NEWS: Iconic Megadeth Jackson up for auction
Say, anyone got a spare fifteen grand laying around that they don’t wanna use? Then I encourage them to show their support for I Heart Guitar by buying this guitar and giving it to me. That happens, right?
Neals Vintage Guitars is selling Dave Mustaine’s 1989 Jackson King V. The eBay listing says it was used on the Clash of the Titans tour with Slayer and Anthrax. Cool! Dave had a few of these (some with different pickups) and this one is distinctive for its locking nut. CLICK HERE to see the auction.
The Buy It Now price is $15,000 but who knows what this iconic axe will ultimately sell for. Do you think the price is excessive? Not enough? Just about right?

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), guitarworld.com, Tone Deaf, 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 Reverbnation or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
