@@Superjet113 thank you so much for sharing your continual grammar skills with the rest of us mediocre readers. It really means a lot to me and the rest of this community who definitely deserve better grammar. If only iPhone proofreaded sentences as you did my novel would be a lot less confusing.
I have a 72 Challenger story. I bought my first car in 79 when I was 18. I had this car for a month when it was stolen at a Van Halen concert. Insurance paid more than double for it and bought a red 72 challenger in new condition for $1100. Wish I still had that car
@@monkeyrater them, too. But how many “proper” brands sells an LP, V or Explorer shaped guitar? Just because they make the corners sharper and slap on a different headstock doesn’t make it a “new” design in my book. It’s just a variation of the original.
Nobody cried when Dime took the ML over to washburn and ripped it off. I see people crying over the ML, they invented it. Dime didn't. Love Dime, but it's Dean's property.
The Washburn Dime 333 was slightly different. The headstock was bigger and more pointy. The horn at the bottom was a little skinnier. And a few other things. It's hard to tell until you put them Next to each other. That and Dean went out of business. That's why Dime went to Washburn. Almost all the guitar makers built a style of guitar like that for him to get his endorsement. But again Washburn built it closest to what Dime approved of.
@@worldssickestmedia2713That's true, and also i'm not sure if Dean has that ML trademarked either way now that I reconsider (in business or not, if they have it trademarked it would be their property though). Either way, i see nothing wrong with what Dean is doing. The Dime washburn is the one i'd rather own, but it's a ripoff of the ML. Hey maybe Dean will go belly up and a better company can start making ML's lol. Maybe Solar could buy the rights to it :)
I have an amazing Dean Elite and a Dean Cadillac Deluxe & they crush! I don't care about how people cry over the colors of the ML stuff. Those people can cry about it somewhere else & it doesn't effect them wasting time in music store and not actually buying one.
Always liked dean. Never owned one. But the way they got screwed by gibson play aufentik BS makes me like the response so much more. If they had won the lawsuit and done this, I may have rolled my eyes, but in the context, more power to them.
@@Ottophil Oh son. I loved Gibson, I always really wanted one, until the play aufentik shit. I never found one that I felt was worth the money at my local stores and the huge quality control range they are notorious for lead to me never buying one online anytime in the last 20 years. Now I never will. They are iconic alright, but being a bum hat company is enough to put me off. I also won't listen to bumhole musicians like Arch Enemy, or anything Phil Anselmo has touched. I also won't ever buy a tesla because of Elon muskrat.
I snagged a Dean Razorback Rust right as they were being sued for it. I'm glad to hear Dime's widow won her lawsuit and got a chunk of my money as she should. I'm not supporting them again after they tried to rip off Dime's widow.
I ordered an ML through reverb. I had to message the seller since it had been a couple days since I placed my order and hadn't heard anything back. Turns out the ML I ordered is on back order until and of august of 2024. I was hoping to get it within a couple days, it's gonna be a long wait😫
I found an Explorer better than a Gibson. Wild Custom Guitars (France) - Axe. Stupid name, amazing guitars. I highly recommend you search and check them out. I have two and would love to see them succeed, but most people get turned off by the name.
Lets be honest. We all love Dean AND Pantera. but the one of the only reasons why Dean is still in business is that they sell the ML series (aka dimebags guitar)
The Dean that got away for me was a candy apple red ML with a cream white pick guard and a tuneomatic bridge... I was hoping for but missed pickguards again this year
I'm actually thoroughly impressed with the "We've already been through hell and back, what are you possibly gonna do to us" mood Dean is in. Love my Dean bass, would love to try one of their guitars, especially a Caddy Straight Six. Maybe if they're in this "Fuck you" mood, they'll bring back the Rising Sun ML like Matt Heafy used to play
Awesome video, agufish 😎🤘🏻🎸 I’ve always liked dean guitars and basses. I use to have dean edge basses and an ml bass at one point. My brother had a razorback guitar and we were given good compliments on our dean instruments(we did sorta went for a ZZ Top kind of thing where we had matching instruments). Other than that, these guitars looks radical. I would totally buy one of these guitars
The Dean Select range of guitars are killer! I have 3 of them, a ML 7 string, Thoroughbred Stealth w/EMG's, and V Fluence... amazing quality for the price. Always comfortable to play and look cool as fuck🤘 Dean fan for life!!!
