Dime It The late great Dimebag Darrell is a serious metal guitar hero, and Dean's series of Dimebag models pays homage. Dimebag started playing Dean ML style guitars in the late '70s, and made it one of the most recognizable shapes today. Dean offers a wide variety of Dimebag models to choose from, all boasting Dimebag's distinctive look and tons of mojo and attitude.
Basswood Body The Dimeblade features a lightweight basswood body. Basswood is great for heavier rock and metal styles, delivering a nice even tone that feeds a dirt pedal (or a dimed Marshall) nicely.
Of course what's really striking about the body is the wicked custom finish. Dimebag and his signature are portrayed, along with his trademark razor necklace, over green lightning graphics.
Bolt-On Construction Bolt-on neck construction provides an affordable alternative to set-neck or thru-body designs. The advantage of this design is that if you do have any neck trouble down the line, you can easily replace it.
The DB's maple neck features an ultra-playable 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, with custom arrow inlays and a DB razor inlay at the 12th fret.
Dean Humbucker Pickups To capture the biting tones of vintage Deans, the company includes two of its standard humbuckers, which provide more than enough bite for modern styles, along with plenty of low-end and midrange definition. The standard three-way selector allows bridge, neck, or a combination. Each pickup gets a volume pot, and they share the tone control.
Grover Tuners If you play guitar then you know what this means--solid, dependable tuning from the industry standard. These tuning machines are a triumph in engineering and style, with a gear ratio of 14:1, perfect gear meshing, and zero backlash and slippage. The gear box has a special lubricant for lifetime, trouble-free service.
Tune-o-Matic Bridge The '79's Tune-o-Matic bridge with string-thru body design provides even more sustain, along with precise intonation for your tuning preference. The classic v-shaped plate mirrors the headstock wings for some nice vintage Dean style.DBD Traction Knobs Dimebag always rocked his "traction knobs," which he created by taking a soldering iron to them, for knobs that are grippable no matter how much sweat's pouring off you on stage. Dean faithfully recreates that here.

Wonderful price, Beautiful Guitar...
By ilovemijob
My son had asked for this exact guitar from one of our local guitar stores...The price was way more than I could spend for one Christmas gift. I started searching online and came across this one...almost half the price and its the exact same guitar. My son was blown away Christmas morning. We have listened to him play his old electric guitar for so long that when I heard the sounds from this guitar I thought it was on the radio. Very clean sound. My son hasn't had one complaint yet. The finish is gorgeous, the case is a large black rectangular semi-hard case...canvas outside, but sturdy shape with a soft suede-like liner inside. I will definitely order from them again.

By J. Nero
i bought this just about over a month ago and i am fairly pleased with it. It is a good sounding guitar with decent pickups (that you can always change if you dont like). this is my first guitar so the name (dean) didnt realy mean much to me, i was just more concerned about the quality. overall for the price, the quality is pretty good. there are somethings that i found are poorly made ie. when i replaced the strings i noticed that on the back of the guitar are the holes for the strings to be fed through and they had these little plastic cuplets in the holes to keep the strings from feeding through the wood on the guitar, well dean couldnt have just glued them in cause that would just be too easy so now when you change the strings you have to make sure that you dont loose them. other than that, not too many complaints on it yet. the guitar looks amazing and the volume and control knobs look really cool too. very nice case too. it is definitally a fun guitar to play and i am happy i purchased it..oh and also it IS a fingerprint magnet so you might want to purchase a cloth rag with the guitar.

Dean Razorback Dimebag Black with case
By Mike
Let me start by saying my guitar skills are not great. I have been learning a little by little for about 4 years. I have owned a First Act Electric (which I got on sale for $40), an Ibanez GAX 70 (sweet for $120), a Dean Vendetta (another sweet for $120), and now this....my first over $200 purchase for a guitar. I was a bit unsure about it based on reviews from this site. Go to Guitar Center if you want to read reviews that will change your mind like I did.WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW! What a difference!!! When I got mine in the beautiful black 'hardish soft' case (which is much nicer and tougher than I expected) I was blown away. It came delivered very well packaged and safe. This is truly a thing of beauty and a heavy metal axe worthy of the DIME printed on the headstock. Nearly in tune - about 2 minutes with my Snark SN-1 and it was perfect. I needed no adjustments to the bridge or truss rod...nearly perfect action for my style of playing. Finish was nearly perfect with the only blemish to the paint being in between the top jagged part and unseen by anybody but me. The headstock doesn't look like the close-up in the pictures. Look at the pic of the kid holding it and you will see it has the DIME Razorback logo underneath the Dean wings. It came strung with D'Addarios, which I will eventually change to Super Slinkies, but no need for that yet. Neck is straight, extremely smooth and silky. The frets may need a slight filing to be 'awesome', but they are still really nice and aren't sharp or anything to worry about. The neck pick up could be adjusted up a fuzz, but it still plays crunchy and mean. The dual Dean Humbuckers do a great job, and at this price (sub $300 delivered with a case) you will be hard pressed to find better pups in a harder rocking, cooler looking guitar. I know me and I will eventually replace at least one with a Dimebucker or a Seymour Invader to just sound 'freaking ungodly'!! It's safe to say I love this guitar and will be keeping it for a long time. I made the mistake of ordering a hardshell case (Coffin) for this because I am in Afghanistan and I was worried about it breaking. That was money I did not need to spend as the case it came with is plenty strong enough to handle the abuse of being in a war zone...it won't last forever, but don't waste your money like I did...Do yourself a favor - if you are a new or moderately experienced guitar player looking at this and thinking about buying it - just do it....you will be very very happy. If you are a semi-pro to professional player you probably wouldn't bother to look at a sub $300 guitar, but this one really shines for the money spent. I am as miserly as it comes with my cash, but this guitar has me playing more often and I love it. You simply cannot put it down, and when you are away from it, you think about it all the time....Oh yeah, did I mention that it looks epically freaking EVIL? Go now....press the button...you know you want to!!!!!!!PS- Buy it from Amazon shop or someone else, not G0-D#S ;)...they will stick you with outrageous shipping fees, the big A ships for free and price is only $3 to 4 more :) !
