Overview

Plenty of bite, with a design that'll grab attention as well.

Dave Mustaine named his signature acoustic-electric guitar "Mako" because of its shark gill-shaped soundhole, and shark's teeth pearl inlays. The soundhole provides plenty of projection while the sharp Florentine cutaway on its mahogany body with spruce top promotes easy access for upper fretboard shredding. Dave uses his Mako in the studio for layering and texturing tracks and features it on the intro to "The Hardest Part of Letting Go."

Other distinctive features on the Dave Mustaine Mako include an ebony fingerboard, black NuBone nut and saddle, Grover tuners, and Fishman Isys+ preamp with a built-in tuner to ensure the only chords you play are intentional.

Case sold separately.
