I'm literally 17 and I just got into dimebag Darrell about a year ago and I found you and you're just the guy I've been looking forward to tell me all the good shit that Dimebag did
Nice video man! I own 5 of three guitars. Absolutely awesome instruments. However, not to be that guy, but buddy blaze actually gifted the guitar back to him after adding the Floyd, paint, and bill Lawrence pup. He said "hey man, the guitar is yours anyway". Awsome story.
@@aitorcfh That was after it was stolen, he had to pay to get it back. Buddy gave him the guitar in exchange for a Gibson V and originally Buddy was going to make a custom guitar for Dime but gave him the DFH as he couldn't find the time to paint one up for him and said "it was yours anyway so you may as well have it back."
Thank you for this, great mini documentary for sure..Excellent playing too. I loved the Washburns for some reason and noticed he started using them in mid to late 94. After seeing Pantera live in early 99 with Black Sabbath, that was it. I had to have one of his USA models. It took me an eternity and a half to finally own one. The one I bought was a Washburn USA Southern Cross, and it was mint. After about only 3 years of owning it, the poo hit the fan really bad with employment and life, so had to sell it.
Thanks! I can't believe you owned a Southern Cross at one point! I managed to play one a few times and it's an amazing guitar. Would be awesome if we could both find one!
Cool video on an iconic guitar. Picked up a black Razorback used at guitar center bout 5 years ago... Probably one of my favorite guitars I've owned. Dean really came back in a big way for the development and marketing of Dimebag's signature line. I've played a buddies Washburn Stealth a couple times and I have to admit the Washburn's did feel alot nicer and may have even played slightly better than some of the later Dean's (like mine)
thanks for this video ! huge grin on my face when you said companies all try to go back to the simplified tried and true iteration guitar. ( not the expensive end)
I have an 82 Cadillac v neck brass on brass, an 86 Hollywood baby Z, and my absolute pride and joy…83 Baby ML (the coolest, most unique guitar I own). On top of that I have a 2001 79 silver burst ML and a 2004 Michael Shenker V STD. I love Dean guitars and I’m not the biggest Dime fan. They are quite underrated shred machines
Awesome video!!! Love that guitar man.. I’m really curious how the Floyd Rose was installed? I own an 81 Dean ML and I want to install a Floyd on mine. But the guitar body is really thin and the neck angle is really pitched.. Was wondering how it’s done? I’d really appreciate your advice Thank You 🤘🏻
@@anthonypicardy thanks! It was top routed so there's only a top route for the block to sit in and not the actual bridge. Back routing for the springs and claw is the same tho
How would that guitar not be ‘cool’? It’s iconic! Dimebag really championed the ML and therefore it deserves the monicker ‘Dimebag guitar’, and that ought toi be nuff said :-)
Hey man awesome you sharing this just a question about the bridge pup ive been looking for that for so long im guessing its still a bill Lawrence xl500 but with the metal surround ? Any more info if you know where to get these from would be great if you knew anything ?
Listening to this and thinking retrospectively, Dimebag was a huge contribution to Djent. Pantera started in 83, Meshuggah started releasing in May 1991. Cowboys from Hell came out in July 1990. Thrash legends like Metallica and Megadeth I think are also big contributors to Djent and Nu-Metal was a baby version worshipping the riff and drop tunings. Korn started releasing in 1994. There was a solid metal scene in the 1990's running under the more mainstream friendly Grunge. I would also consider someone like Wes Borland from Bizkit to be from the same family of Industrial Metal Instrument sounds. But Dimebag also helped popularise the "Active" sound by using solid state amps with ultra high output Lawrence/Duncans. Now Dimarzio, Seymour Duncan and Bareknuckle have expanded their catalogues with ultra high output, ceramic style bridge pickups with triple bar ceramic magnets. Borland plays a Duncan Invader which is also in this passive philosophy for brutal bridge pickups. Megadeth and Metallica have either high output actives or modern sounding passives. Meshuggah are famous for their contemporary high output passive pickups from Lungren encouraging the "active sound". Dime left a huge imprint.
Nice insight man, Even though I have a USA slime, an original old Dean would still be the holy grail for me if it played well. Also one interesting thing for me which I don't see many people talk about when it comes to top-mounted floyd guitars is that the body's aren't parallel with the neck, so you have more clearance between the strings and body around the bridge pup area, it's a subtle difference, but as someone who picks with their pinky and ring fingers flailing about aimlessly a lot of the time, it makes a bit of difference having the strings further away from the body and gives more freedom of movement for my picking hand! How does it feel to you? ..If you've even noticed it that is.🤣
Cheers man! Love your slime as well. These guitars are really cool and the whole "if you know, you know" applies to them. Personally they both feel great. I grew up playing both styles of trems, wether it was a floyd or 2 point top mount trem. I don't think I prefer one to the other since I like how the feel of the guitar can change by that. Keeps things interesting in my opinion!
