I'm actually looking for one but won't import from the US. There's a good chance a japanese fan will cave in and pay the stupid asked price.

I smell Cort Indonesia. And I say that as a compliment, given the quality the dish out nowadays.

So Axe Palace just got in a USA Slime and this one didn’t have Dime’s signature anywhere on it. Up until this point, the USA Dimes that dealers have been receiving from their order backlogs all still had the Dime name on them (My USA stealth came in ~August and had it). I still have one USA Dime pending delivery from Chondro…I hope it has the name.

I liked it so much, it (that exact one) now sits in the other room. I had my eye on this guitar the first time I saw Miyako holding it. IT was built in 2020 though, not 2021. Miyako's was built in 2019.

Well, I got the price down a little, but I paid as I wanted the USA model (knowing it would be a rare find a priced high).

Strange. I mean that they release MLs is consequential since it's a classic Dean shape. Not sure about the Stealth, but the Razorback is a shape created by Dimebag and I thought that shape belongs to the Dime Estate.

I'm wondering if they won the lawsuit or something. It's highly unlikely they just decided to sell guitars that they can't legally

Stuff like this takes some time, there are appeals and hearings etc., probably hedging that they can clear more cash between then and now to make it worth it, especially if the orders were already in.

About that Dean & Dime shituation, from 7:30



I don't see it as critical as Ola. I'd even buy that slime and brazilia MLs once they are available here in Germany. Once that happens it will be the easiest and cheapest way to get a proper Dime guitar (with a few mods). Dean Zelisnky and Rita a big with announcing and teasing Dime Guitarz but I doubt there is something happening in the near future. The website ist just on "coming soon..." for like 5 months now and every guitar Dean Zelinsky teased so far look like some really pricey US models.

yeah, no worse than the Hammett gibson LP which is just the use of a name, Gibson sells SG without Angus name on it. Dean can sell Slime ML without dime signature, not a big deal...
Ola could be also critical about the Pantera tribute tour ....
