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

    Thumbs up

    Awesome, dude! Congrats. Looks kick ass!
    Reading Crazy From the Heat in four hours flat, in a cramped RV, on the return trip of a 3,000+ mile family outing to New Jersey is an enlightening experience you'll never forget.

    I thought these were set-neck jointed necks?

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

    That's the dumbest question.

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

    Yeah, you're right...I haven't familiarized myself with Dean's entire fucking line. Geez, you're an idiot.

    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...

    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.

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

    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...

    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!!!

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