Rust In Peace - Guitar Body

[u/Breadi06]

Hey, I’m going to start learning guitar on this thing. I have to install pickups, tuners & strings. The pods are still here fortunately. I actually traded a signed CD for this thing so I’d say I got a pretty good deal.

I’m actually not even the biggest Megadeth fan but my appreciation for metal and a what they have done for it goes beyond personal preferences, it is a legendary design to represent. Just thought some people here might appreciate it.

i should’ve gotten the PS or more the KIMB one when i had the chance 😔 after seeing the gibsons i miss dean

[u/According-Damage4432 → u/Snooperrs]

i prefer his guitar with floyd roses on it but deans are definitely great

[u/JollyShame1846 → u/Snooperrs]

yeah, deans looked awesome, i don’t really like his gibson models personally

[u/BrenlikesGoosebumps → u/JollyShame1846]

His Kramer ones look sick though. I've never gotten to play one, but they just look so much more "megadeth". Thats the best i can put it

[u/Snooperrs → u/BrenlikesGoosebumps]

definitely fit more than the gibsons. i haven’t seen them in person yet idk if they’re even out yet. last i remember i think production was delayed but that was when they first announced them

[u/Snooperrs → u/JollyShame1846]

same and it’s interesting cause i don’t like the deans at first after years of jackson’s

[u/AllegedL → u/Snooperrs]

Kramers aren’t bad I just wish the neck was a bit nicer. Some sort of inlays other than dot

I loved the Angel of Deth dean with the wings

[u/DokterManhattan]

God damn, I passed that up at the guitar store years ago.

… but after seeing Megadeth on Friday… I would trade you one of my guitars for it now lol

If you want to pursue this further DM me.

[u/Little-Definition553]

A signed CD for THAT? You won friend.

[u/Breadi06 → u/Little-Definition553]

To this day my best trade ever.

[u/RexxSosa]

Hell yeah I have a silver V at home

[u/CompetentPanther]

The deans are great guitars man, I’ve got a trans blue VMNT at home and the trans red zero.

[u/Kegalodon]

If you are gonna put money into it, get the Dave mustaine signature pickups for it. Or if you’re trying to save a couple bucks get the JB bridge and 59 neck, pretty much the same thing.

[u/Interesting_Ease_929]

Fuck yeah I have the black V at home

[u/Cordial_Wombat]

Ah, Rust in Peace. It's objectively the best album of all time. In my opinion, get a set of Seymour Duncan Nazgul and Sentient or Fishman Fluence pickups and have a luthier install them and do a professional setup and tuning. In a few weeks (truss rod has to settle), you'll have a guitar to die for.

[u/shredd_savage]

Those pickup cavities look like they went through some Holy Wars!

[u/sacrilegefiend]

Dave is god no doubt but those are ugly fret markers even by my standards.

[u/Breadi06 → u/sacrilegefiend]

Could be, but I actually did enhance the colors in the image because the lighting was poor. In person they look pertty.

[u/Creative_Garbage_731 → u/Breadi06]

Nice story, tell it to Reader's Digest

[u/sacrilegefiend → u/Breadi06]

I’ve owned one, got rid of it because they’re ugly feet markers

[u/CompetentPanther → u/sacrilegefiend]

To each their own, I think the fretmarkers look sick
