I'll be honest, I bought this guitar because I'm a huge fan of Dime, but it's quickly turned into my favorite guitar. The body is comfortable and well balanced, the tone and sustain is amazing, the neck is satin finished and perfect for my hands, tuning is rock solid and the action can get lower than on my Ibanez RG570. In short, it plays better than it has any right to and it just looks so gorgeous. I can really see why Dime loved this body shape so much.
Love it! My first real guitar was a Dean Razorback that I bought in 2008. It was stolen in 2017 but I just got it back 😱 waiting for the replacement tone knobs and some packs fr my sponsor ghs strings to come in before I make a video talking about how I got it back. Anyways, wanted to share that. I’ve always loved ML’s and this struck a little chord with me ❤️🖤
It would be nice to see somebody do a review of the ML WITHOUT, and I can't stress this enough, without playing Pantera or with Dime like tone settings. Something with some more sludgey or boosted midrange. In the vein of Mastodon or the Melvins. I've just seen so many reviews of the ML and they are almost always having Pantera played on them. the ML has so much more potential than just Pantera riffs and licks. Not hating, I'm just saying the ML is mor than just a Pantera guitar. All the love to Dime, but i feel like this had to be said
I mean, who made this guitar truly famous though? I understand and I agree to a certain extent but also you have to think, most people who buy these guitars are fans of dimebag, and probably are going to try and copy his tone. So yeah there’s that. Me, I bought one to use in my sludge metal band, and it works fuckin well with a more boosted fuzz tone.
Pantera, specifically Dimebag, made Dean and this guitar famous. The only reason I know about Dean guitars is because my dad played one in his old band and because he and I both love Dime. If you want to watch people play anything other than Pantera with a Dean ML, then you're in the wrong place. Try school of rock, lol.
What a beauty. Thats not the ML standard though thats the select trans brazillia, ML is 6-700£, yours is 8-900 and is a lot better than the ML. Love this. I have a dime from hell and a slime stealth love them both. I want this next.
I've always wanted a dean but I'm a lefty and finding a lefty dean that's not crazy expensive has been rough! Shecter is home for most lefthanded artists
Hello, im a lefty too and i had the luck of finding one Dean ML X that was from a old man it was very hard to find, i bought it for 5 hundred dollars it souds amazing i hope you find one too 🎸🤘🤘
My house contractor gave me a dirty guitar with 4 strings. It was 2009 Dean MLX. It has good bones but is missing a guitar jack. I took it to my guitar tech in Chicago. I'm looking forward to the rehabbed Dean MLX.
Sup James?!?! Thanks for this review. Like you I have the dime slime and am thinking about picking up this guitar. How would you describe the neck on this ML compared to the dime slime?
Beautiful guitar ! I’m in the market for a Dean Ml & I’m stuck between the Dime slime & this one.. any big differences between the 2 that makes one better then the other ? Hope you can help! Thanks
I'm looking into buying my first guitar and this was the one I was wanting as a back up from the Razorback guitar. and well I'm very pleased with the sound of it. it still has a very very heavy sound that I'm looking for. it sounds very relaxing.
I own a custom shop dean from hell .. that one you have there is the only other one I want .. hope you enjoy it man . Looks great 👍 and sounds pretty dam sweet as well
@@JamieSlays its like . Dime is with me when I play it man . Its probably one of the top 2 guitars I own for ease of playability. If you ever get a chance to play one .. do it.
Is the neck on this Dean ML Select thinner than your Dimeslime neck? I really want a Dimebag guitar but I had the chance to play a Dimeslime once and the neck was a little big for me.
Not as heavy as you might think... I haven't weighed mine, but it weighs less than most Les Pauls I've tried and seems to balance better (no neck dive). I'd take the ML over an LP any day.
just bought one today! will be arriving in a few days. I remember in one of your live streams you had the exact pitch for dime's tuning, if i tune to C# how many cents up do I need to go for Floods? or if its easier for you how many cents down from D?
Lovely guitar. Made me realise I don't know how to play enough Pantera riffs. Nice to hear a metal man say he likes E-standard.

