Over 150 items of music gear from Megadeth<\/a> frontman Dave Mustaine<\/a>\u2019s career \u2013 including signature guitars, amps, pedals and more instruments used onstage and in the recording studio \u2013 will soon be available to fans via the Reverb.com marketplace.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019ve been playing and touring for as long as I have, you tend to amass quite a collection of gear. They\u2019re great instruments and they represent more than 40 years of playing, but I\u2019ve got more than I could possibly use myself,\u201d Mustaine said of the sale.<\/p>\n

\u201cI owe so much to my fans. If it wasn\u2019t for them, I wouldn\u2019t even have all this gear. I\u2019d rather give it back to them than let it sit and collect dust.\u201d The Official Dave Mustaine Reverb Shop<\/a> opens November 4th.<\/p>\n

The sale includes over 20 of Mustaine\u2019s signature guitars \u2013 like the \u201cHoly Grail\u201d V (#1 of only 33 made) and his Zero Korina (#10 of 50 made) \u2013 as well as the band\u2019s stage-used Akai MPC1000 drum machine, a drum kit featuring Peace Sells<\/em>-era artwork and dozens more music gear from his personal collection, with many of the items also autographed by Mustaine.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a lot, a lot, a lot of gear. I\u2019ve got a lot of double-neck guitars, I\u2019ve got a lot of prototype stuff. I\u2019ve got absolutely killer collector\u2019s item stuff for the right guy,\u201d Mustaine added. \u201cFor me, my job is to put everything I can into this guitar so that when it gets put into somebody else\u2019s hands, I can say \u2018This is the guitar that wrote \u2018Holy Wars.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Mustaine is the latest artist to sell their instruments on Reverb: In recent years, Green Day teamed<\/a> with the marketplace to sell over 100 career-spanning musical items, while Linkin Park, Mastodon and Moby (who sold his record collection<\/a>) have also employed Reverb to clear out their inventory.<\/p>\n

The Megadeth singer, who in June revealed he is battling throat cancer<\/a> before a \u201cvery positive<\/a>\u201d prognosis in September, said of the sale, \u201cWhen I die, I don\u2019t want a guitar in my coffin. Some of these guys want to be buried with stuff\u2014I don\u2019t want to die. I want to live forever.\u201d<\/p>\n
