January 20, 2007, 17 years ago
As previously reported, Dave Mustaine of MEGADETH and Dean Guitars have announced a new guitar line called the “Vehement: VMNT.” The new instruments were unveiled yesterday (January 19) at the NAMM convention at the Anaheim Convention Centre in Anaheim, CA. To view a video of the event head here.
The initial model in this exclusive line will be limited to a worldwide run of only 150 pieces. This guitar will be a signature Mustaine V with a heavily flamed top, Dave Mustaine custom Live Wires pickups, ebony fingerboard and gold hardware. Players and collectors can choose from three finishes--Transparent Amber, Transparent Red and Transparent Black. The guitar will include a stenciled hardshell case and a Deth certificate hand signed by Dave Mustaine himself. The second guitar is the Dean Dave Mustaine VMNT import complete with the custom Live Wires pickups, Grover tuners and hardshell case. The guitar is available in Classic Black or Metallic Silver and the first 500 sold will include a Megadeth CD signed by the man himself. Retail price of the Dean VMNT is $1520 US.
“The whole process has been surreal,” says Mustaine about his new guitar line. “It’s been dream-like, but is more real than any dream I’ve ever had. They understand what a guitarist expects out of his gear, and we share a vision, a loyalty and an understanding of guitars. Working with Dean has been one of the greatest thrills for me as a musician.”Mustaine will be holding another live podcast from the Dean Guitars booth at the NAMM convention today (Saturday, January 20th).
