Jackson Y2KV

Jackson Y2KV was a guitar designed by Dave Mustaine, in an effort to create a less aggressive and retro-looking flying V guitar, to contrast for his usual King V. It was mainly used for touring of Risk and The World Needs a Hero as Mustaine's own model, with less than a dozen produced, including some prototypes.[1] Eventually, the Y2KV went mass production and introduced in the Jackson Guitars year 2000 catalog.
