Hej Ola! Wow that brought back memories, I was given this exact model as my first endorsement back in 2002. Had 2 of these, but sold them later on. Did some Dream Evil / Firewind albums & tours w/ it up until 2004. Good to see u got one, being the massive Dimebag fan that you are. 👍🏻👍🏻 Gus.
From all your "little penis friends". We all love you Ola. 2020 has been a year for everyone yet you continue to deliver quaulty content. Love these in depth instrument videos!
Ola buy a pack of playing cards and use them to hold your bridge up. They won't scratch the finish and you can dictate the bridge location with the amount of cards used. Cheap and easy.
3m automotive rubbing compound. works fine by hand for small spot. Plastic is harder to remove scratch than clear coat / paint but it still does the job.
I always use the backplate from my guitar on my Floyd when changing strings. It won't scratch the body and the plastic is strong enough to hold the pressure.
I have that guitar! Mine was signed on the pick guard by Dime along with a batch of others at Musician’s Friend before I bought it. I took the mirror guard off and used it as a stencil to make a cream pick guard to put on the guitar and I keep Dime’s sig. safe in a shoe box. I put a Bill & Becky 500XL and also a Tremel-No in it. They don’t keep tuning at all with that bridge. It’s good to see you make a video about it! These guitars got very little attention and it’s a shame!
I freaking love the channel. I purchased a Washburn Steve Stevens guitar back k think it was 1990. Its the black with gold hardware. That guitar was sweet. The pickups was mounted to the body in as team of the ring a n d suspended. The store was Baker music in Gadsden Alabama. They were a Washburn dealer so the guy that owned it knew Dime. In 2004 dime actually mailed the guy a personal guy I tar of his. K think Damage Plan had a show in Atlanta. It was either Atlanta or Birmingham Alabama. I remember the guitar when it got to the shop. Dime was go b no do a meet and greet thing for the store. Things happened and the guitar sat there I k the back. I actually got to play it. That was so cool. You know some of the guitars Dime had like the rebel flag. Dime didnt have the original version. This guy from the shop would have some custom shops done. At NAMM Dime seen them the rebel flag. Dime actually had the second one. The stores long closed now. I remember going in for strings and sometimes not leaving till 3 or 4 am shoot we've had the store covered up many times a lot ous would play after they closed and 9an we'd still be there opening up again. I was so excited to meet Dime. I never got to. It was really cool though hearing the st I ties about Dime and the guitars. There was a few times Dime would trade for things in the shop. I was watching your video. Had to tell about my Washburn and Dime stories. Keep on bending bending those strings. Keep on Kreating that awesome Kontent!
I do the same thing with leaving the ball-ends on, but not from laziness: if like me you don't want to put a new string on every time you break one (and the way I yank on the Floyd to scream those harmonics out, that's quite often!), you put a bunch of wraps around the tuning posts. Leaving the ball-ends on allows them to act like self-locking strings: I can wind that string right out til there's no wraps left on the post and it won't slip out while I trim the other end down and lock it back in the bridge. Then retune and it's done. Point isn't about time saving or laziness, but means I get 3 or 4 string-snaps from each string.
Picked up a Imported(China) 04 Dime Washburn Lightning Bolt a few months ago for 100$. Bought it from some tweaker that painted over the lightning bolts in glow in the dark paint and painted the neck. Wet sanded the whole thing, buff/polish, put in a set of SD Hot Rodded pickups, & rewired everything. Sounds awesome and looks amazing now!
My favorite Dime model was the Washburn Stealth with the slime green paint job and yellow lightning bolts. It had the dimebucker in the bridge and a single coil in the neck. Not even sure they ever made one for the public or if it was a one off for dime himself. The snake skin one Washburn gave him on the "3" home video was sweet too!
I had a Culprit. Bought it new from Musicians Friend. The body shape was different and the head stock was different. The body did not have that loopy circle cut out. Was more like an explorer. The finger board was a very nice Indian Rose wood. Wish I still had it.
I just remembered something. The Baker musick on broad street in Gadsden Alabama. One of the owners was blind. He was blind at birth. The dude walked around ìn that shop. Normal like anybody else would. I was fortunate to go on a couple trips to churches to let him tune their piano. The dude had perfect hearing. He tuned a piano even went in and changed strings. I fidnt get to see him c hang strings in the piano. But watching him work was out of this world. Tuning strictly by ear. The guitar is really cool.
Ola! I always used a dead 9v battery that was wrapped in a little electrical tape. Just dip the bar a little and put it in there. It does make the bridge sit uneven but as long as you tune up and have your springs adjusted it should go back to mostly original position.
I've heard that a product called Simple Green is also good for cleaning-off all the dirt and spooge from off of a guitar fretboard, it plus an old toothbrush works wonders.
I looked for that guitar for 8 years..finally found it in a little shop in Flat Rock Michigan with a broken off headstock.. Paid 300 for it.. I fixed it and cant tell it was ever broken...one of my fav guitars i own
I own one of these! To be honest I've never truly played it. I just loved the shape of it. My favorite body style is an explorer and this was sort of like a play on it so I snagged it when I saw it.
I own one of this guitars. I was looking for something else at a guitar shop in Argentina and they had this model hanging so I asked to play it. I didn't like the shape but as soon as I played that freatboard I had to buy it. It's so confortable! Thaks for this video! There's not much info about this guitar
Hi Ola, one thing I recommend you to do when you're conditioning your fretboard is to put painter's masking tape around the frets and use a bit of steel wool to clean them. They become really shiny and smooth, great for bendings. Just make sure you put something over the pickups or some of the bits of the steel wool will get on them. That guitar would really benefit from it.
