Dean Dimebag Guitars

[THETRIUMPHOFSTEEL]

Has anyone seen or played any of these guitars yet?
I'm tossing up between the two-tone Razorback and the Dime-Flame ML, but I havent seen any in Australia yet.
I'd greatly appreciate all your reviews, comments and real-life pictures.

Re: Dean Dimebag Guitars

I played the Dime o Flame, but didn't like the way the graphic was done. It was a real nice lookin guitar, played nice too, but the graphic looked digitized, but ya can't expect custom shop looks from an import. If it matters, I wouldn't buy one because there are many other great guitars out there in that price range. If it were a toss up between the 2 finishes though, I think the 2 tone Razor might be better, but that's all up to you

Re: Dean Dimebag Guitars

Damn, I hate printed graphics! Maybe the Braziliaburst ML would be the better option.
How much did it weigh? A good guitars gotta have a fair bit of weight for me, and theres so much wood in those shapes that I'd expect them to weigh a ton.

Re: Dean Dimebag Guitars

Are they printed graphic?
I have been wondring why they look cheap.
That's too bad..

Re: Dean Dimebag Guitars

they are surprising light compared to the old ones. i tried a few of the NEW USA's nice guitars but not the same as the early 80's ones. nice fit, finish, fret work & everything else but they just didnt feel right to me. i tried the ML, V & Z, all had flame tops binding & the works.

Re: Dean Dimebag Guitars

The first version of the dime o flame had printed graphics that looked horrible and you could see the pixels. They fixed the problem now so make sure you check the graphic before you buy.

Re: Dean Dimebag Guitars

No kiddin? Gotta check out some new models then, most dealers that have em I doubt will order another till the old one sells. But the guitar was surprisingly light. I dunno, it's probably just me, but I need some weight to the guitar. I've been used to playing my Explorer for so long that lighter guitars don't feel right on me anymore

Re: Dean Dimebag Guitars

Has anyone seen a razorback? How sharp are those points actually, as the images on the Dean website appear to be photoshopped mockups.

Re: Dean Dimebag Guitars

I'm not sure if they've shipped yet, they were scheduled for a september release, but there were holdups at the factory, possibly graphic related. Theres plenty of info on the usa rust razorback around though! Personally, I'd like an FBD and a Two-Tone razorback. Or maybe a stringthru ML79 brazilliaburst and grab a dremel and 'dime-o-fy' it myself [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Dean Dimebag Guitars

I used to have a mid 80's Dean ML, and compared to these new ones the old Dean was much better, just felt more solid and played better. Not that I think the new ones are bad, but I prefer the older model...just my opinion.
