Full Description

DMT Design Pickups

Loaded with two DMT Designed humbucking pickups in the bridge and neck position, the Dave Mustaine United Abomination delivers a raw and punchy tone with plenty of bottom end and screaming highs. Perfect for a range of hard rock and metal styles, the DMT Design humbuckers particularly excel when used for chugging rhythms and fierce lead licks.

V Series Body Shape

This addition to Dave Mustaine's signature lineup is complete with a striking custom United Abomination graphic, that will stand out on any stage. Its V-shaped basswood body provides a lightweight guitar that can be wielded all night long. This iconic body shape is ideal for soloists who require full access to the entire fingerboard. The overall design of the guitar depicts a Mustaine-inspired, killer appearance.

Lightweight Basswood Body

This Dave Mustaine Signature Guitar is crafted with an all basswood body, which adds fat, yet balanced tones with excellent dynamics and tone definition to the overall tone. The basswood body is lightweight, while the V shape offers easy access to the higher frets for a comfortable playing experience.

Smooth Maple Neck & Jatoba Fingerboard

The Dave Mustaine VMNTX UA features a smooth maple neck which enables fast and comfortable playing. The maple neck yields bright and twangy tones with amazing clarity and the bolt-on neck is paired with a jatoba fingerboard which work together to create bright sounds with warm lows.
