Dean Guitars DBDF Dimebag Dime O Flame Graphics ML Electric Guitars

Mio figlio cercava questa specifica marca di chitarre e non sono molti i siti che le propongono ( così come i negozi), essendo particolari ed americane.La chitarra merita un 5 stelle, perché ha un ottimo prezzo ed è risultata rispondente alle aspettative, ma la spedizione è stata travagliatissima, essendo giunta la prima con il manico rotto a seguito degli urti in fase di viaggio, ma anche a causa di un imballo non degno di tale nome.Amazon è stata sollecita e corretta nel garantire un' adeguata assistenza post-vendita, provvedendo all'immediato riordino, re-invio e sostituzione, ma anche questo iter burocratico ha avuto qualche intoppo e, soprattutto, si sarebbe potuto evitare se fosse stata curata di più la spedizione a monte garantendo ad un oggetto fragile come una chitarra le protezioni corrette e dovute.Spero che la mia esperienza, tutto sommato conclusasi positivamente, possa essere d'aiuto per i futuri acquirenti, trovando Amazon, che è il venditore, più cauto e accurato nell'imballaggio.

If you are on the fence about this guitar I only have two words for ya...GET IT!! This thing is amazing! It is easy to play and the action is quick. Your fingers will be flying up and down the fretboard with reckless abandon. The pickups are aggressive but also sound really good on clean. They are also noiseless when the volume (on the guitar is turned all the way down). I got ZERO buzz from the guitar when the volume nobs were down. The pickups SCREAM harmonics. You can get pinches and artificial harmonics with ease. If you know how to get the Dime squeels you can pull them off easily with this guitar. It should be noted though, don't expect to just plug this thing in and sound like Dime did. Dime's tone came from his setup rig and tunings but this guitar is a BEAST and sounds best with HIGH gain. I run it through two distortion pedals (one with a noise gate) and an EQ pedal and it tears it up. The shape was a little daunting at first but after playing it I found it to be VERY comfortable. The shape and weight are VERY well balanced. It sits on your lap very well if you play sitting and the two back wings on the body make it handy for resting it on your leg and playing it upright (while standing). The locking trem keeps everything in tune. I have done SEVERE divebombs with it and it's STILL in tune a month later. The guitar is surprisingly versatile as well accomidating many different styles of play from metal, rock, blues, you name it. Many reviewers have blasted the paint job as being too "pixelated" and I would have to agree. If you look at the graphic up close (about 12" away) it is very pixelated as computer generated paint jobs tend to be however, I do not play a guitar for its paint job. I play a guitar for how it sounds and this thing sounds KILLER. I cannot say enough great things about this guitar, it totally CRUSHES! I got mine within 3 days of ordering it and it was packaged well and the intonation was pretty much set right out of the box. If you are even thinking about getting this guitar DO IT!! You will not be disappointed. R.I.P Dime. Getch ya pull!

I love this guitar!This is an amazing guitar! If you are a fan of Dimebag Darrel Than this guitar is a must buy. You will not be Disappointed. It sounds amazing and looks very nice. It is so comfortable to play and has nice low action with no fret buzz. The seymour Duncan Dimebucker sounds very heavy and is the ultimate pickup for metal. This guitar stays in tune very well with the Floyd rose special it comes with. This guitar has amazing sustain and is my favorite guitar in my collection.

Price dropped to $318 with free shipping on 12/12/2011, and for that price this guitar is a no-brainer. Pickups and tremolo alone are worth that--not to mention the mahogany body and neck. Already have an Dean ML Knight, and this one is noticeably lighter--maybe in part due to the different pickups (Knight has EMG 81/85's). Had to completely reset Floyd-stye tremolo, but was going to do that anyway as I wanted this one permanently tuned down to 'D'. Intonation and all that was way off out of the box... Others have noted pixellation, but I still can't see it and I got 20/20 vision. This guitar plays extremely well. The neck is wide and easily playable. The SH-13 is extremely hot and has more mids than EMG's (even with a heavily scooped EQ in the loop) and like reviews have noted, picks up harmonics way better. The neck pickup, which I traditionally don't like, rocks. I don't like this guitar as low as say my Explorer (think James Hetfield down-picking low), but it plays extremely well a little higher without looking like you're Tom Morello. Definitely a keeper. (And there is no case--but who needs another case!)

I got this guitar on a very good deal, I think - for a bit more than $300 I got a quality guitar, and with fetching looks on top of it. The features of the guitar are well known, so I am not going to repeat them here. The finish, while nowhere close to an airbrush type of finish, looks fine nonetheless - no one is going to look at this thing with a looking glass. The setup was ok. With its quality components, the comfortable shape and the 24.75 scale the guitar is fun to play, and sounds great, especially with its screaming Dimebucker bridge pickup. Not a guitar for the squeamish, as it gets a lot of attention. Beyond the optics, though, this is a solid, fun-to-play tool.
