
