Mustaine Signature Model Teaser Pics

I'm watching the live part of the Dean webcast now and Dean just said the special announcement is at 1PM PST.

Does the tip of that headstock look like a Washburn of some sort, or am I just imagining things?

Yeah some of the 80's Washburns, but almost identical to BC Rich's 80's headstock:

[caesar81]

They say Dave tried to go back to Rich, but didn't work out in the end.

[Jackson-Charvel]

So he had them copy their headstock since the deal fell through with BC Rich? Lawsuit in the works? Cease and Desist? Anytime someone copies Gibson's headstock you know they won't be producing them for long.

Also are they allowed to use the same basic sharkfin inlays that Jackson uses? Only differences is it is inverted which is different from standard or reversed sharkies.

[caesar81]

Not only this bro, he ALMOST made it back to Jackson ! They almost had the deal signed ! But Dave wanted more, now we are screwed !!!

Just wait for 40 minutes.And the secret will be revealed.


I'm pretty sure that Mustaine's been laughing for days "look at those dorks,they're taking all their time to talk about my guitar"

It's a good marketing strategy

That headstock is way better than the ESP headstock.

I think the headstock was the coolest thing about the dv-8. I love it overall also

13 minutes more...and we will be doomed with Dean.

Are you Turkish?

What's there is nice.
Dean's have a good shape, I like the ML and Z's.
But...
JCMI should have their lawyers all over this thing for the sharkies.
That is a perfect example of trade dress violation that needs to be enforced.

[rjohnstone]

See PRS v. Gibson.
Dean can use sharkies all they want.
Nobody is gonna mistake that for a Jackson.

The inlays are similar to the sharkies, but the radius is a lot deeper, and in my opinion looks a lot worse.
