DAVE MUSTAINE Talks About New DEAN Signature Guitar; Video Available

Video footage of MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine talking about his new Dean signature guitar model, the Zero, can be viewed below.

In a recent interview with the I Heart Guitar blog, Mustaine stated about his new guitar, "At the NAMM show that's coming up at the beginning of next year they're going to be debuting a brand-new Dean guitar for me. The exciting part is that I looked at Dean's catalogue and a lot of the guitars they had and… well, my VMNTs, it's nothing like the original V that they have. It's nothing like the ones they're creating right now too. My line is my line. Neck shape, the configuration of the electronics, the ease and comfort, the way the pitch of the headstock is, the way the strings go through the body for getting all of that extra resonance. It's a one-of-a-kind mentality towards making a guitar the absolute best thing you could ever possibly want to play through. They had another body style that wasn't being utilized by anybody. I said, 'Can I get you to make me one of those?' 'Well yeah, fuck, man, sure, man!' I said, 'Wow, is anybody playing this?' 'No, man.' I said, 'Can I?' 'Fuck yeah, man!' I said, 'Can I change some of the lines on this?' 'Yeah, sure!' 'So I'm gonna Dave Mustaine this guitar right now, OK.' So we're debuting a brand-new style. It's called the Zero and I can't really tell you much more than that other than it's going to be a workhorse and the people who have seen it already over at Dean, they've been there for years and they've seen everything under the sun, that kinda stuff is exciting. Especially when it's opening up another area of creativity with the company."
