NEWS: Glen Drover auctions ‘Peace Sells’ ESP
Former Megadeth guitarist Glen Drover is auctioning his famed ‘Peace Sells’ ESP. I saw Glen with Megadeth four times and this axe always got a strong reaction from the crowd (although I liked his ‘Countdown To Extinction’ model even more).

The listing reads:
This guitar was made for Glen Drover in 2005 and given to him by ESP guitars at the 2005 NAMM convention in California, for the ESP anniversary party. It was also used by Glen for all touring for 2005 and 2006 with Megadeth.
This is an “ESP” version of the LTD Deluxe M1000 and designed to Glen’s specs.
Easily the most popular guitar from Glen Drover’s collection used while in Megadeth.

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson.

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 Reverbnation or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
GLEN SELLS, BUT WHO’S BUYING?
I doubt that anyone will bid that much. Honestly, that IS a sweet axe. But 4.4k is way too much for it. Auction would have been more interesting starting @ 1 buck.
It’s a high price but I still think someone will buy it.
