I wish I still had mine. Way back in the late 90s I had that exact Slime and a Jackson Kelly that I had to sell to be able to buy my kids something for Christmas. I had lost my job and had no money. I really miss it. Later on when Dime went to Dean I saw that his Dime O Flame was going to be available. I preordered it that day, but after receiving it I was disappointed. The fretboard would cut my fingers open and it never performed anything like my Washburn. Thanks for sharing your video, it brought back great memories of the one that got away.
Thanks man, i appreciate that. Yea, the dean guitars are really pretty much garbage. I remember seeing the dime flame and noticing how cheap it looked and how the print was super pixilated. Really low quality. That's why I never bought one. In all truth the washburns aren't the best quality either, but they're okay. I don't really like the way it plays or sounds but as for a conversation starter it's kinda nice to have.
Man that's such a killer guitar! I'm glad you finally got it back. What an investment piece and terribly fun to play. That's a keeper for sure!! Thanks for sharing!

Killer guitar, and dope shirt. I remember hearing Unto the Locust shortly after it came out when I was 16. Picked up the deluxe edition, and the acoustic performance of Darkness Within is one of my faves to this day. I'd love to get a dime guitar some day!
Thanks, I appreciate that. Yea unto the locust is a sick album. I didn't appreciate it at first but slowly it grew on me and now years later I think it's a massive album. Major credit to the songwriting on that album for sure. I am hell is a rager everytime. As far as the dime guitar goes its okay, but nothing too special. I don't think it sounds anywhere as killer as my jacksons or my solar for that matter. For the price that ppl are asking for these guitars nowadays I'd say save your money. You can buy something much better for a much lower price. But its still a nice looking guitar.
@@MrCbrogers love the guitar, it looks amazing! Do you think the Dean import ones would be of equal or better quality? I am looking at those and the Dean prices seem more reasonable. Also would you consider selling yours?
@@tameemahmed7006 thanks but it's not for sale. I get a lot of offers to sell but so far I've turned them all down lol. Secondly, I think deans aren't any good. I don't understand why ppl think they're quality guitars bc they're not. I won't even buy one. Save your money and buy a better quality guitar from a reputable company.
The headstock is offset, as far as the body goes I find think theres much difference dimensions wise, but I cant tell you for certain bc I currently do not own a dean ml. I imagine that the body is pretty close in specs to a dean ml though.
Holy shit, you bought that at Musician's Planet Mars at Memorial City Mall? Dude, I bought a Washburn Culprit (and other guitars) from them in 1998. I spent a lot of time in that place.
I have one of these as well. I’m I the UK bought it for £549 new in early 2000’s. mine is also Korean but with the natural gloss wood on the back of the body and the neck. Mine has the slime finish on the headstock. I changed the pickups to a real Bill Lawrence L500XL and a zebra 59 in the neck and it is an absolute beast. Mine has the Buzz Feiten tuning system logo on the back of the headstock and its great. You can dive bomb squeal all over and the tuning stays rock solid. It’s great to see a few variations. My friend had a 333 dimebolt but that was made in China and the quality difference is huge compared to the Korean ones. I’d love to try one of the Americans. I guess we got good ones. Cheers. Great video. 🤘🏼

@@WizardBallz I can't really say bc ive never owned one of the Chinese models, I've probably played a few but can't remember how I liked them. I just know that I really like mine and have a pretty good opinion on the Korean models.
i saw washburn dimeslime at a pawnshop that has brown on the back (instead of green) of it no serial number whatsoever and no plate for the floyd or screws where one would go...wondering if its legit or fake
Even more so since I had all the newer pickups put in and had all the electronics and wiring replaced with better parts. Plays better now than it did when I bought it.
yeah it's dope. his washburns are legend. my favorite will always be the BlackJack. Not fancy, but still has his name on it and has that awesome offset V head.

@@fredshred8397 yea it just baffles me that ppl will pay that price for these guitars. They're okay, but not that badass. You can buy a much better guitar for the same price or less even.
