Megadeth fan pays $11k for rare guitar
A Megadeth fan has paid $11,300 USD ($10,687 AUD) on eBay for a rare guitar designed and used by frontman Dave Mustaine. The unknown bidder purchased the Jackson Y2KV 1st Approved Prototype 6442 guitar via the official Megadeth eBay store. It was designed by Mustaine in 1998 and appeared on many magazine covers at the time. The item description reads: “Up for auction is this ultra rare Prototype Jackson Y2KV (J6442) With special branded Jackson logo on the headstock. This natural unfinished Jackson Prototype was designed by Dave Mustaine and presented to him on 12/23/1998, featured on several magazine covers including Guitar Magazine in 1999. This was the first guitar with the final 3+3 Y2KV head, but with dot inlays, rosewood fingerboard, alternate knobs and a blade switch. The body shape was not quite finalized either, but this was the 1st approved prototype, used by Dave Mustaine as reference for the final prototype”. Not a bad piece of heavy metal history, ey?
