Mustaine used [[B.C. Rich]] guitars early in his career (and for his entire duration with Metallica), most notably a B.C. Rich Bich 10 string with just the regular six strings. First the guitar started in a natural finish, but Mustaine painted it black around the time 'Peace Sells' was released. In 1987, he switched to [[Jackson Guitars]]. In March 2009, while he was guest hosting [[Bruce Dickinson]]'s Friday night radio show, Mustaine attributed his choice of the [[Flying V]] guitar to being a fan of [[UFO (band)|UFO]]'s [[Michael Schenker]] when he was growing up.
After switching to Jackson Guitars he helped to re-design the guitar maker's version of the [[Jackson King V|King V]] model (at the time, it was a "double Rhoads size" meaning it had two of the longer fins from the RR). The reshaped Mustaine KV1 model had slightly shorter fins,
Mustaine later switched to [[ESP Guitars]]. The company released the DV8 signature model in the 2004 NAMM convention also at which time Mustaine announced his ESP endorsement deal. In 2005, Mustaine and ESP teamed up to release the ESP Axxion, (pronounced Action), in order to celebrate Megadeth's 20th anniversary. The ESP Axxion and ESP DV8 were both successful and cheaper models such as the LTD-DV8 R, LTD DV200 and the LTD Axxion were released to target a bigger market.