I always wanted a dime dean as a teen and now as an adult i can finally get my hands on that sweet precious slim dime model finally! ill be looking out for reviews in june when they release before i get one, im hyped but wont pre order.
My question regarding Dean Guitars is this-did Michael Schenker leave? There’s been a ton of speculation regarding Michael being seen with Gibson Flying V’s on his recent tours, but no word regarding his direct ties with either brand. Can you shed some light on this? Thanks in advance!🙏🏻🎸🎧
I hope with dimebag no longer being part of dean, we can get a 24 fret dime ML. That V neck is so comfortable. Or a V neck switchblade. Dean always played good, but always had something on every guitar that ended up being a deal breaker. Usually no 24 frets or no floyd rose. Glad to see we finally have mustaine Vs with floyds
I own a Z-79 and a V-79 for decades. Two of the best playable guitars I ever came to own. Love Dean guitars and I'm glad to see them going strong again!
Deans biggest issue is Dean. As a Tampa bay resident a buddy of mine worked there as a guitar tech for the US models. He checked everything before putting the guitar in its case and shipping it out. He told me Josh Maloney was a drug addict and he carried a Kabar around all the time and he would never stop playing with it. The headquarters is such a mess that he quit. There’s a lot going on there that isn’t being said and the start was when Dimes girlfriend or widow flew in to take out all his guitars in the museum.
As someone who started his guitar journey on Dean models, suck it Gibson, you couldn't stop them. "You can't kill the metal" I believe that if someone wants a guitar shape, they should be allowed, nay, they have the RIGHT to get it from somewhere other than just 1 company. It's also interesting how guitar owners will only rag on cheap or struggling companies about their shapes, but not successful ones. Dean makes an LP, its a problem. ESP has the Eclipse (which looks more like the OG les paul than Dean's does, btw) and no one complains at all. Weird. And inconsistent.
I love and miss dime and I wont stop loving his legendary guitar shape ... SHITTY what all went down but even if They are are not together anymore, no matter what when I play an ML, I'll think about dime weather his names on the guitar or not,
Love those sig exiles. But I'd prefer that maple neck to either only have a 12th fret marker or nothing at all. They look a bit busy with the dots. Almost like budget guitars.
I would like Dean to make the Rapsody bass in 8 and 12 string models again . I really don't like the Schecter Dug Pinnick model 😊 And a Hamer 12string bass are like ghosts from the past😢 If I were to buy a guitar it would be the Cadillac
I get that the design was deans but lets face it, if not for Dime, dean wouldn't be where they're at today. However, dime would've been ok no matter what he chose to play. Dean is actually lucky that the greatest guitarist chose them, not the other way around. Fuckem. They really don't have any cause but greed to be disrespectful to the man and his legacy.
SMOOTH promotional insert there dude🤘🏼 haha. I have it and love it. I use the coin insert for guitar picks. Add that into your next promo and you’ll convince some people because I love having a good amount of pics in there
I love their new lineup. I never paid much attention to Dean in the past but I recently tried and ended up buying the new Vengeance Evertune. It's the only guitar I've played that's on par with Jackson and I've played / owned all the big brands.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Dean guitars. And being in the uk, it seems increasingly harder to get them this side of the pond (or my personal experience) so it’s nice to see them dig there heels in and give a big middle finger to keep on doing what they are doing
NGL the Cadillac and Thoroughbred shapes are my kinda deal, too. Every guitar I own or have ever enjoyed playing has been either a Tele or LP style single cut or a super strat. I'm extremely old school, as well, with my guitar shapes. Also, as someone who has been to Nana's change purse in FL via the Baker Act, the name of that pickup made me LOL so hard. Big chungus CHAOS REIGNS energy FTW.
I have a Dean bow tie shape Budweiser guitar and a mountain shaped Busch beer guitar. I’ve never had less interest in holding a guitar. I’ve never plugged them in. Lesson learned: don’t sell drugs. If you do, accept only cash.
I have (and had) a couple of USA Dean guitars, which are awesome guitars. Long time fan here, still am. I saw them at NAMM, great to see them again! I'd love to see some more in the EU, though...
