New Deans

[Ketzer]

...I thought Dave Mustaine hated floyd rose bridges.

The purple razorback is the most beautiful Dean guitar ever.

yep,pretty cool color combination indeed.

...I thought Dave Mustaine hated floyd rose bridges.

There were FR loaded Mustaine models last years, but were USA limited editions. Apparently the folks over on the Dean forum were clamoring for them so Dean went and made them.

I assume these are for those who missed out on the USA ones due to availability and pricing.

glad to see they didn't put the Oar Headstock in every guitar (I love the other pointy thing they have though, but I don't know how they call it )

and the Purple finish seems great (reminded me a bit of the PRS Paul Allender) but I just can't get used to the ML/Razorback Shape :/

He doesn't it's Kahlers that he hates.

 

[Hemi-Powered Drone]

Look what can be done with that headstock. My mock up is shit, but would it not make a fantastic travel/headless guitar?

EDIT-Wrong Dean thread. Surprised they haven't been merged.

 

[Jakke]

There is an ML-8 being released though...

 

[MetalMike04]

That's actually closer to a true sig than half their DIME stamped catalog.

wow that makes me respect it slightly more but still, if John Lennon made a guitar shaped like a piece of crap, it doent mean its a masterpiece. you see what i mean, im not trying to put down Dime, i friggin love him.

 

[jaretthale78]

i remember when i was 10

 

[Throat Hole]

Wasn't the Primal guitar a jackson, or a BCR?

if memory serves it was BC Rich because he was using Bc Rich and Bc Rich guitars were listed in the products pantera "Used and Abused" in the first two albums i'm almost positive

^ Throat Hole: I read in a couple places that it was a Dean ML body with a neck from a Washburn Rogue Star. But then again I've heard B.C.Rich as well.
I'm not sure if anyone really knows.

i know theres a video of him using somewhere and theres no headstock logo so i dont think anyone but dime knows anyway

That info has been lost with Dime probably. Although some guys on the Dean Forum confirmed that it was a Washburn neck, and they were supposedly former roadies/friends of Dime and Pantera.

And yeah you're right, the original had no logo on the headstock...

 

[veggie7sXe]

Where'd you find these anyway man?

 

[ShadyDavey]

Even with the 80's/90's graphics that is about the one of the only Dime sig's I would considering owning as it's a clear facsimile of a guitar he's known to have played. I actually like it a lot

Apropos of nothing....

 

[Holliday]

The top on the primal concrete sledge guitar looks the balls to be fair.

 

[Yaris]

I have to say I really love the inline headstock compared to the 3+3.

 

[jairic]

I really like the Primal Concrete Sledge styled one; I'm not nuts about the graphics, but I do like a reverse head stock on an ML.

 

[Blind Theory]

With the exception of some USA Razorbacks/Solteros/Caddys, the ONLY guitars that Dean makes that I think are worth a shit are the Dave Mustaine models and the Rusty Cooley models. Both of which I own...so that kind of explains it. And since that is what I honestly believe and because I am not shelling out 3 grand for a fucking guitar (again) my next will be a Charvel So Cal. So Dean, I fare thee well, I hope you stop making Dime models and when you grow up and make guitars for people who aren't 12, you may have my business again.


P.S. even if that PCS Dime sig is like the original, it still looks like a shitty photoshop. That headstock does NOT belong on that guitar shape.

^^^^

i totally agree. never been much of a dean person(actually never) but
