£499 as slighty shop soiled (small headstock mark and 1 slight smudge on edge of body)

More pics when i get it home 2morrow.

ANd i've been so GOOD and saved my money.. until now :P

Neck is fantastic, fast but not narrow, nice and wide like a les paul 8)

Its going to be my D tuned (maybe C) guitar for metalllllll!!

Sounds good as stock (all mahogany with a Dimebucker).. but.. its crying out for a burnt chrome Warpig and Coldsweat setup 8) :twisted:

Update:

Just finished soldering in my ceramic warpig.

Looks sweet in burnt chrome.

Going to give it a test run... 8)

Nice axe! I too might be going back to my original choice of a Dean.

Deans are good value for the money!

never had one before, dont know why... maybe cos before now they have been hard to find (plus i guess they were out of business for a bit)

i think i'm sorted with my 2 guitars now.. god knows i've traded enough around before now ;)

WOOHOO Flameage (lord knows like flameage, re. my SG and Ovation).
My Custom flamed SG is getting WP set with Burnt chrome.
Trouble is Axe and Pups are in Texas with missus and I am here.
Will post pics when reunited but you will prolly have yours by then :)

s/b called the Dime-O-LAME.

Must EVERYONE whore themselves off of the man?

Great guitar no doubt. Happy miles.

At least he WAS using Deans before he was murdered, unlike Krank et all!
Also, his girlfriend is still in dealings with Dean so I would imagine that no 'bad blood' is there.
I actually cannot think of but three manufacturer's selling/advertising products with Daryll's name, which is MANY less than many 'so called' guitar gods both alive or dead.

Well

I dont even LIKE Pantera!

This was the same price as a standard Dean ML but had a better spec and better paint job.. and i wanted a pointy guitar. Jacksons are more expensive and cheaper made\feeling (based on the RR5 i had),and ESP dont do a decent guitar in the range i wanted to spend.

Randy Rhoads has a friggin guitar SHAPE named after him (he played a V and a Les Paul though???!) and you NEVER hear anyone complaining?

George Lynch, Zakk Wylde, Hetfield anyone? Companies\the guys whore stuff they'd never even use!

its all good

Looks good, just swap the bridge for an original FR and BK it. That'll do the trick!

Update:

Wow

It plays GREAT... and for a stock Dean pickup, the neck is awesome.

I like the SD Dimebucker, but its too unfocused and raw... kinda crunchy but doesnt have much 'soul'.. hard to explain.. it sounds GOOD though.

The difference between the Dean and my Legra... well

Legra sounds more classy and feels more solid (smaller guitar but heavier).. totally different necks, both have their place for me.

The Nailbomb sounds strangely restrained, but very soulful and toney.. its not as high output as the SD but it sounds better? Darker and with more clarity maybe.. more of a 'gentleman who is bad when needed' as opposed to a 'reckless youth always going crazy' (strange analogy maybe!)

Got the Legra tuned to D at present, probably switch that round though....

I want to get a Warpig for the Dean.. but i want to be sure its got the outlandish character and balls out sound of the Dimebucker, along with the tone and clarity of the Nailbomb.. hmm>

Yah
is it corean or usa? or japanese made?

chrisola · « **Reply #13 on:** July 09, 2006, 06:10:32 PM »

its korean made (deans either chinese for budget, koren for mid or USA for ultra high specs)

Frets are perfectly cut and set, neck is great.

The graphics arent painted on though, probably some sort of overlay\transfer?

Interestingly, apart from 1 very very small white finish blemish just above the locking nut the QC looks faultless.. except for where the shop i bought it from put a small mark on th HS horn.. that small mark save me £89 off sticker price muahah ;)

So... how can we differ the korean/chinese/usa with each other?!
i mean... does that Dean-Cadillac is korean made(holy shite, tell me not. ahahah it doesn´t look korean at all ahahahaha)
they are selling them here in brazil too.
a massive propaganda.
