Best value: Poor
Guitar invoice Korean, excellent craftsmanship. This is done in an ESP subcontractors.
24 XJ frets, rosewood fingerboard, mahogany body, Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Live Wire signature (supplied with battery, it is clear!). Tune-o-matic, with rope traversing.
a volume knob for micro, a general tone. 3 position selector.

the handle is lacquer, but I do not know if it is glued / driver, set neck, neck thru, in short who cares, she has a hell of sustain.
Nothing to say is very well finished, fully assembled, no frizz at the first box, nada.

Oh yes, the strap lok are original, and Dunlop.

UTILIZATION

I read everywhere that it&#39;s necessarily a metal guitar, which is not false, but which is quite simplistic and limited. I play just about anything you can find in my influences: from pop rock to black metal, to shred the instrumental, and of course the thrash. and the neoclassical too. And everything works fine. Playing with the knobs, jazzy sounds are not disgusting!

good then, the handle is divine, very comfortable, while being rounded end. That is, it&#39;s the right compromise between a handle Jackson ultrathin but not necessarily very comfortable and comfort of a handle a little "thick" like a modern Start.
Access to acute is perfect since there is no horn "stratoidesque" to block the hand. on the other hand, it will take time to adapt to play with the thumb catching the body ... pretty hard to explain actually, but you have to say that the handle is not even the first to the 24th box.

The guitar is extremely light, air, powerful, its just the Concorde! Especially with these powerful pickups just right.
In this connection, I sometimes read everywhere that these pickups are made for metal and point bar, but I remember the blind, that there are knobs for volume and tone, and with a little touch, we get a very wide range of his, just right. and this guitar "is made to be granted in LA 440" / Dave Mustaine.
it comes with a pull string very light (9-42 I think), then the sound seems a bit dull, but a good October 52 Dean Markley Blue Steel and tweaks later, and it is actually a plane Hunting one has hands.

Well, this guitar enchants me. in addition, performed standing, it does not pique the nose or the body, it is perfectly balanced, and sitting is a treat (well, must master the classical guitar position) it is perfectly landing on the leg, and will stall without problems.
Oh yes, Deniere thing this guitar is more impressive than a king V in Jackson. So be careful of your local area if you want to avoid the blows of this great body.

SOUNDS

Well, I deny that his favorite is the metal, and it&#39;s good, that&#39;s what I want.

But remember that with a little work, you can get excellent sound of this gear in lots of different styles.

I use a peavey bandit 112 home (ha what a good amp) no effect at first, then with a vox wah V847. Good, clean sounds are slammin, but with a little game volume / tone, we could find sounds pretty sweet. especially in the neck pickup.

Distortion in (that of the amp, or my Boss OS2), is the feast of slip, it sends the puree, harmonics fart in every sense, the grain is perfectly pleasant, MI and granted, and bah it sounds fabulous. Eb it goes a lot too, underneath, the pickups get a little, hmmm, let&#39;s say drafts.

according to the attack of the game and your distortion, we obtain in turn a dry or greasy. Metal in the area, there is not to say, it is extremely versatile. Seymour Duncan thank you, thank you Dave Mustaine!

good, and it has nothing to do but to empty it sounds exceptionally well, until the end of its beautiful wings. (Yeah, we&#39;ll say it ... an angel of deth. Kikoo lol mdr dsl, tkt lol)

PS: excuse me

OVERALL OPINION

It&#39;s been seven months now I use it, and I am tired. She is still as beautiful as the first day (it was love at first sight in the store. I&#39;m a fan of ultimate Megadeth, but I had not really thought of me get it. It happened like that).

The only negative I could find him, these benchmarks is key ... we did see better than those horrible all white points.

in the same style, I tried a &#39;67 Gibson V, a Jackson KV3, KVx10, RR3, RR5, KE3 a BC Rich Kerry King, a warlock, and plenty of others as I can remember more, and it is clear that this is a DV8R excellent value for money, a real joy to play and talk a rare, since Mr. Mustaine grew at Dean.

I paid € 900 for new, and it is now 7 months that I live with a dozen of € on my bank account.
So the choice I would do again in a heartbeat.
ha yes, last point: If you plan to travel around with, you can choose to order an expensive flight in ESP, but I suggest you go have a look at Gator;)
Oh yes, the last item on the notation: perfection does not exist, and that&#39;s why I put 9 / 10 in all sections. But my heart fan of pointy guitars and megadeth told me to put around 10.

for once I was able to be objective.

In conclusion, Ruez you on the latest models you will find, it&#39;s worth it, seriously.