I've never own a Dean, mostly due to guitar center only having the expensive ones to try out. But maybe one day 🤘🔥🔥🤘
I just bought the Dimebag Stealth version of this guitar, it'll arrive on Sunday. Can't wait to finally try a Dean Dimebag guitar.
3:50 that was insane dude!!!!
You could have told me it was a USA model and I would have believed it until I saw the headstock up close. Very nice looking axe!
That looks beautiful!
Yehhhhh Pantera cover?
@@JamieSlays ummmm absolutely
Solid vid! Select is slept on I dropped nickel hardware and did the dimebucker, like a ghetto far beyond driven tribute ml lol

Thanks! I will do that. I recently did a video using a Krank amp and i purposely did just that also. Thanks for the heads up

Dean history is Pantera/Dime history. The two cannot be discussed separately.
If you don't like it, buy one and make the video yourself, otherwise, stop telling creators how to create.

Like you said it's not a "Dime only guitar". Sounds like it has a pretty balanced sound, curious to see what stings, and pickup change will do.

It has good bones but is missing a guitar jack.

That top is perfect. 🤌🔥🔥

damn that thing is beautiful man,...one day bro, imma get one!!
Straighten the neck a little helps with those dime squeals they usually come with a little too much neck relief
Beautiful guitar ! I’m in the market for a Dean Ml & I’m stuck between the Dime slime & this one.. any big differences between the 2 that makes one better then the other ? Hope you can help! Thanks
Correct me if I'm wrong but the new dean select series all have factory a SH5 in bridge position and a APH1 in neck position .
Yeh you are correct tb5 and aph1 but I think mine was different as it was sent from the USA custom shop. But I could be wrong to be fair
Lol now I gotta listen to floods
I'm looking into buying my first guitar and this was the one I was wanting as a back up from the Razorback guitar. and well I'm very pleased with the sound of it. it still has a very very heavy sound that I'm looking for. it sounds very relaxing.
For s first guitar I wouldn't recommend a Floyd.
I own a custom shop dean from hell .. that one you have there is the only other one I want .. hope you enjoy it man . Looks great 👍 and sounds pretty dam sweet as well
Oh sick what’s it like

Is the neck on this Dean ML Select thinner than your Dimeslime neck?
I really want a Dimebag guitar but I had the chance to play a Dimeslime
once and the neck was a little big for me.
Great playing!
Gotta get me an ML sooner or later. Sic axe mate.
Quick question. You mention a foot stool in this vid. Do you use one?
Sounds very good. That guitar is beautiful
Seriously wish I could get one beautiful guitar Jamie 🤘
Nice, I have a Dean Z 79' Re-issue I love it
If that's a v shaped neck, how's it feel when playing leads compared to a C or D shaped neck?
this would be great for a bluegrass gig
Oh, fo sho! Make sure you’re accompanied by a jug, spoon man , harmonica, and a washboard.
I’m looking to get that guitar. Sounds mean!
What riff is that at 5:08 ? I’ve always heard it and never figured out what it was hmm. Awesome vid Jamie and awesome guitar!🤘🏽🤘🏽
@@tophertaylor69 thanks so much! Im definitely using that riff as a warm up
Awesome guitar man! Any thoughts on the made in indonesia vs made in korea? Ive got a 2008 one from korea!
what amp are u using? it sounds awesome!
Quad cortex :)
im gonna try and get one of these i found a guy selling one with dime pickups for only 800
You should try the ml7 select
Good review, how heavy is the guitar? I've always heard that the ML was very heavy
Not as heavy as you might think... I haven't weighed mine, but it weighs less than most Les Pauls I've tried and seems to balance better (no neck dive). I'd take the ML over an LP any day.
super pretty guitar ... sounds great!
Badass axe man keep it metal bro🤘⛓️🤘⛓️
It sounds amazing clean and dirty
Where’s this guy from??? A band or something just TH-cam?
Sounds dope.
looking to find a used Cadillac..🎸🤘❤
How much it weight? Feel substantial?
Substantial but not heavy
Most beautiful thing that dean has to sell atm
Yes!🤘🏽🇺🇸🇬🇧🎸
strings 010?
I have a t shirt just like this one, wish I had the guitar tho
🔥
just bought one today! will be arriving in a few days. I remember in one of your live streams you had the exact pitch for dime's tuning, if i tune to C# how many cents up do I need to go for Floods? or if its easier for you how many cents down from D?
Tune a half step down from c# and then add 40 cents
@@tristangilbert2037 So C standard plus 40 cents.
I would buy one if I had the money
Nissssssssssssssssssce 🍻
🔥🔥🔥🤘
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
First!
Wow that sounds like shit
