The Dave Mustaine Show on
Gimme Metal radio. He said (transcribed by
BLABBERMOUTH.NET): I ve been telling you and telling you, a big announcement was gonna be coming, and it has. On February 23rd and 24th, we announced to the world that I am now a
Gibson guitar ambassador for all of their brands. I have really, really wanted to be a
Gibson man ever since I got my first
KISS record that said on the back, We use
Gibson guitars because we like the very best, he continued. Well, so did I. I didn t know what the very best was at the time. Shoot, I was still just growing facial hair. But when I got a chance to see a guy next door to where my sister s future husband lived, I saw this Les Paul custom. And, of course, in my memoir, I tell you about stealing the guitar returning it. But I was so excited about that guitar that I took it in and made it my own.

Dave Mustaine Confirms Partnership With Gibson Guitars
Megadeth frontman and guitar great Dave Mustaine will be rocking Gibson guitars when you see him returning to the stage. There had recently been speculation that Mustaine was moving on from Dean Guitars and his partnership with Gibson was revealed in a new video seen below. Nobody really knows how much I grew up secretly coveting Gibson products. I think anybody with a right mind would be able to tell cause I play V s and Explorer shaped guitars, said Mustaine in the clip, revealing his long held desire to work with Gibson. I was playing in Panic, the band I was in before Metallica, and I wanted so badly to have a legitimate Gibson guitar but it was out of my price range.
