The ESP LTD DV8-R was designed to suit Dave Mustaine's own inimitable style and taste. The LTD Signature Series DV8-R features neck-thru-body construction, Seymour Duncan JB and Jazz humbuckers, a TonePros bridge (strings thru the body), and a 24-fret rosewood fingerboard with a signature 8-ball inlay at the first fret. Its large frets make for easy playability and Sperzel locking tuners ensure tuning stability. Other features include a mahogany neck & body, black hardware, 2 volume knobs, 1 tone knob, and a 3-way pickup selector switch.
ESP Dave Mustaine LTD DV8-R Pickups
JB: A completely balanced coil configuration produces great harmonics and a high output with just the right blend of sustain and distortion. It's the best of both worlds: from sweet warm tones to raw rock 'n' roll.
Jazz: Delivers an accurate, clear tone for fast runs. The brighter sound has slightly less output and is a good match with most pickups.
TonePros Locking Bridge System
A simple concept that no one thought of until TonePros, the system features set screws on either side of the bridge and stop tailpiece. Because they secure solidly in place, intonation and tuning are more accurate-the bridge never falls off. Sustain is better, too, since all of the parts in the system are locked in place and become one with the guitar body.
Dunlop Flushmount Straplocks
Dave uses the to keep his straps from coming off during heated performances. They'll leave your straps fastened during the most active performances, and their flush mounting means they won't stick out and get in the way.
