DISC Dean Zero Dave Mustaine, Vic Rattlehead

Full Description

Zero Series Body Shape

This addition to Dave Mustaine's 2017 lineup features an eye-catching custom Vic Rattlehead graphic that will stand out on any stage. For the electric guitarist looking for something different in terms of appearance, this guitar has it all. With the Vic Rattlehead graphic representing Megadeath's main mascot, this guitar will turn heads for all the right reasons. The overall guitar design is evidently inspired by the man himself.

Custom Dave Mustaine D-Profile Neck

With a set-in mahogany neck sculpted to Dave Mustaine's unique specifications, this guitar maintains the resonance and durability of thicker D shaped necks, but with a slightly thinner profile that offers smoother playability and easy access to the higher frets. Complete with a 25.5" scale jatoba fingerboard and custom Dave Mustaine pearl dot and sharktooth combo inlays, Mustaine himself raves that this may be his favourite neck ever.

Screaming Seymour Duncan Pickups

This iconic guitar is loaded with a custom 59 neck humbucker and a screaming Dave Mustaine 'Thrash Factor' Seymour Duncan bridge pickup. The 59 Model neck humbucker is one of Seymour Duncan's most popular pickups due to its versatility.
