NAMM 2009: More Mustaine gear – new Dean ‘Rust In Peace’ VMNT
The appeal of this one will pretty much be limited to hardcore Megadeth fans and Dave Mustaine himself, but you gotta give ‘em props for trying. Here’s Dave’s latest Dean VMNT, which will be officially released at NAMM in a couple of weeks. Dean are going nuts for these graphic finishes lately.
What do you think? Is anyone going to buy this guitar, or is it impossible to step on a stage with it without looking like you need a big blond wig and a bullet belt?
You can see more cool Dean 09 stuff at their website.
If you can’t wait until the official release to get your hands on a Megadeth graphic Dean, CLICK HERE to buy the Dean V Dave Mustaine United Abomination electric guitar from Musician’s Friend for $299. These are based on the budget VMNTX, so you could quite easily take the money you save and upgrade the pickups to a Seymour Duncan Livewire Dave Mustaine active pickup set for $189.95 and have a decent approximation of what Dave uses, for a fraction of the price.

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), Blunt, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Bandcamp or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
erm… no I think I’ll pass on that guitar! I’ll be interested to see how ’09 pans out for DBZ guitars, Dean said that he had lots of graphic finishes coming maybe they are making a comeback?
Yeah, I can’t wait to see what Dean Z comes out with now he’s back on his own… and what endorsers he lines up. I wonder if anyone will defect from Dean, or if their endorsement deals are just too attractive.
i think its pretty wikid, i ussualy hate lame graphics but i do love megadeth
yes i cant wait to get my hands on that baby. my favorite album on my favorite guitar! cant wait!
hmm my fav guitar, my fav album, looks like a must buy.
I would love to have that one! But I’m sure it will be priced way beyond my budget/
