The Megadeth frontman shared these Gibson Dave Mustaine Les Paul models this weekend. Will we see these 24-fret signature models soon?

Following on from the Gibson Dave Mustaine Flying V EXP signature guitars, it looks like we may very soon see these Dave Mustaine Les Pauls with 24 frets launch. Currently, there is nothing really to gon but this one image shared on social media by the Megadeth frontman and the phrase "...and on the 8th day, the Les Paul was created"

Mustaine without a Flying V?

Seeing Dave without a Flying V will be an odd experience for many Megadeth fans, as the shape is associated with him.

Specifications?

We don't know any of the specifications yet. I would make an educated guess and say that they look like they share the same ebony fretboard as the Flying V. We know they should share the same compound fretboard radius, 24 medium jumbo frets, and mother-of-pearl “teeth” inlays. I would also assume they use his signature Seymour Duncan Dave Mustaine Thrash Factor Humbuckers.

When are they due?

Watch this space, and we'll update you once any more official information breaks.