If you have it meguire’s automotive mirror polish. Works great on acrylic and poly. For buffing by hand. Regular wax for guitar works but can build up on it.
I roll up a largish micro-fibre cloth and stuff it under the bridge to hold it up when doing adjustments. If I’m just changing strings, I do it 3 at a time. Bass first, then treble.
If Dime were still alive, he would still prove that he can be just as heavy as any 7 string or low tuning metal player all while using 6 strings. The man is a legend in his style.
I was just talking about these Culprits the other day. A local pawn shop had one long before I really understood what it was, but I absolutely loved it.
I think you should do a my guitar video on your Ibanez jpm p4. There's just something special about them compared the the newer musicman models. Very underrated. Cheers!
I'm 100% with you there, the Stealth is the nicest of all of the Dimebag shapes. Actually, I even honestly think that's it's one of the nicest pointy guitar designs ever. It's just perfectly proportioned.
I like to fold a terry polishing cloth on itself a few times to block my floyds. You can wiggle it all the way up by the posts and it makes it really easy to take off all the strings at once
Cool I remember seeing these back in the day, I agree the stealth and ml are way sexier! I'm also not really a fan of the razorback, but It's cool that Dime had ideas for new shapes kind of like BC Rich when they were creatively bringing out innovative designs. Very cool RIP D.L.A. Getcha Pull brother!!
Awesome to see a culprit out in the wild , don't see so many of them about these days . Would love to see some of your strictly 7 guitars if you still have them.
I’d love to see that signature strictly 7 8 string guitar featured on here especially since it was the first prototype of the Seymour Duncan 8 string pickup in that beast!
Long time No My Guitar video... WELL IT'S BACK BABY!
Hi ola
I didn't know you played guitar. Cool.
epic,
0:47 lol
Been waiting for your new upload video. That's definitely a cool guitar.
Hej Ola! Wow that brought back memories, I was given this exact model as my first endorsement back in 2002. Had 2 of these, but sold them later on. Did some Dream Evil / Firewind albums & tours w/ it up until 2004. Good to see u got one, being the massive Dimebag fan that you are. 👍🏻👍🏻
Gus.
Hey Gus G.! I didn’t realize that your comment where here before, awesome story, keep rocking dude! You’re amazing 🖤
From all your "little penis friends". We all love you Ola. 2020 has been a year for everyone yet you continue to deliver quaulty content. Love these in depth instrument videos!
"Not too much depth now!"
Ola buy a pack of playing cards and use them to hold your bridge up.
They won't scratch the finish and you can dictate the bridge location with the amount of cards used.
Cheap and easy.
Thanks 🤘🏻
I use old business cards from my last position. Same idea, but free.
Wine corks work amazing as well :)
can I use yu-gi-oh cards?
@@nacktheslayer9882 most likely if you have a bunch of spare ones.
I can't "deicide" which one is my fav serie: "My Guitar" (my nerdiness speaking) or "Sunday with Ola" (my sunday ritual with coffee).
Habitual ritual
Ritual de lo Habitual
@@ThrushCZX 🤘😀👍
why choose :D
Gay
8:18 the camera was like, "hold up Ola, lemme get this nasty ass fretboard up close for you"
The fact he doesn't cut out all of his mistakes just makes these videos so much better, just listening to everything he has to say is so entertaining.
I have to say, I actually like the shape of that guitar. It's the binding, finish and other visuals that wreck it for me.
I first saw Gus G playing this model in old Mystic Prophecy and Dream Evil live clips and thought it looked bloody awesome!
Same here man!
I can’t believe you have this. I remember staring at this in musicians friend catalogue.
I like the design, nice twist on a classic.
The Washburn logo that used the Misfit's lettering looked great.
"This is what happens Larry !" Ola, his Dudeness 👍
This is what happens when you find a stranger in the alps!
@@metfan4l I was trying to decide how to represent Walter’s line in a G-Rated manner and there it is
4:14 The real reason I started playing guitar
I like guitar show and tell, I got some old, sweet, American made Washburn’s in my collection, always loved their guitars
I always thought that, because of Dime's love for EVH, the culprit was a homage to the EVH Shark guitar
It really looks a lot like it, just with a couple of added curves. Although if you ask me the EVH shark was even uglier than this.
@@SteelSkin667 Culprit is a glorious instrument. Such a brute.
Same, definitely made me think in Eddie’s Shark
It's another generic star model, just like his main ML he used to play
Mondays with Ola, can't wait until Tuesdays with Ola
Oh damn, the guitar in your profile picture yours?
@@swiftuav3617 ya
It’s Tuesday with Ola here in Aus bro!!
🤘🏻🇦🇺🤘🏻
Its going to be nothing compared to Wednesdays with Ola
i always loved the culprit shape and im so glad theres more content about it on youtube now. thank u ola!
That rubber band trick has changed my life. Thanks Ola!
3m automotive rubbing compound. works fine by hand for small spot. Plastic is harder to remove scratch than clear coat / paint but it still does the job.
Oooof!!! That’s one of those guitars i always wanted when i saw dime play it
Those import Floyd Rose bridges, are a challenge.
I love the Culprit. Actually my favorite Dime guitar.
When I block the bridge on my Floyd's I use the back plate that covers the springs and just wrap a cloth of something around it. Works great.
Ola: "There has never been a handle on this [guitar] case."
Black Panther: "Get this man a handle!"
I always use the backplate from my guitar on my Floyd when changing strings. It won't scratch the body and the plastic is strong enough to hold the pressure.
used to work in a guitar shop for 4 years. i feel very nostalgic, especially because of the 9v battery licking part
you got a good deal, saw him play the culprit in 1998 in england.
It has the Vulgar Display of Power tone going on. I also got Obituary vibes when you first started playing it. Very cool.
I have been wanting this guitar for years. Nice!
FU tone has a thing called the "Trem Blocker" its padded on the bottom and works amazing for Floyd Rose trems!
Thanks for the vid man! They're always super entertaining and high quality.
Ahhh string change with a Big Lebowski reference! Love it!!!
I have that guitar! Mine was signed on the pick guard by Dime along with a batch of others at Musician’s Friend before I bought it.

