DEAN GUITARS DAVE MUSTAINE VMNT RUST IN PEACE

Full-metal racket

Dean Guitars has been amassing a substantial endorsement roster—including Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine, whose VMNT Rust in Peace signature guitar is a shred-fest waiting to happen. The finish is inspired by Ed Repka’s iconic artwork for Megadeth’s classic Rust in Peace album and, true to its inspiration, this guitar unleashes a fury of thrashing rhythms and face-melting solos. We tested the Drop-D setup, which was perfect for delivering a full-bore metal sound. The set-construction mahogany neck features a unique D shape that’s super comfortable, and the Dave Mustaine Duncan Livewire pickups seamlessly translated lightning fast rhythms while doling out solos as we moved to the top of the neck.