Ya know interestingly enough...Dime didn't like a super low action. At some point Grady said he liked the action a little higher, so he could really get his fingers under the strings. Which to mean kinda sounded counter intuitive to Dimes soloing. I guess he was just that damn good as to not need low action, but could still shred like he did. RIP Dime
She's real pretty, I've just bought a korean washburn 333 dimebolt that was signed by Vinnie Paul and now I have slight buyers remorse after hearing how much you got your one for. Although I also have a dean ml dime signature and a chinese knock-off washburn D3, I got both from a friend for litteraly nothing (helped him move house and he didn't have space for them) so I don't feel too bad, the knock-off looks good and it's made out of the right materials but the quality of it sucks, more of a wall hanger. The deans a little rough but after a bit of work, it sounds ok and plays kinda alright although overall I've found it a bit underwhelming, not sure where it was made, I've heard korean deans are significantly superior to the chinese ones, which makes me think mines from china. For me, the washburn is 'the' dime guitar to have, I wish that washburn had kept their rights to produce dimebag's guitars instead of it going over to dean after his death, the 'dean from hell' signature they make has made in china on the back of the headstock and the ones I've played all felt way too cheap and nasty for a £650 ($899) guitar. I noticed in one of the comments you said your's is a '99, according to washburns website it should have a 24" 3/4 scale length, an alder body and mahogany neck, earlier ones where maple, and the trem is a washburn 600S, and I'm pretty sure yours is korean. The oldest chinese 333's I've seen were 2001, the early ones were all korean and I think they moved production of the 333 back to korea in either 2004 or 2005, who knows, either way it's a sick guitar and definately a keeper.
@@MrCbrogers it is, ill definitely do a walk around on my channel with her, I got a pretty decent setup.full stack Randell 100 head, a crate stack, and a ibanez stack, with the boss me 80 possessor
I've actually never put my hands on any of that stuff. I don't even know where to get some of that stuff around here where I live in Oklahoma City. If I can track something down that appeals to me then I'll purchase it and give it an honest review.
I own the usa custom shop dean dime slime ml version it's a 2020 model last one that was online and it's just as good or better than the old washburn usa custom shops which this video shows the made in china version i believe possibly Indonesia but I dont think so which still is ok but once u play a usa version the necks are completely different in the way they feel and kinda spoils my high end imports even with the same hardware and stuff so ppl totally sleep on the dean custom shop guitars so right now is the best time to get one even my custom shop production model dime slime ml the only one u can buy without waiting for backorder for months theres one in Japan for over 6 grand double what they are new and I'm waiting on a backorder for the 1 out of 100 dean usa custom shop far beyond driven ml which is same as my slime but with different pickups and color. Plus if u watch any videos of the dean dime usa guitars their quality control is one of the best on the market when it comes to usa guitars for sure the wiring speaks for itself u cant even see the wires every single detail and nook and cranny has been looked over and made sure that if u take it apart u see the best quality under the pickups are slimed as well and both of mine have the 5a flamed top and they have the top mount floyd rose original with a 3 degree neck pitch angle so that the top mount doesn't need to be recessed in order to pull back like a recessed floyd can because the guitars are built like hardtails that have a floyd on them because the original Dean's never had Floyd's and hardtail guitars have a 3 degree pitch in the neck angle so if u put a floyd on the floyd will be mounted much higher off the body in order to have the action perfect but also it allows to pull back just as much as any recessed floyd and my fbd is within ounces of the real guitars weight it's crazy the detail the dean luthiers go to and these guys some of them were there making guitars actually for dime before he passed and to have 2 guitars built to dimes exact specs from the guys in the Tampa custom shop who helped build dimes original Dean's with damageplan theres some real details which make the Dean's superior from the washburns in my opinion and also in dimes opinion he left washburn quicker than can be the second he got word dean was reopening. Ill always give the washburn the win with looks I love the tweaking dime did to the ml to differentiate from the original but the Bottom line is just try a usa dean u can get more than 2 usas for the price of one used washburn dime and look at the used prices of dean custom shop dime guitars they're doing the same thing the washburn guitars are when posted used in good condition cuz ppl are gettin hip to the fact the reason nobody ever sees usa Dean's on guitar center shelfs is because they're sold before they can make it to the shelf and the original owner rarely sells because they're really the best guitar I've ever played the neck is so unique and comfortable you realize right away why he played this shape and only this shape because once u get used to it most other guitars feel like toys almost.
Not to disagree with you but I've put my hands on more than a few deans, usa made and some not and I wasn't that impressed. Just bc one person likes a certain brand doesnt necessarily mean they are that much better. We all have specific tastes and certain things we look for and like in guitars, thats why there are so many different types of guitars out there on the market. I don't even have any desire to purchase any dean dime models. I'm happy just having my washburn as a collectors piece, and I'm good with just having this one. I don't even so much like playing on the ml bodystyle. I'm a flying vee guy thru and thru. But I appreciate the story about your guitar, its awesome you snagged that while you could. Enjoy it. As long as you dig it, I think that's the most important thing.
