Gibson has not let me down.

[Sgt. Pepper]

Been a week or so, but they just got a new sig model out or coming out. When I think acoustic guitar, I think Dave Mustaine.

Wonder if this is a "Lifestyle" guitar ?   For $5K ?

For 5 large I’d buy a Collings or Preston Thompson. Or maybe 2 used Martins, not that. 

[slimt]

^^^^^^. Agreed 

[RBSinTo]

Feh. 

But they get full marks for always looking for ways to separate the fans from  their money.

Dave Mustaine makes music for middle class white kids who like their music scary but not too scary.  

I like a lot of their earlier stuff and would rather listen to Megadeth than ‘Tallica..

[Sgt. Pepper]

By the time Countdown to Extinction came out I was not listening to them much any more, and I was more than done with 'Tallica. People gush over Metallica (aka The Black Album). I found it to be a bore. And then they just kept getting worse IMHO. If you want a band to cover a song and destroy it (and not in a good way) let 'Tallica cover it. Their Whiskey In The Jar is so bad, Phil Lynott should come back from the grave and smack all of them.

I decided to go to youtube just out of interest sake to see what happens when I search for Dave Mustaine playing acoustic and this is the first thing that came up  

And then this

 

[Sgt. Pepper]

I never said Dave never played one. He’s just not who comes to mind when I think acoustic guitars. CSN+Y, John Martyn, Nick Drake, Page, Dylan and a ton of others, just not him.

And I never said you said he never played acoustic..  It wasnt a post aimed at you..  Did you watch the first video???   If not do and then maybe you will see why I posted it. I just thought it was amusing that it was the first video that comes up in a search.. Not exactly an acoustic ambassador.

The second video I posted as the one he is playing isnt the one they just released.

I watched the first video and my eyes rolled so hard I almost got vertigo. 

[NighthawkChris]

Mega Dave has written some awesome riffs over the years. I consider Megadeth one of the best bands ever as far as metal is concerned. That said, hard pass on the Mega Dave acoustic.

Well, it that **** sells, then surely they will produce MY latest idea for Gibson's ever-expanding marketing endeavors.

Please stick to electrics.

If he had said playing a 12 string acoustic, I may have actually agreed with him  😄

I think Explorer body and Firebird neck, at least that’s what the pic looked like.

Rudi don’t give Gibson any new ideas they might try an electric with an acoustic neck.