Can’t lie, I wasn’t really ever a fan of Dean guitars (nothing against them, they just never appealed to me) up until last year when I bought a neon pink Custom Zone. Genuinely one of the best affordable guitars I’ve ever played. Swapped the pick ups out for an EMG in the bridge with a Sustainiac in the neck and managed to get a Floyd Rose 1000 in there too… Now it’s my main guitar haha That said, I LOVE their defiance era (zero f***s given stuff) and the attitude around it! I might just have to pick up a V from them at some point. I’m just worried about neck dive issues with the V shape
I had an MLX back in the day and it was feather-light, don't recall any neck dive issues. That model's basswood with a maple neck though. Maybe an all-mahogany one would be different?
I’m really hoping this is a change for the better. I loved my Dean Dave Mustaine V, and I’m really interested in the new Zero. Hopefully Dean is on their way back up.
Grabbed a bunch of deans!! The jacky vincent, v's, z's, ml's.. but the best playing dean I own is a sky blue 24 fret with a real floyd I bought used for 350. The guitar plays as good as my usa jackson. Why would anyone sell a guitar like that for 350 is beyond me.
I'm happy to see that Dean's new leadership is getting the brand back on track! It would be nice if they brought back the Custom 450 and 750 line of guitars back.
@@diocan7710 Rita is Dime's long time girlfriend. She was left his estate. Dean has had a contract going back to when Dime was alive to use his likeness for the signatures series ML. When Dean started having money problems a few years ago and the contract was up for renewal, they basically shit on Rita and basically said that Dime wasn't worth anything anymore etc.
Frankly, I think their new Kahler-equipped and multiscale models are awesome. Vengeance model is finally NOT Mustaine signature only (I'll be honest, other than for a few very nice exceptions like Terrance Hobbs BC Rich Warlock, I hate signature guitars), though I wish there was a Kahler version, too.
You should try to get a REAL "Dean" guitar. Dean B Zelinsky is still making guitars. I believe they are imports with fit and finish done by him in Chicago.
Big brands abusing trademark law to get around court precedent in copyright law cases surrounding guitar design has to be the most pathetic move they could do, especially on designs they don't actually have any real claim to. Musicman holding a vague trademark over the 4 top 2 bottom tuners on headstocks is an even worse example of this.
What do I think? Dean guitars are barely available in Europe, so even though some of them look very cool, I have to say that I couldn't care less about their new line up.
Did you ever finish the project guitars you showed us soooo long ago . It’s been so long I’ve even forget what they were ..snapped Gibson was one I think .
Not directed at Hunter, but how tf can someone not on this earth anymore leave a company 😭 Besides, Dean was always his iconic guitar over Washburn. Weird move by his estate.
I’ve had my Dime Slime on order for over 2 years and now the offer it without the Dime signature really this pisses me off. Looks like I will be selling it off no use to keep it since it’s not really special anymore.
I just got a Dean acoustic and I wanted to explore the Brand but... HOLY SHIT they have like NO Media or updates . They cant like Send out a Post or something a few times a Month .
That's wild ! Never !? I guess it's possible if you love your Ibanez necks.😅 I've never played an Ibanez that I liked side from one old Talman from Japan that was awesome.
Dean just blocked my FB when I suggested my $150 IYV from Viet Nam could hold it's own next to their $2000 to $3000 current models. F Dean Z guitars. Overpriced.
im glad schenker went back to the gibson now if we can just get rid of his hat and give him a jean jacket lol and that scarf needs to go also i ve got couple deans but i hate the headstock

@@matthewcoleperry3485*proofread (red)
I have to admit that I'm a Gibson nerd. But... If you want an Explorer without any neck dive, get yourself a Dean.
Surprising since their headstocks are so ginormous lol
How can such a big and heavy body have neck dive lol
@@kelvinklauckbecause mahogany is a lighter wood, so the design of the guitar allows for dive.
I have a 72 Challenger story. I bought my first car in 79 when I was 18. I had this car for a month when it was stolen at a Van Halen concert. Insurance paid more than double for it and bought a red 72 challenger in new condition for $1100. Wish I still had that car
And gas was about .85 a gallon,that’s all either was worth then lmao
Finally someone with the balls to do a proper Explorer shape without putting kinks in the shape to avoid copyright problems with Gibson
There’s tons of companies who rip off Gibson and other brands all the time!