I actually like his trendkill guitar the most. It's just such a badass design. I wasn't much of a fan of the primal concrete sledge 6 guitar. Kinda goofy looking for my tastes. But yea, the dimeslime is definitely one of his best looking guitars.
Well, I won't be like these dimebag elitists that talk shit on anyone who wants to get their hands on a washburn dimebag series, but it is a hard find. But they are out there. Just keep looking and maybe you'll find one. Thanks for watching the video. Subscribe to my channel bc I'm dropping new videos all the time.
Possibly true. But I will say this, I recently switched to using Jackson guitars (which are made in Indonesia) and I can tell you the quality of the higher end models are off the charts incredible. I dont have any other guitars that feel, play and sound like my Jacksons, and I own a lot of guitars. Thanks for watching and for the comments.
@@robwoodcme yea its a kool looking guitar but that's about it. It sounds okay but not anywhere what I would like it to sound like that. Truthfully, the hype over these guitars is a bit exaggerated. It's nice and all but my jacksons play and sound so much better.
@@robwoodcme I understand completely. I feel that way about the Rob Arnold sig series guitar, if I can ever get my grubby hands on one I will. We all have those certain guitars that just mean so much more to us than other guitars, and I get that. Sometimes, I do think about selling the Dime just so ppl will stop hitting me up about it.

Not to disagree with you but I've put my hands on more than a few deans, usa made and some not and I wasn't that impressed. Just bc one person likes a certain brand doesnt necessarily mean they are that much better. We all have specific tastes and certain things we look for and like in guitars, thats why there are so many different types of guitars out there on the market. I don't even have any desire to purchase any dean dime models. I'm happy just having my washburn as a collectors piece, and I'm good with just having this one. I don't even so much like playing on the ml bodystyle. I'm a flying vee guy thru and thru. But I appreciate the story about your guitar, its awesome you snagged that while you could. Enjoy it. As long as you dig it, I think that's the most important thing.
I always thought the Washburn Dimeslime was his coolest, then the Dean From Hell and then the Primal Concrete Sledge 6 inline headstock Dean ML.
I actually like his trendkill guitar the most. It's just such a badass design. I wasn't much of a fan of the primal concrete sledge 6 guitar. Kinda goofy looking for my tastes. But yea, the dimeslime is definitely one of his best looking guitars.
Youre absolutely right. That guitar is the fucking tits.
Oh it totally is.
I have one with a d tuna on it
I want to get on but so many Chinese copies , a chibson can spot a mile away .
Well, I won't be like these dimebag elitists that talk shit on anyone who wants to get their hands on a washburn dimebag series, but it is a hard find. But they are out there. Just keep looking and maybe you'll find one. Thanks for watching the video. Subscribe to my channel bc I'm dropping new videos all the time.
Yea I bet it plays amazing , or else ESP wouldn’t still be making all tha highest end LTD guitars in Korea like my Sparkle Ouija
Possibly true. But I will say this, I recently switched to using Jackson guitars (which are made in Indonesia) and I can tell you the quality of the higher end models are off the charts incredible. I dont have any other guitars that feel, play and sound like my Jacksons, and I own a lot of guitars. Thanks for watching and for the comments.
I’ll give you 2k and a new 250 dirt bike for that guitar lol. Seriously tho
How bout a go kart instead of the dirt bike? Lol
Ya I bought one in 1998 and lost it in high school, been searching for one Ever since.
@@robwoodcme yea its a kool looking guitar but that's about it. It sounds okay but not anywhere what I would like it to sound like that. Truthfully, the hype over these guitars is a bit exaggerated. It's nice and all but my jacksons play and sound so much better.
So true I just really want one on the wall with all my other guitars that haven’t been played in 20 years lol…
@@robwoodcme I understand completely. I feel that way about the Rob Arnold sig series guitar, if I can ever get my grubby hands on one I will. We all have those certain guitars that just mean so much more to us than other guitars, and I get that. Sometimes, I do think about selling the Dime just so ppl will stop hitting me up about it.
Nice family member 🤬.
Yea i feel the same way. I'm just glad I was able to get it back. That wont ever happen again.