Hola Ola,
According to Grady, the weird shape on the bottom of the culprit was supposed to look like a bottle opener 🤘
I love the Culprit.. one of the best body designs ever in my opinion
@4:10 thanks Ola, that's in my brain now. Forever.
My favorite shapes of dime guitars are that in the video and the "concrete", that reversed headstock it's so cool
I kinda like it, it's got this charm to it, like no other guitar
I've heard that a product called Simple Green is also good for cleaning-off all the dirt and spooge from off of a guitar fretboard, it plus an old toothbrush works wonders.
There's a few Dimebag signature edition guitars at my local guitar store, I drool at them every time.
Agreed, that is a beautiful fretboard
I had one of these a few years ago boy do I miss it dearly
«Karate Warrior» OST in the background. Love it.
That Dime tone is spot-on
I looked for that guitar for 8 years..finally found it in a little shop in Flat Rock Michigan with a broken off headstock.. Paid 300 for it.. I fixed it and cant tell it was ever broken...one of my fav guitars i own
I found that guitar at a little guitar shop in flat rock michigan with a broken headstock...fixed it.. plays awesome

There's a Dimebag signed red culprit hanging on the wall in my local guitar shop here in Canada - Weird!
If you have it meguire’s automotive mirror polish. Works great on acrylic and poly. For buffing by hand. Regular wax for guitar works but can build up on it.

Wow! That fretboard looked WAY better after you cleaned it!! The headstock actually looks pretty cool!
Thanks for making these. It's really interesting to listen to.

In Indiana, years ago
Thanks for the videos Ola, great as always ! You definitely should do a video with your JPM !
I think you should do a my guitar video on your Ibanez jpm p4. There's just something special about them compared the the newer musicman models. Very underrated. Cheers!
Always love hearing that six feet under riff !
The culprit is just an edgier take on a Charvel/Jackson Star or ESP Random Star

Remember seeing it in the Swedish Fuzz Magazine and thinking it was THE shit.
I love those. Gus G used to play one. 🤘
bring back this guitar in later videos! Dimebag guitars best guitars!
6:47 props for the Big Lebowski reference
I had one of these and loved it! It was sweet axe.

Awesome to see a culprit out in the wild , don't see so many of them about these days .
Would love to see some of your strictly 7 guitars if you still have them.
love the shape of that guitar
9 am drinking coffee and watching this guy. little things that makes life got more sense
Life better got more sense cause shit I'm fucking up
Please, keep doing this series!
I just found a Musicians Friend magazine from 1998 in an old office, and I saw this guitar in it. I never even knew about this guitar.
ola do the ibanez jpm p4! love that guitar, and just got a p3 myself :) dream come true, keep up the good work man! greetings from norway!
This was super relaxing, really cool video man! Awesome Brother sick tone
Look into a shred neck trem blocker for your Floyd’s. Get one of them and you’re set for any string changes. Got one for mine and it is great.
i love this type of video! keep 'em coming, ola!
your awesome Ola. thank you for always sharing. becoming an extra supporter soon amigo.blessings, have a great weekend
Beautiful guitar! Sounds Awesome!!!
I’d love to see that signature strictly 7 8 string guitar featured on here especially since it was the first prototype of the Seymour Duncan 8 string pickup in that beast!
Big bonus points for the big labowski reference.
I really like these "my guitar" episodes. 😎🤘🎸
