I don't know for certain, but I would assume that since Marty basically used a mirror image of Mustaine's gear during Rust in Peace through Countdown To Extinction it may have just been the logical choice for him to switch. Especially since the band already had a relationship with Jackson Guitars.
Then again, Mustaine may have said, "Ditch the Carvin and play a Jackson or you'll never get hired."
I have heard that his first Kelly was a used model from the 80's that was originally painted with tiger stripes. He had it refinished black. It's one of the few Kelly's I have seen him play with 22 frets. He's using it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVdyHs_IX1IComment

Originally posted by Brian View PostThen again, Mustaine may have said, "Ditch the Carvin and play a Jackson or you'll never get hired." It actually was something like that. Dave told him to dye his hair one color, then said he needed to play a real guitar, so he got him a Jackson endorsement.
Also, Marty had the Kelly downsized to what we know today. He didn't like the King Kelly or medium sized Kelly and wanted it smaller.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

But how did Marty get that audition? Who was his "wing-man" to the 'Death camp?
hint..he played Jacksons."Bill, Smoke a Bowl and Crank Van Halen I, Life is better when I do that"

Don't remember who. I believe it was someone who was friends with Megadeth's manager.
Marty also had an audition with Madonna that same week, but luckily he got the Megadeth gig.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.Comment

At the time, he was into hard rock and metal guitar playing, but he just got bored with it and wanted to branch out and do different things.Originally posted by Brian View PostHahah
