Made for metal.

The ESP LTD Dave Mustaine Signature DV8-R Electric Guitar is one bad boy. Its 25-1/2" scale, neck-thru-body mahogany construction, a TonePros string-thru tune-o-matic-style bridge, and a pair of Seymour Duncan pickups (JB in the bridge, Jazz in the neck), and Sperzel locking tuners make this a perfectly metal-equipped axe. Loads of sustain, super stable tuning, plenty of crunch, and searing lead sounds. Cosmetics include an 8-ball inlay on the first fret plus neck and headstock binding.

I can't help but to give this amzing guitar all 10's. I owned an old King V standard in high school (because I couldn't afford the signature KV1, which was only $999 from MF in '93, HA!)For the money this LTD is a fantastic instrument. The pickup set rocks, the flushmount straplocks are cool and the finish is beautiful. I just took it to the shop to be set up for 10-52 strings and I love it even more now. You will not be disappointed in this guitar (as long as you get it in silver :))

I got this guitar a couple of weeks ago and I just can't seem to be able to put it down. The jazz pickup in the neck sounds amazing on clean, and the JB sounds great on distortion. That means alot to because I don't like Seymour Duncans. I'm all about EMGs, but these pickups have an amazing sound. Also people complain about it being hard to play sitting down, it's not though. And if you think it is...STAND UP!

This guitar is really amazing... All ESP guitars have amazing quality and workmanship. This guitar has a killer METAL/Lead sound!!! As far as people who complain about the lack of a tremelo go... apparently they aren't familiar with Dave. Dave is known as saying that "God created wammy bars for people who can't solo."
