Huge thanks to Marco for selling me this beauty! I wanted a guitar that would be as close as possible to the Megadeth logo King V but without the same price tag so I could use it at rehearsals and gigs. This is pretty much as close as you can get. Neck profile is very close, the serial is close (Megadeth logo KV is J2713), the poplar body sounds the same. Biggest differences are the jumbo frets. The missing frets don't change the feel of the guitar at all cause on the Mustaine guitar the fretboard is extended. I put a fixed Kahler on her so that's also taken care of. 
Notice the larger control cavity on the Mustaine axe as well as the shorter wings (due to damage). Also at this point the wing shaping changed a bit if you compare the area where they meet the neck. The early King Vs have an overall more pointy body shape and are narrower where the wings meet the neck.
Enough talk. Here are the pics.
