Dave Mustaine is one of the world's most influential metal musicians. Founding Megadeth in 1983 and still fronting the band almost 40 years later, Mustaine's technical thrash riffs, angsty vocals and blazing solos have inspired an entire generation; selling over 38 million records and counting! The Gibson Montana Dave Mustaine Songwriter pays tribute to the legendary musician and Gibson brand ambassador, whilst providing him with a platform to show his softer side!
Designed in collaboration with the Megadeth frontman, the Dave Mustaine Songwriter features a slightly thinner Walnut Songwriter body for a more comfortable playing experience. The Sitka Spruce top delivers a well-rounded tone with a broad dynamic range, making it a great tonewood for a most playing styles. A convenient cutaway allows for excellent access to each of the 24 frets. In fact, it is the first Gibson acoustic guitar to ever feature a 24 fret neck! An Advance Response Mahogany neck feels incredibly comfortable and is topped with a sleek Ebony fingerboard, adorned with Mother of Pearl teeth inlays.
The Dave Mustaine Songwriter is loaded with a market-leading LR Baggs VTC under saddle pickup, delivering natural sounding amplified tones. Volume and tone controls mounted in the soundhole allow for accurate tone shaping whilst maintaining the guitar's natural characteristics. Other features include Grover Rotomatic tuners, a TUSQ nut, saddle and bridge pins and custom artwork from Vic Rattlehead on the pickguard and headstock. A custom hardshell case is also included.
