Evan Rubinson running Dean Guitars into the ground

It's a Gibson headstock, I think they also used it on the Moderne.

The V in your video is the Adam Jones Video and you can get it for only 21.499 €

is this a gibson V with a dean V headstock??

It's the "original" V, or "split", headstock from the late 50's. The V, Explorer, and Moderne used this headstock.

It's important to remember that when Dean Z. began making guitars they were almost exclusively 1:1 copies of Gibsons, and the headstock, which by that time Gibson hadn't used for years, was the one he stuck with.

well, TIL!

i wonder if everyone knew the polarizing V headstock is actually playing authentic™, would there would be so much angst and mean words typed into guitar forums.

Dimebag's girlfriend: I sued Dean and they can't sell Dime Guitars anymore!

Dean Zelinsky: I'm making the new Dime Guitars!

Dean Guitars: wE gOT "gImE dUiTaRZ"!

Oh most definitely. Dean knew what they were doing. Now they can sell "Dime" guitars and not have to share any profits with Rita. They're really taking that "No Fucks Given" motto of theirs to heart.

 

[jrn1308]

I'd take the upper two.

Slime might be less expensive as there’s no more sig linked to it ? Or it is still a dime model ?
Or a rita sig ? I’m lost here lol

Just plain MLs.

It's a smart move. If you don't give a shit about Dime these are appealing being just straight forward MLs in some reasonable finishes (mostly), and if you do care about Dime they're close enough to make most happy.

 

[jrn1308]

Do we have any infos on the 2024 yet? Just saw the MLs are about 900$, so probably equipped with a FR special?

Also that Karl Sanders signature looks sick:

I keep hoping to see a dealer receive one of these. I could have sworn Randall at Chondro said he ordered one but maybe not…

I think the sigs are all around 1600

I wanted a black kyle 6v sanders so much instead of the graphic they put on it

I can't see why anyone would be upset about the guitars being closer to what dime would have picked up. Seems the 2 biggest complaints throughout the years are fixed, the razorblade inlay and the DIME logo. If these are reasonably priced I might grab the tobacco burst when they start hitting shelves.

I'm glad Dean are putting these guitars out. I can't stand MLs and I'd never buy one (as cool as the slime one looks, kind of) but the fact they're doing this and cutting Dime's scabrous ex just makes me happy.

 

[Mathemagician]

That blue/black fade “we have dime at home” looks pretty cool to me ngl. Kinda synth wave vibe from it.

The Karl Sander’s have always been on my watchlist as have the Michael ammot sits ever since his first lawsuit ESP V.

Damn lemme get off this forum right quick.

So...the head guy of Armadillo Enterprises inboxed me to send me one of thier "No F*cks Given" t-shirts as a thank you for making a FB post about their new lineup. I honestly had to check several times just to make sure it wasn't some angry Pantera fanboi trying to get my address . Strange....And yes I'm gonna wear the shirt. Phuck y'all. Don't judge me

 

[STRHelvete]

Update...it's real. Armadillo's president legit sent me a shirt. This is one of the oddest things to have ever happened to me...and that says a lot

They say zero fucks given, but changing the shape of the horn on the Z to be less like an explorer says otherwise.

I also find it weird saying Zero F*cks, when surely zero would mean it being uncensored?
