Isn't it time you get your (headstock) wings?

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.

Mahogany Body
Dean uses a mahogany body for this beast (as with many of its guitars). Mahogany is a common choice for electrics, dependably delivering a warm, full tone with plenty of punch and sustain.

And of course there's the Cemetery Gates finish, sure to inspire some shredding.

Set Neck Construction
The Razorback Cemetery Gates features a set mahogany neck, which imparts all the well-known advantages of that style: a warmer overall tone with extended low-end response, wicked sustain, and easy upper-fret access. The 24-3/4-inch scale neck features a rosewood fingerboard with classic dot inlays.

Seymour Duncan Dimebucker Bridge Pickup
Seymour's SH-13 Dimebuckers were designed with the man himself to provide serious output and an aggressive tone. The Dimebucker uses a powerful ceramic magnet and stainless steel blades for serious crunch. The SH-13 boasts more treble bite than a lot of humbuckers, along with low-end punch and exceptional dynamics.

A Dean humbucker completes the package up in the neck position, each pickup getting its own volume conrol, along with a shared tone and three-way toggle.

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.

Licensed Floyd Rose Tremolo
The patented and often imitated double-locking design of the Floyd Rose tremolo allows you to lock your guitar in tune at the nut and at the bridge. Engineered like no other tremolo system, the Floyd's high-quality steel parts are manufactured to exacting specifications. Beat it up as much as you want--from traditional vibrato to dive bombing leads or flapping loose strings, and stay in tune while you do it.

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.

This is a huge guitar, lighter than I thought or hoped but very well balanced top to bottom. It stays in place which is important to me. I immediately changed the strings since on play on heavier gauge than most. The guitar was quick to hold tune and stayed pretty solid doing a few divebombs and pulls. I am VERY impressed with the tone, I use a Dimebucker in my other guitars so it was like playing an old friend with more bite.

Only reason I don't give this guitar a 5 star is because of the licensed floyd. The fine tuning knobs do not move very freely and are tough to turn. Since I got this on a special Amazon deal I don't care since I paid almost half price for it. If I would have paid $1000 bucks from a retailer I would not have been happy. If you buy this guitar, plan on changing over to am original floyd.

Overall, it's a nice instrument, the picture can not do the graphic on the top justice. There is a lot of detail.

This guitar is one of the greatest tributes to any guitar player out there, hands down. It plays great. It looks killer. It feels really comfortable playing it. To me, there's nothing to complain about really. I was playing to Seasons in the Abyss the other night and even with all the use of the whammy bar, it stays in tune real well. If you're looking for a decent metal axe to rock out to (and sound good while doing it) then look no further. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. Now back to playing =) Cheers.
