Dave Mustaine’s partnership with Gibson has resulted in some of the more aggressive axes in the brand’s long history. Now, the Megadeth founder’s Flying V Custom brings that same heavy-metal edge into the world of Epiphone! In fact, this thrash-metal-meets-upscale take on the classic Flying V features the same Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Signature Thrash Factor pickups found on Dave’s instruments, providing you with a tight, defined tonal hostility that excels in rapid-fire rhythms and high-gain-drenched solos. Next, a mahogany neck (complete with an angular explorer headstock), mahogany body, and ebony fingerboard give you a warm response with a defined bottom end — a formidable tonewood combo that Sweetwater’s metal gurus prefer for clear and articulate low-string riffage. Wrap it all up (literally) with stark binding, an iconic Flying V string-thru tailpiece, Lock Tone Tune-o-matic bridge, and Grover Rotomatic tuners, and the result is a top-tier “V” that’s truly ready to deliver a “Symphony Of Destruction.”
