Jackson With or With Out Dave Mustaine

[The Mitch]

My storry is:
I as a big Megadeth fanboy Dave was the reason why I got into Jacksons.
And since the mid 90s I spent more than 10k€ into Jackson guitars.
And I''m not the only one.

Y2KV

Its one of the finest playing guitars I have ever played...

Wish I still had my Y2KV bolt-on import. No telling what I could get for it these days

[SEEGERMANY]

"yessir, I'm a hot commodity"

[VoiceX3]

The Y2KV will not return even if Dave does. It's a Gibson shape, and having the Y2KV violates the "cease fire" between Gibson and Fender.

Sub-brands are included in that "cease fire", which means no Gibson shapes for any FMIC brand.

I disagree Newc..... Gibson sub-brands:

Kramer -
GUITARS
Focus VT211S
Pacer FT202S
Pacer FT211S
Striker FR422SM
Striker FR424CM
Striker S424CR
USA 1984 Reissue
USA 1985 Baretta
Let's not forget HOLY RHOADS RIPOFFS.....
Vanguard FR440S
Vanguard S440S

Basses
Focus 420S
Striker 422S

Valley Arts Guitars
Guitars
Brent Mason Signature (tele)
Custom Pro (strat)
T-Series (tele)
T-Series Bent Top (tele)

The Y2KV placed next to a Flying V is much more different than any of the guitars are to their respective counterparts. The only thing the Y2KV and Flying V have in common is that they're both V shaped.

2 things:

1- Threads about Dave / Megadeth are always among the most popular threads in here
2- There are a lot of teenager Megadeth fans out there now.

Bring him back and I'm sure the sales numbers for USA Jacksons will double in a few years.

[The Mitch]

Well, teenage days are long gone. But I was a hardcore fanboy back in the day.

And still when I put out my KV1 or KV-Pro I get a FUCKING BONER!
So bring him back, DAVE IS JACKSON!

[Mazz]

Dave Mustaine can't really trash talk jackson since Rhoads was the inspiration of his guitar and was also a Jackson artist they actually created the V, I would much rather the ignorant jerk playing a strat.

[Sinistas]

Without Mustaine, I would never have become a Jackson fanboy. If he does a string-through KV sig, I'm on it like a $39 suit.

....and I'd be on a Y2KV like a money shot on Jenna's face! lol

[MetalHeadMat]

If Dave comes back that means he bought Jackson guitars
Actually I'd really like it, I wonder if he'd have something else besides the KV1 or Y2KV. When he went with ESP, I really loved his ESP's, but I played one of his Dean's and I really hated it. I had a thread in the Megadeth forums where do you think he'd go next, someone said he'd go back for sure, dunno though.
It'd be neat if he had his own company

But back to the original question, I wont randomly buy a guitar comp[any just because somebody plays the brand.

[Grandturk]

I would say the company is worth significantly more now than when Mustaine "tried" to buy Jackson. Back then, you couldn't give pointy metal guitars away.

Let me clue you yardbirds in on something. If you think prices on Jacksons and Charvels is high now, just let Mundane buy the company! He's at the age that he's planning his retirement and his kid's future.

[MetalHeadMat]

I imagine if they offered Marty a Sig he'd definately say ya. He got kicked off of Ibanez, and they could probably make some good money from him too.


Also the Y2KV is like the Dean V, with the cut-aways, they wont be able to sue.
And the reason I got into Jackson's is from my friends Warrior, and how badass it looked. I loved it almost as much as I now love my Rhoads. Jackson's are my favourite brand even to this day.