@@pacovl46 By 'tons' you mean the tons of chinese companies that sell electric guitars on Amazon
Its reminiscent but It isnt the proper Explorer shape, its better than jackson's or schecter's though

And actually zelinsky did fact check
The stealths look better than the ml imo being a little pointier it looks better.

I don't care about how people cry over the colors of the ML stuff. Those people can cry about it somewhere else & it doesn't effect them wasting time in music store and not actually buying one.
okay, wait a second, that Challenger car project deserves an extra video!
I know this is a guitar related channel, but come on!
Don't several of these new models still infringe on Gibson's trademarks? Not that I ever cared about it... but they don't need to be sued again!
Gibson has become the spoiled brat of guitar brands
Bro that sponsor tie in was smoooooth lol
Saw it coming a mile off!
Dean will always have a special place in my heart. The Dean ML is iconic!

I thought I'd never really like dean after playing a buddies razorback, but I got an Exile and absolutely love it. Been a fan ever since
DEAN'S current attitude reminds me of that Jason Statham pic from the end of Crank 2 where he is on Fire and Giving the finger, what a way to live!
What ever happened with B.C Rich Guitars? I am 100% positive that a few of these *shapes* are based off of their's. 🤔

You should try to get a REAL "Dean" guitar. Dean B Zelinsky is still making guitars. I believe they are imports with fit and finish done by him in Chicago.
So glad i bought a far beyond driven ml, just before this latest lawsuit thing! Wishing Dean the best!
They need to fix their European distribution. Dean guitars is rare as hell to find here, at least for me.
Hey Hunter, can we talk about Adam from Royal Republic and his new Epiphone explorer that's 84 style?
The Stealth was a Washburn, Dean stole it.
It’s funny That dean can’t make their original Z anymore and it’s cool that I was able to get one before they stopped
Big brands abusing trademark law to get around court precedent in copyright law cases surrounding guitar design has to be the most pathetic move they could do, especially on designs they don't actually have any real claim to.
Musicman holding a vague trademark over the 4 top 2 bottom tuners on headstocks is an even worse example of this.
Think these’ll be on Thomann?
The Lozinak isn't out yet? Don't see anywhere selling them. The white one is awesome.
What do I think? Dean guitars are barely available in Europe, so even though some of them look very cool, I have to say that I couldn't care less about their new line up.
Those Jon Donais signatures remind me of Schecter Banshee's first edition. And they are just perfect
Did you ever finish the project guitars you showed us soooo long ago . It’s been so long I’ve even forget what they were ..snapped Gibson was one I think .
Wasn't ready for a premier league reference, YNWA 💪
Not directed at Hunter, but how tf can someone not on this earth anymore leave a company 😭 Besides, Dean was always his iconic guitar over Washburn. Weird
move by his estate.
I love that new Kerry king shape, reminds me of the warlock day's.
Genuinely hate how smooth that sponsor segue was
I’ve had my Dime Slime on order for over 2 years and now the offer it without the Dime signature really this pisses me off. Looks like I will be selling it off no use to keep it since it’s not really special anymore.
I just got a Dean acoustic and I wanted to explore the Brand but... HOLY SHIT they have like NO Media or updates . They cant like Send out a Post or something a few times a Month .
I've never played a Dean guitar I've enjoyed. However, I absolutely love the sheer lack of fucks they give towards Gibson and their IP/shapes 😂😂😂
That's wild ! Never !? I guess it's possible if you love your Ibanez necks.😅
I've never played an Ibanez that I liked side from one old Talman from Japan that was awesome.
Dean's rule . Looking forward to Dime's, too . .all cool w me . .
I love dean I have too MLs and a evo and they just feel better than my other vuitars
that red tibbet looks dope and the nile sig is sick
I hope Dean doesn't disappoint me and goes much further..it's aaaalll about the underdogs 😮😂
They’re not the underdogs.
@@oopsydaizi3s824 THX man
Dean just blocked my FB when I suggested my $150 IYV from Viet Nam could hold it's own next to their $2000 to $3000 current models. F Dean Z guitars. Overpriced.
im glad schenker went back to the gibson now if we can just get rid of his hat and give him a jean jacket lol and that scarf needs to go also i ve got couple deans but i hate the headstock
