Congrats.
How's it play?

[jhale667]

Very cool, Matt! :baaa:

[Diamondjimi]

Kick ass dude!

Black Floyd with chrome saddles looks cool. Is the neck profile of the "V" shaped kind?

[jhale667]

Black Floyd with chrome saddles looks cool.

It does, actually - you should stick some stainless steel hardware on it and totally crack it out...:killer:

[Matt White]

Congrats.

Very fast neck Thrills...low action...the neck-thru body really makes the thing scream


Kick ass dude!

Yup DJimi...never had a guitar with that profile before...I dig it! And the neck isn't the baseball bat style either....which is So cool!

I hear you. I have a neck-thru Jackson . Same result.

[Cato]

:D
my Firebird doesn't....I can't believe it's a neck-thru guitar.

[VanHalenFan5150]

Awesome, dude! Congrats. Looks kick ass!

[Hardrock69]

Right on! Congrats for a killer axe! :D

[GAR]

Would've been a sweet axe without all that loser Dimebag gunk on it, but I understand that's the way it's built.. so...

Yeah, Garfuckle gives monkeys a bad name.

My understanding is that you're old enough to have been IN the Monkees, so..

Good for you Taeo!!!

Always happy when my friends get new axes. :)

I thought these were set-neck jointed necks?

Dean never made a neck-thru, that I know of.

Nope...neck thru...which is way cool

No problem with the cracks on Dimebag...I dig him...and you made your feeling clear aboot him when he passed

hey man looks cool. thats a rail pup in the back? very cool looknG

can u sit and play with it?

[ULTRAMAN VH]

Um, that is a cool looking guitar! You have excellent taste, kind sir!

[jhale667]

So..what kind of pickups are in it, and more to the point - are they staying in it? :D

[GAR]

That's the dumbest question.

If you have to ask, you're really not up on things -

[GAR]

I wouldn't swap the pickups, to answer the second part of that one..

[Diamondjimi]

I wouldn't swap the pickups, to answer the second part of that one..

On that one, or you mean. if you had a guitar?!

[jhale667]

That's the dumbest question.

If you have to ask, you're really not up on things -


Keep telling yourself that, fuckstick.
Yeah, you're right...I haven't familiarized myself with Dean's entire fucking line. Geez, you're an idiot. :fufu:


I wouldn't swap the pickups, to answer the second part of that one..

Nice...since I don't recall asking you...not being YOUR guitar and all...

[GAR]

Most of you know my disdain for Darrel, after meeting him.

I didn't like him, nor his band, nor his equipment. However way that he's become a social phenomena in guitar circles, it's kinda hard not to be somewhat familliar with his gear.

If you don't know what a stock Dean ML is or was, that's fine. But if you are unfamilliar with Dimebag Darrel's Dean ML, well that's just media ignorance.

[GAR]

Nice...since I don't recall asking you...not being YOUR guitar and all...

You rudely imply that pickup replacement was an option here, and I disagree. I think it's fine the way it is.

[Diamondjimi]

Most of you know my disdain for Darrel, after meeting him.



WTF? Dimebag didn't take a liking to you?!

Wow, that's a shocker! :Loser:

[Matt White]

So..what kind of pickups are in it, and more to the point - are they staying in it? :D

A Duncan 59' in the neck...a Duncan Dimebucker in the bridge....

couldn't be happier with 'em....the 59' has that great Les Paul vocal quality...& the Dimebucker just SCREAMS......harmonmics jumps off the sucker!!! LOL Haven't had a floating bridge in a while...I've been breaking out the pinch harmonics from hell like crazy...

[jhale667]

WTF? Dimebag didn't take a liking to you?!

Wow, that's a shocker! :Loser:

No kidding...:Loser:

[Matt White]

hey man looks cool. thats a rail pup in the back? very cool looknG

can u sit and play with it?

Yup BT...it actually is very comfortable playing it sitting down...though I did go out & get a new strap and installed strap-locks on it...

[Reverberator]

Cool Matt.

I like the inlay on the headstock , but not so sure about the one on the body... is that just a sticker?

Nice axe all the same.

[Sarge]

Congrats,
That is a great guitar!

[Matt White]

Cool Matt.

I like the inlay on the headstock , but not so sure about the one on the body... is that just a sticker?

Nice axe all the same.

The one on the body is in tribute to the KISS "Rock and Roll Over" sticker Darrell had on his ML....though they didn't include the POT LEAF sticker he also had on that guitar! HA!!!


Congrats,
That is a great guitar!

Thanks SARGE...something different for me...and I'm digging it like crazy...:rockin::killer::killer::rockin:

[Diamondjimi]

though I did go out & get a new starp and installed strap-locks on it...

Strap locks. I call 'em the best $20 you'll ever spend on a guitar.;)

[Matt White]

I've got 'em on the Wolfgang...I need to put 'em on ALL of the fiddles....LOL

[alexpgrimes]

I'm hoping to get a dean cadillac someday.

Hey Matt, measure the block on your trem...(hint, hint) ;)

[Panamark]

Nice Axe Matt ! (Its funny calling other dudes my babies name)

Two words. "Very Metal"

I bet it plays like a dream, my destroyer II has neck thru body
and its the best ! Congrats Mate :baaa:

:biggrin:

I actually used a bread clip to break into a green Arnage once..

[Panamark]

I used to use bread clips for picks if I couldnt find a pick ?
Not bad actually...
Or am I being Captain Obvious and everyone did this ?? :)

[GAR]

I was 13-14 and my little fuckhead friends would come over to the house.. next thing you know, picks' gone.

You probably know the pick I'm talking about: the pick that, because you're a 14 year old cunt with no money in your mom's purse but fucking food stamps, you stole that pick from somebody else.

Which is the reason somebody steals the thing from you. Hence, the bread-pick.

Well, they do work.. if you sit on the curb while the guys are out skating you can grind the nubs off on the concrete and sometimes make a decent one. But the shitty plastic would always break wouldn't it?

[Panamark]

The ones in Oz dont have those "nubs" on them.
They look the same as yours minus the nubs.
I think I played a pub gig with one and it lasted
the distance.... lol...

Prefer my Dunlops of course...

[hideyoursheep]

Niice!

Strap locks. I call 'em the best $20 you'll ever spend on a guitar.;)

I just put strap locks on the Bumble-stein...and the '68 reissue Strat...as well as the Dean ML

:D
