Winter NAMM 2012 News
Overall, this is a real winner of a guitar. Dean has outdone themselves in creating an iconic world-class metal axe worthy of a truly original guitar hero like Dave Mustaine. If you have a chance and love playing crushing riffs and righteous over-the-mountaintop solos, this guitar is right up your alley. Playability is off the charts, sound is g...
This guitar is only for the hardcore Trivium fans. The fact that the guys in Trivium didnt even play it for ever long should say something. They went from Gibson and Jackson to dean then back to Gibson and Jackson in about a year. After they switched from Dean they said they had a lot of problems with the guitars they got and they are artists. Y...
Dean is a company whos image has taken a bit of a hit in the recent years. A lot of players feel they have cashed in on the name of Dimebag and I am inclined to agree. There are so many Dimebag signature models now of stuff he he never played. Dimebag amps he never played Dean could change their name to Dimebag guitars. They are trying to court ...
This guitar is not a good instrument, I'm sorry to say. I loved Dimebag Darrell and Pantera when I was a kid, and I still adore his playing to this day. But this to me seems more like a way for Dean to make money than a way to honor Dimebag's memory. I realize that Dean is a business, and the point of a business is to make money, but this guitar...
The paintjob on this guitar is pretty much what makes it special. Dave is a super Christian guy so recently he has begun putting Christian and Angel stuff on his guitars. Some people may like that but I think only the hardcore Mustaine fans will want a guitar like this over a plain black or white model. Other than that this is a good solid guita...
Lots of people are using Razorbacks now not just for the Dimebag connection but because they look the part. To many people they look like how a metal guitar should look. If you are a Dimebag fan the pickups should stick around. They are the 2nd best way to get the Dimebag sound. If you are just getting it for the metal looks you may want to chan...
This guitar is pretty good. I must admit I liked his old ESP guitars better and not his ESP signature. Before his ESP signature he played some Edwards style 67 Flying V copies. I thought those guitars were really cool and wished they had made the signature a more traditional design. If you are a Dean and an Amott fan this guitar is perfect for y...
Not many people play Deans anymore. They have radical looks and people who like them tend to really like Deans. They are good guitars overall. The quality on these made in Korea models is pretty good. They say Korea is the new Japan and I guess that is true. If you are looking for a flying V thats something different and a bit cheaper than a Gib...
This guitar is for old school Dean fans from the 80s. There is not much use for a guitar like this today. Old school Dean and Dimebag fans will love this guitar. Back in the day Dimebag played many unusual Deans like this and now you can get one of those guitars new. If you just love the 80s and love Dean guitars this guitar puts your two loves ...
Dean guitars are good overall but its not really a brand people fall into. If you are playing a Dean that means you wanted to play a dean and were looking to play a dean. Dean guitars are relics from the era of Arena Rock and such. When you play one of these people 100 rows out will be able to tell what you are playing. Dean guitars still has ma...
