Al Jourgensen Stage-Used Guitar Signed Ministry Band Dave Mustaine Flying V ESP

Al Jourgensen has an active musical career that spans four decades, and is best known as the frontman and lyricist of the industrial metal band Ministry, which he founded in 1981 and of which he remains the only constant member. He was also primary musician of several Ministry-related projects, such as Revolting Cocks, Lard, Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters.  He is regarded as being one of the most prominent figures of industrial music influencing numerous other groups and musicians, both in alternative and industrial-associated acts.

Presented is an actual stage used guitar by the frontman of Ministry, Al Jourgensen. It comes with outstanding provenance as the guitar originates from his business manager at the time. The guitar itself is a black Dave Mustaine Flying V ESP DV8-R. It shows mild signs of use by Jorgensen throughout.

If you’re a fan of the 1980s thrash metal craze, odds are the Flying V shape looks more than familiar. This staple among hard rock and metal guitarists not only looks the part — top-quality woods deliver the gut-punching power and clarity demanded by thrash and other metal subgenres with ease.

The Dave Mustaine Flying V EXP is no different, with a rock-solid mahogany body to lay a warm tonal foundation for a pair of fire-breathing humbuckers. Sweetwater guitarists couldn’t help but shred through a few of their favorite Megadeth riffs on this searing 6-string; its ultra-thin mahogany neck is shaped to a perfect SlimTaper profile to facilitate finger-twisting solos and split-second chord changes. Though sporting stylish and aggressive mother-of-pearl teeth throughout, the Dave Mustaine Flying V EXP’s silky-smooth ebony fingerboard lets you do all the barking with no bite on the fingers, rounding out this impressive instrument with effortless playability.

As an added piece of validation, the body of the guitar was also autographed for the manager in silver felt tip (“8”) by Jourgensen with apropos rock metal industrial music symbolism – both signs of peace and anarchy. Overall, a tremendous concert stage piece ready to rock in your collection!