This was awesome. ive owned some production dime deans, a stealth and a dime o flame. i miss them both i had to sell em to pay bills. keep up the sick vids man
I have the same guitar another 81 but it's in terrible condition. It had been repainted twice and one of the finishes was not even paint it was like this rubber glue as someone thought it would be nice to have a pink paisley finish that was semi transparent.. then the next coating on top was a mad green sparkley which was cool but wrong on an ML The finishing at some point ruined the binding so it's all got to come off and redone. As I stripped the finishes off I found out it was originally brown like yours so its nice to see what it looked like originally. 👍 It's been in my possession for 10 plus years at this point and I still undecided on what I should do finish wise to it.
Saw your post in the dime group and had to check this out. There was a guy in Europe who had one just like this a while back I think, or the guy who did the Floyd and other fittings was from somewhere in the eu I don’t remember. I just remember falling in love with the color of the guitar. I have a 97 ml ultra I’m trying to have rewired after I glued the scarf joint back together
@@EricMorettin damn man. Y’all guys are lucky. I’d sell an organ to get one. I’m kinda disabled after a wreck at 20 years old and worked for the family business didn’t have insurance. I’m trying to do what work I can but it’s not even enough to have a car payment or a living situation payment.
Back in the 1980's they used to sell ML dean guitars in the Montgomery Ward catalog for $99.00 ...i Remember wishing having one but mom said no that's a lot of money when I was thirty-five years old I bought one from musicians friend for six hundred dollars lime green .
Do you still have the sleep terror gig? Convince Luke to come to Utah if so. I hope you get the chance to come tour the states and I'm so happy somebody at such a high level still appreciated dimebag.
Did you buy this from Finland? I had one which looked exactly like this, with that non-yellowed headstock logo and all so was wondering if this was my old guitar :)
@@EricMorettin Nice to see it in a video. I think I acquired that one around maybe 2005-2007? I bought it from Netherlands IIRC through Dean forum. Was looking the guitar like that for the obvious reasons so it had to have a floyd to put in. The work was done by Ruokangas Guitars (and I remember I hated that the route looked like a graded cheese with that bridge pickup peeking through the routing :D). We also debated whether it had a headstock repair because of that white logo and the barely seeable serial number but Ruokangas couldn't confirm if it was broken before (I guess even if it was it was done well as he couldn't figure whether itd had one done or not) I played a few shows with this guitar but never really liked the sound of it so I eventually traded it for a Jackson SL1. Now looking at it after years it looks so pretty haha. I build guitars myself nowadays so it'd be so fun to still have this around and maybe do a DFH replica out of it. I was offered this back in a trade like a... couple of months? back but wasn't interested, but still. Pretty guitar :)
How do you keep that floating bridge in tune every time I play on a Floyd rose and always banks out and Dime would always be perfectly in tune and harmonic squels
When you look at the Bill Lawrence pickup and it has it's own case with epoxy to fill the gaps. Funny dime didn't just do the same with his neck pickups to stop strings getting caught on dive bombs on the way back. Any colour, open top pickup cover in brass or nickel.
Were this old 80's Deans all made in USA? Also,, how is the neck shape? Does it have the 'V' shape? Lots of cool & exciting infos I didn't know, so thanks again for the great content! \m/

What is the whole craze over the USA made ML's.. i had a chance to play a 2008 Korean Dime Slime ML and i kid you not it was far superior imo. After playing that i kinda lost 100% of my interest in ''being a proud owner of a USA made ML'' im gonna save myself like 4 grand and get the Korean ML lol its better and (IMO) the natural backs look like shit.. almost like it was unfinished or incomplete. But ya back to my original question.. what do you guys think all the hype around the USA ML's vs Korean ML's are about? My best guess is patriotic enthusiasm, and thats cool im down with ♪♫ America Fuck Ya ♪♫.....but im not gonna waste 4 grand on hype.
For me, it's the build quality and the neck shape. The only import that came close to a 2000s USA was the earlier made in China DFH. That felt identical to my 05 USA DFH. The 80s USA Deans are something else though.
