Dave Mustaine Gibson V review…

Alright then….that fretboard was quite s#ite…unacceptable.
I am glad they chose to do the resurrection of the hockey stick on random Gibson models with the V.
I remember seeing the LP version in the 80s….much worse.
This is kinda sad in comparison to the black one that’s been floating around out there.
What in the actual F were they thinking when they packed this one to go out for review on the Trogly channel?!?! Seriously. That’s just….wow….train wreck….
#notmyV;)

Yea when I saw that review I let out a deep sigh and thought “ok, a Gibson with Dave’s taste, can’t really expect much else.” Then yea, I saw the inlay… tooling marks I can forgive. That messed up inlay… just no… I’d much rather have one of Dave’s dean guitars than this… and not a fan of those new pickups…

I agree, i mean i can forgive him for switching from Jackson to Dean, it sounded like at the time Jackson didn't really treat him the best but Gibson?!

Dave had a long term deal with Dean ... not sure why that went south .....but obviously it has -- maybe he is just gettin older and linning the pockets for retirement?

Just do me a favor, if you get a hold of a Dave Mustain Dean explorer or V, hold onto it for me. I'll be wanting to get one of em.
 
It’s probably just a traditionalist mindset on my part, but I don’t think hockey stick or highly angled headstocks look as good on symmetrical V guitars as they do on asymmetrical Vs.

I think those kind of headstocks do look good on asymmetrical Vs, like a Rhoads V.
 
Not bashing here.

But this is what some guy posted in a guitar forum. I tend to agree.

OP - If you're chiefly concerned about having to deal with inconsistent QC, maybe it's best to just avoid Gibson altogether. There are a number of other companies for whom this is not an issue.

that does make sense....... however I have several Gibsons that are TRULY AMAZING.... I bash the "G" -- mostly because I like to and oft times they ask for it--- but damn it man -- WHEN THEY GET IT RIGHT ---- there truly is NOTHING like it
 
ALSO for the record I am looking for a Gold treble side "Grover" tuner and a silver bass side grover tuner -- for 2 different projects (one being the "V" the high "E" tuner you may notice is a SILVER one :eek::rolleyes:
