CFH DFH - I tried it out at Guitar Center, And it was awesome the Floyd withstood some abuse and the action was great. The finish was flawless. Over all it was a really great guitar, My only gripe is that the neck, at least in my mind, was way too thick. but it had a nice backshape. very sweet git, I would love to have one with a thinner neck.

79' ML - also played at Guitar Center, It was a a very kickass guitar, lighter than I thought, and it played great as well. The Braziliaburst finish was awesome, very well made guitar, My only Gripes for this guitar are once again the neck, in my opinion is way, way too thick. A thin c-shape would be perfect for me. As for my other gripe, Oh god they need to correct that frackin' crooked crotch . It bugged the hell out of me! Still a very nice guitar and I would love to own this guitar as well, (with some of my modifications of course)

BEWARE! Some of these guitars are not deans..

The other morning I woke up and had time to take a few pictures of my collection. You might see a few finger prints here and there. They were just quick pictures. I didn't really go out of my way to take them. So let me know what you guys think.

From left to right: DFH, 79 ML with EMG 81/85, Washburn 7 string (just for fun)
Bottom left to right: ESP LTD MH 250NT, Ibanez RG2EX1

So, I did a project for my Physical Science course, and I decided to take two string manufacturers (Fender and DR) and put them too the test to see which could take more pressure before snapping. I liked DRs before, but after this test, they beat the crap out of the Fenders. So, of all the string manufacturers out there, which would you rather use?

for the past 2 weeks i have been waiting for my bbv to come and now its just getting to me i cant take it no more.1 day is enough to wait.im a man on the edge.dont push me im gunna do it.

Hey just wanted to know if anyone could give me any advise.I am interested in a 1980 Cadillac (black 2pu) and wanted to know what you guys think of them.I am metal head with a ML and a Baby Z,But the more I see the Cadi I am falling in love with it.So if I could get some feedback and pic's would be much appreciated.

First of all --- Huge thanks to Steve at BRG! Steve is da man! In addition to being a great dealer, Steve also did a fantastic job of setting up the guitar.

I was fun trying to get the guitar....NOT! FEDex canceled delivery on Thursday because of the weather, yet I saw FEDex trucks all day. Then on Friday they didn't even bother to update thier system. I called FEDex on Friday and they couldn't even find the guitar.

But then it showed up on Sunday. Yeah, Sunday.

No pictures yet, but it's a GREAT guitar.

I think I'm going to blacken it out with some black hardware and BK black chrome pups.

hope everyone had a bitchin new years! i spent mine with mistress julia from fuse and Sinaria and a bunch of other kick ass bands ...Got quite some stories from the hotel party lol 'specially when 7 county sheriffs showed up on our floor



Rich

anybody here tried these new picks? are they junk or do they work






http://www.v-picks.com/index.html

Which pedal would you nice people reccomend me for a nice, long sustain?

ive been checking out a few guitars so i decided to check out whats coming up in musiciansfriend and after searching for a while this, http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Dean-ML79-wFloyd-Electric-Guitar?sku=512933 , guitar came up..
i was wondering if anyone on here could give me more specific specs on this guitar..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIzkUicwWto

this may sound like a stupid question but its something that ive been thinking about..

i know that the USA has a floyde, Dime sig rep. and the certificate but i was wondering what the difference is playing wise. i own the import DFH but it seems like the only thing i need to do is upgrade my floyde.
if i were to upgrade my floyde, would there be any difference with the "playing" of the guitar?

exactly one year ago today (and nearly to the hour!) i placed my order for a slime bumblebee razorback...was jolly excited i can tell you!
i was told "you'll have it by mid january"

and i foolishly believed em lol..

it only took until june 15th to arrive, and to get it that promptly required ordering from america

just wish i could get to play it more often....love that thing

This one is going soon

I saw this last night on an American Choppers commercial.

Anyone used these? I bought some to put in my 5150...opinions?

Yep, that's right, my custom is delayed again due to technical difficulties...they buffed through the finish...so my guitar I ordered in '04 is slated for an '07 delivery date. More to follow as I patiently await the axe that's already three years in the making.

I JUST ORDERD A ORANGE/RED ML, THE ONE THAT WAS GONNA BE THE TL-ML, JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH STEVE AT BLUE ROCK GUITARS AND IT'S A DONE DEAL. I EVAN HAD STEVE SLAP A XL 500 IN THERE FOR ME. WILL HAVE PORN AS SOON AS I GET IT!!
THANKS STEVE.......

Problem is my bass requires removal of the rear control cover to replace batteries for the elex. The manufacturer uses wood screws as opposed to pem inserts and machine screws. After five battery replacements the onset of stripping is evident.

Here she is without the rear cover attached.

[img]http://www.deanguitars.com/userpics/lib6/Czech Inserts 002.jpg[/img]

The lifting at the edges of the screw holes signals future stripping. So, using the following tooling and hardware:

[img]http://www.deanguitars.com/userpics/lib6/Czech Inserts 005.jpg[/img]

I installed the pems flush mount with the body in 1/8" holes .

[img] http://www.deanguitars.com/userpics/lib6/Czech Inserts 006.jpg[/img]

Pretty simple, I threaded in the inserts with my fingers and they are rock solid.

Anyway, I will bring this along to DOA if anyone wants to use it.

anyone notice that the spot that has Joan Jett (Bad Reputation) in it, has Mikey of Orange County Choppers holding a sweet TC Dean V in it??

it's painted like a USA Flag.. the blue field of stars over the neck pickup, and the stripes behind that..


very sweet..

Hey yeah.... What is the guy yelling at the begin of domination??? Ive slowed it down and everything and cant understand... He sayign something like BURT SINGS LIKE A MOTHERFU-CKER.... I know its not that, but thats all i hear.

Weren't you having difficulty finding roadcases a while back? I'm looking for some to take a few pointies in on my next deployment. Thanks, man.

okay, i need to know the name of the bar that holds the strings down that you sometimes find on the head of guitars. i have a guitar that needs one but is missing the piece and it needs to be replaced.
what's the name of it and does anyone know were i can find the piece?



heres a pic with the bar:

hey, i know its pretty stupid to ask this question but ive been searching some sites and ant seam to find a sight were i can buy some new lock on nuts for my DFH and id ussually take em off a guitar in guitar center but i need the whole thing wich ive seen for about $10.
can anyone on here send me a link for a little help? id appreciate it.

I'm in need of the best case available for my prized McNut. It pretty much carries the same overall dimensions as a Gibby LP.

I currently have a TKL case that it resides in but would like to "upgrade," if at all possible, to a better case.

Any opinions would be appreciated.... Thanks!

Is this Kerry King playing a Dean ML? Never knew he played those.

I stumbled across this while browsing the local Craigslist ads. Thought someone here might be interested.

Fair play to Trivium I say.

I have a Dean79 ml select and i love it to death, but, im a noob and was wondering what the 3 knobs are on the ml's. Could someone tell me which is which starting from the knob closest to the edge of the guitar. I know one is volume and probably the tone, but, other than that im new to it all, thank you for your help.

i have a question, you see i never really use a pick or plectrum.i basically use my fingers all the time and have gotten used to it,i can pick fine at high speeds with my fingers but not with a pick,so should i practice with a pick or just caryy on with my fingers???

Hello, i am in a band that just put up a myspace account, we are really kinda just starting, so all the music we have is recorded from the sound recorder feature on our computers. when i try to upload the music onto the account it says--you must have an mp3 file--
so all uploads must be in mp3 format. i was wondering how to make an mp3 file to upload it..... please help!!

ok..on my razorback, I changed my strings and whenever I tune back up my bridge is like being pulled way up...What should I do?

I want to buy an analog chorus.
Does anyone here have any experience with the Electro Harmonix Small Clone or Nano Clone?
How's EHX' build quality?

yo dudes and dudettes...

just curious if anyone knows of any "big" bands that have downloads available on thier websites that have been pro-recorded.

i know pearl jam does, and ive got a few of thiers, and metallica has some stuff from 2004 and 2006 on thier site.

anyone know of any other bands that might offer this?

He's incredible!

Too bad the sound quality isn't all that good,
but I enjoyed this clip nevertheless:

not a bad price, and weve seen them go for lower, but still not a bad deal at all!

I'm just coming back from a very cool little exhibition about vintage guitars (mostly fender and gibson) - so I thought I could show you some pron

1920-1930 Django Reinhardt guitars



some vintage 60's Gibsons - black beauty / SG / V




Gibson ES125 and ES150 from the 30's



James Trussart vintage metal plated guitar


a Stratocaster that belonged to Zappa and that was burnt onstage by Hendrix


a vintage 60's Tele


David Gilmour's Les Paul

Yesterday I purchased a brand new m108 10 bang equalizer from a very reputable company to find out that the stomp switch didn't work. I removed the back of the pedal and found the plastic casing enclosing the stomp switch had cracked right off inside the pedal. The only thing holding it from rattling around was the wiring. I couldn't replace it if I wanted to since it's wired together with whats looks like computer wires. You know the strip that has 4 or five molded together in a flat strip. I hope this in not a sign of quality from MXR. Has anyone else had similar experiences?

I'm just curious, is it a all possible to just make your own lefty guitar by switching around the strings? I'm a righty, but I'm just wondering.

Okay I was in this music store where they had a blow out sale of Allparts made bodies and necks which were seconds because of them having blemishes, dings or other tiny issues that made them less than perfect. I had my sights on what must have been the fanciest body in that pile.

It was a strat body with an S-S-H cavity rout in three tone sunburst with a curly maple top to die for and with front body binding. it looks killer, very similar to Stevie Ray Vaughan's Hamiltone custom strat.


And this is what I'm about to do with that killer looking body.

When I got home I installed a Kahler 500 series Killer bridge (and not a floyd rose as seen on the artist impression) and readied the guitar to take my favored Duncan pickups, if all goes as I want it to go then this guitar will be my main axe in the new band I'm starting.

I will keep you guys informed on the process as it devellops.

here's a very interesting video about how Gibson and Music Center managed to make the Crossroads 335 relics

it shows all the different stages of the guitar-building process

55 minutes - but highly interesting IMO

- http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4764707652331081865 -

Will a Dean V fit in a Gibson style V case?

Or any other non-ginormous case?

Has anyone used one of these before? I have a chance to buy one and it seems like a good deal.

I like HK as a rule and this model has a lot of cool stuff for a good price.

Went to the mailbox today and was jazzed to see that I had received my VOV CD from JA.This album kicks taint!!All of the songs are good,but my personal favorites upon my initial listen are "Terror Drome" and "Whammy Whacked".Nice to hear great music this early in the year.For those that are still waiting to get their CD's ,all I can say is that it is well worth the wait.I highly recommend that anyone who digs instrumental guitar music pick this up...

for some reason when i play guitar my hand get realy sweaty and i rust a pair of strings in a week and rust hardware ine a month has anybody else got this problame and how do ya deal with it.

Im kinda getting tired of going to the electrics section and seeing "See whats new!!!"" Deans for 2006


anyone know when its gonna be up and when we can expect to be able to buy any?

More V-Wing action!

My friend has a band that gig all over Ireland and they have some pretty cool stuff, so could you check them out and see what you think?

http://www.myspace.com/redriverirl

My friend is the lead singer / guitarist.

I just got an avatar 412 with all celestion vintage 30's at 8 ohms and I just bought a speaker cable to hook it up to my Line 6 75 watt combo amp. So I plug it in and now it sounds all weak and middy, nothing like what my combo amp sounded like alone. What is the reason for this? I thought maybe its because I have a lack of wattage, or is it because my combo amps direct out sounds like sh!t?

just got my black gold this guitar is sweet plays real nice also is a little fatter than my 79 series the pickups r being replaced with a duncan distortion mayhem set i love it!!

Hmmm, I've used a couple different brands of strings now and I now think that the type of string you use is one of the most important things to your tone.

I found that most ernie ball strings were twangy and had more presence than other strings. DR's (although I only got to use tite fite ones) seemed warmer and had a bit more sustain. GHS's are very bassy with less presence, they packed a punch, were very harmonically responsive, and had a pretty long life. They were ideal for droptuning.

Elixers had the longest life out of any of them (they actually died before they would break, months of usage), while they had no distinct tonal charecteristic. Overall its tough to choose just one. Anyone else want to share their experience with other brands of strings?

just got back a couple of hours ago.

We were the opening band. There were 6 bands and each one was a different genre so the crowd reaction wasn't GREAT but it was good.

Our set was 6 songs. All originals.

First show with my Dean Razorback. Amazing..






^The Les Paul still got some action!


hooray for whammy bar squeals

ONE VIDEO!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkN04Q8V1t0
one of our original songs, Derogation of Cerebration

not our best performance...we were the opening band and the crowd wasn't really into it, so we weren't really into it.

Defenitley. Everyone I know is 100% against country.. although ive never really understood why.. Those cowboys can sure make a fiddle play. Our good friend Darrell grew up with country and was influenced by it alot. So i thought it'd be cool if you people posted some awesome country songs with good guitar leads/solo etc. I know theres alot of people from the states here so you guys should know of a bunch.

Here's a shot of my little family that I just wanted to share. I just hope the link attaches without any problems.

I've been looking at all of these "limited run" guitars that forum members have put together. I have yet to see a limited run Z be suggested. I do not want to actually buy one (only because i just bought a dean) or be responsible for anything that will cost money , but more so give some Z fans something to suck on for a while. I'm not entirely sure what it takes to get dean to build a limited run guitar, so I'm hoping someone a little more responsible can take it from here.

Reply with the specs you would like to see.

Thanks,
that one guy

Anyone here know any good jam spaces or the band im in? Weve been looking for a while... If anyone lives around here and wants to let us rent out a room or something for that purpose that would be awesome... Thanks...

hey man i emailed about 3 or 4 times and still no response.
could you email me back and let me know about the footswitch??

thanks in advance

I've been thinking about starting a V project, got an idea in mind, but still considering which model to buy...gonna be a dean of course...but tossing around the various X model , select...etc.

any suggestions/opinions? this is my 1st major project, gonna strip it down completely and work from the ground up.

...tearing s#%t up on an 80 ML. Yeah, um...he kicks my ass...feel, technique, all that! Listen up, and don't let my talking ruin it!

GO WES!!!!!!!




BTW: That's an 80 ML w/X2N/stock Dimarzio Super D--->Randall RG75


Layla???????



gazongas!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well guys, i had been lusting for a razorback for a long long time, but a few things put me off. Having to upgrade the floyd arm and the neck pickup, it being made in china and the fact that its price is so high for what you're typically getting (i'm not saying its not an awesome guitar, but it should atleast have an original floyd.)
So for $1300 US all up... I got a complete shred machine
9 Piece Maple Neck (Neck Through)
Quilt maple top with nitro finish
Seymour Duncans
27 Frets! (haha)
Gold Original Floyd
Ash body
Ebony Fret Board

The brand is edwards. They are Japanese ESPs, made in the japanese esp factory, by the esp workers. Edwards are Japanese ESPs not intended for the American market. Check em out

Not getting the email alerts that a post has been responded to? And I am getting my PM alerts about 2 hours late!

The Vampire of Vaudeville is AWESOME!

Great job on this J.A.! It's one of the most diverse guitar albums I've heard in a long time. Lots of different feels on each track. And of course top notch playing galore!

i lost it!!

Does anyone make a good guitar stand????

I can't find one stand to suit my needs.

I have a couple of the small metal portable folding stands. These are great for traveling. They work well with my Caddy but won't work with a V or Z.

I have a few of the Ultimate Support Genesis stands. They were nice at first but thier starting to weaken. My Caddy flexes it really bad. My Z hangs funny from model without the bottom support.

I also have some old school metal tublar stands. They are ok, but they're too big and bulky to travel with.

Someone needs to make a good stand!

How to get parts from dean? who and how do i contact? theres a few accesories that im in need of.

Im starting threads just to see if we have enough interest in this guitar to get the idea pitched to tampa, Steve from BRG would be our dealer

here are the specs so far


Based off the 79 series (same elctronics etc as 79 series)
Silverburst Finish
Chrome or Black hardware
Chrome Pup Covers (if chrome hardware is chosen)
Block Inlays
3 Ply Body Binding w/ neck anf HS binding
This run will be cheaper than the ZDP Run b/c it is based off the 79 series not the black gold series,

Were looking to get a kickass affordable guitar here!

We need atleast 20 people before the idea is pitched to tampa
so who's all in?

Ok, i just got it today, and tried it out in a few way. Basically, this thing rocks! It's got 100% clean bypass, adds no distortion to the tone and is LOUD AS HELL!!! The pickup resonance switch doesn't do much for my tone (even though it's not meant to) but i'm telling ya, this thing can go up to 25 db and at the 7-8 db there's a huuuge diference in volume!

I'd just like to thank Lanning for reccomending it to me, seems i will no longer have to worry if the solo will be heard, now it's time to start worrying if the band's gonna be heard when i turn this sucker on! Peace!

Look familiar?

hey guys

I'd like to see some pictures of pro series hardtails since I haven't seen many around here - especially in natural/wood finishes (natural, walnut and rosewood)
that would be very nice

and I also wanted to know how they compared in terms of sound to the other pro series - are there any major differences ?

I wanted to start saving money for a pro series and I realized that I hadn't really looked for the HT pros yet

thanks

Just wanted to share this. I love my Marshall DSL 401 combo but wished it has 2 x 12's so.... I made my own Marshall 1 x 12 speaker cab. Every piece of hardware, covering, cloth etc is 100% Marshall from Mojo Suply the speaker is a Celestion Vintage 30. It came out perfect! I made it the same size as the combo amp so that the same type of amp cover can be used for both. And.... it sounds great!!

Finally paid my amp off at guitar lessons today and got to bring the monster home! A Randall RM100... This amp is strait up fuh king COOL! Right now I'm running the ULTRA, RECTO and BLACK FACE modules.

Ok. I hooked her all up to my cab, set all the knobs to 12 oclock (except the volumes ofcourse) and flipped on the power. The wait for the tubes to warm up was exruciating! Finally after about 40-50 seconds I turned off the stand by and hit an open E. Right off the bat I noticed a nice, warm, heavy tone. So then I went screwing around with the knobs...

ULTRA: This module rocks! Globs of super tight gain. I found a ryhtm chunk that I was in love with in seconds. This thing is the holy grail of that trademark "Randall tone." This module sounds so good by itself that I might have an EQ and an overdrive for sale. The only down fall is that it's pretty noisy. I just picked up a MXR smart gate though so I don't mind.

RECTO: I wasn't impressed. I'm not much of a Mesa guy in the first place, and this module didn't examplify them very well anyway. Not enough gain for me. I'll probably be trading this one for an ULTRA LEAD.

BLACKFACE: Probably my favorite! Its bright, yet warm and has an unbelievable "SPANK" to it. Once I got it set up right, it's one of the best clean tones I've ever heard. I'm totally satisfied with this one.

Overall I'm in love with this amp. I can't wait to get home from school tomorrow and crank the bitch up! Or to take it to band practice this weekend... Now... The porn!

Yea its pretty cool, has anyone else got in?

I just made one and now comes the hard part getting members to join and use the group, I know this isnt the first dean Group on myspace but you can never have to many people talking about Deans heres the URl http://groups.myspace.com/nothingbeatsaDEAN

Putting an OFR on my DFH, can anyone tell me were i can get a decent deal on an OFR? i plan on ordering it tonight.

That's me in 1965 standing with the Sear's Silvertone guitar and matching amp. Let's see you old photos!!

go check out the dean artist tab of the site. jesse dean of Narcotic Self is up. theyre a great band out of omaha.Probably the heaviest in nebraska.they got a pretty original sound about them.

check it!

UPS dropped her off early yesterday afternoon. It was all I could do to make it through the last couple of hours of work!










150W of EL-34 power... this puppy freakin' SCREAMS! I dialed in a few nice sounds right off the bat, but the tonal possibilities of this amp are endless. It's a snarling beast in the 50W mode. The 150W mode could blow the windows out of my house! It's incredible.

I'm going to have to take a lot more time with this amp before I post a more comprehensive review. There are so many combinations to try out. Just when I thought I was happy with my settings I flipped it over from diode to tube rectifiers, and was blown away! The 5U4 rectifiers give it such an organic sound that you can literally feel what your strings are doing. I'm very pleased with this head.

Psych .......

Hi all....

Yeah, I know I haven't been very active on the forum lately, but I am still checking in once in a while to check up on things...

Well, I just made a rough mix of some ideas I recorded over the last few days, and I would like to hear some oppinions...
So, as the topic says, let me have it...

The track is here

Just booked my flight to hell. Got great seats!

So my buddy has this Washburn here, and nobody here really knows what it is, or why the damn thing wont hold strings in the saddle...

I have a pic of it, if anybody knows what it is lemme know, I wanna know what it is...

And before you start shouting "Firewood!" it was a gift from his g/f, he didnt actually BUY the thing

I saw Deicide the other night, and it confirmed my suspicions that Ralph Santolla is quite incredible. So imagine my surprise when I happened upon this!:

Not only is he incredible - he's a lucky chap too - you'll see why.

Well, today was the day that I went Gretsch and got my Gold sparkle Jet home.



When I paid the guitar and asked for a package of D'Addario XL 011 strings, the guy behind the counter goes. "Are you sure, you probably need to re-adjust the neck when you put something that hefty on that guitar."

Four hours after I swapped the strings and the neck is holding up just fine, no adjusting needed whatsoever.

The way the guitar played and sounded GREATLY improved with those new strings, the 009 set it came with failed to get that wonderfull bell-like chime of the hollow body.

I plugged it into my Peavey Classic combo, dailed the reverb to roughly two o'clock used my trusty Boss overdrive for a little growl and my delay for some slapback. And it was instant riffing rockabilly licks. I am a metal guy but Brian Setzer is the guy who influenced me to play guitar and this little Gretsch enables me to get in touch with my inner rockabilly rocker.

bridge model dp# 220

Active humbuckers have a distinctive sound - powerful, clean, open-sounding, with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows. The down side for many players is that they also sound cold, have limited dynamics and run out of headroom when played hard. And of course, they need batteries. In 2006 we took a close look at the most popular active neck and bridge humbuckers to see if we could capture all of the good qualities and eliminate the disadvantages. The D Activator™ neck and bridge models are the result. They have the same loud yet clean sound as the active humbuckers players are familiar with, and killer harmonics. They also respond instantly to hard or light pick attack. In a word, they rock. And they don’t need batteries.
Recommended For: Bridge
Tech Talk: An interesting fact about the most popular active bridge pickups is that they aren’t incredibly loud. Instead, they have a strong, focused attack that hits the amp very hard and makes them ‘feel’ more powerful than they actually spec out to be. This is an important characteristic that we needed to capture with the D Activator™ bridge pickup. We also wanted to avoid the limiting effect that can occur with active pickups when they are played hard. Our pickup is passive with a lot of headroom, and it responds quickly and accurately to changes in pick attack. A hard pick attack doesn’t cause the signal to flatten out, and picking more softly or rolling the volume control down lets the sound clean up naturally.

Recommended For: Neck. Can also be used in bridge position
Tech Talk: There’s a big difference between a pickup that sounds bright and one that sounds thin. A thin-sounding pickup will be brittle on the highest frets and empty-sounding in the mids and lows. The D Activator™ neck model doesn’t do this – both the wound and plain strings remain tight and bright up the neck, and very well balanced. This allows the D Activator™ neck model to function well in both longer scale bolt-ons and shorter scale, set-neck guitars. It also makes for a good bridge pickup if you want a sound with a lot of snap and power.


so randy you can throw away those emgs and get yourself a really pickup

Anyone have an online supplier for replacement V Tailpieces?

So i've bought this amp around 6 years ago and never really gave it too much attention even though it has a beautiful clean sound. Lately I've heard that those babies are quite rare and prices for those are pretty high. Since no one i've talked to could tell me how much that amp would be worth, i've thought to try and give it a shot over here. It's a '74 silverface pro reverb with ORIGINAL marvel speakers so if anyone knows something about those, please reply! thanx!

Thinking of dipping into my pocket for a delay pedal, which my setup is lacking in.

What delay pedals have you used that stand out and seem good? I've spied the Digitech Digital Delay pedal on Jon's site which seems good on the face of it, but does anybody have any other recommendations that they'd chose over the DigiDelay?

Or do you have any experience of the DigiDelay? Any good?

Thanks.

didnt know that Batio played with Washys....

Our bass player just got one so I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with it to clear up few things for me?

...Phoenix...?

Does anyone know how to adjust one of these? I got it in a trade with Richisback and I cannot get the bridge parallel with the body. With floyds you can either take out a spring or screw the spring claw into the body. But this kahler style doesn't have springs. This trem is not a Kahler, but a kahler style. I cannot figure out how to adjust the height at all! HELP!!

Guitar One or Guitar World?

I am ready to get another subscription and I received offers from each for twelve bucks a year.
I've had a subscription to Guitar World before and was pleased with it, for the most part.

I'm not going to get both, so your input will be appreciated.

Why are set necks so much better than bolt on necks? I know you've all been asked this before, but just from what I see, although set necks seem more structurally sound, there's little difference. Does it affect the sound the guitar makes, or like, the feel of it or what?

This is video is great! might be a repost but...very funny! towards the end of the video during the solo Scott Ian is holding what appears to be a green and white ML. Video is called "metal by numbers" and it pokes fun at newer metal bands and metal in general.

THIS IS GREAT FOR DEAN GUITARS DESPITE HOW MUCH I DETEST THE MAN.

I just received my Dean Z noir XT yesterday from Funky Munky Music. Was going to put strap locks on it. The one by the neck the holder is screwed nto the guitar with one of the screws that hold the neck on? I bought a set of schuler strap locks. Will removing that screw to change it out hurt it? if so where do you sugest that i put it?


Will try to get porn for ya latter

Dennis

Well after 3 weeks of sitting in a repair shop she's finally mine again. Plays like a beaut with the setup, and sounds fierce too. Behold!




Yes, that is a giant Pantera poster above the guitar

Im putting a Dimarzio super distortion pickup on the neck of my DFH. I have a variety of different Sautering guns but this saulter WILL NOT MELT! i know its not the gun so is there something that i need that i dont know about?
i have practice tomorow and was hoping on giving the new pickup a shot so i need it done tonight.

USA Chafin Ember

Here are some shots.
I need some sunshine.

I really actually did get this axe... Thought id let you know...

So what do you guys think? Does a Dean Z signed guitar go up or down in value? or stay the same? and does it differ for a vintage guitar vs a new one?

Not to be a pain or sound like a whiner here.

But does anyone else think they could remove a few of those.

Man alive it is 2007 now, could there be a section they put SOME of these, like an archival section just to clear a few off the main page.

Have to scroll half way down the page to get to the regular threads. I would think 20 stickies/announcements is a tad overkill.

Just a question and a suggestion.

This thing has a lot of sentimental value for me, as it is the first thing I ever bought with cash that I earned myself. It as old as I am and I have wanted to restore it to the glory that it deserves for a long time now. I can't decide whether I want to refinish it in black (the finish has a LOT of dings, dents and stains) or if I want it natural (it's mahogany). I also can't decide if I want to floyd it or give it a fixed bridge (there's a Kahler flyer in there now). The only thing I AM sure of is that I want EMGs in it for some variety (I have dimarzios in my other axe). So yeah, any other ideas I'm welcome to no matter how whacky they sound. Inlay ideas, knob ideas, whatever! Help me out!

dunno if this has already been posted before, but i was watching a music channel today and robbie williams song "let me entertain you" came on. i was gonna change channel, but i realised that the guitar player was playing an ML shaped guitar. it was also been played by someone who looked like they were dressed up as dime. does anyone know if this guitar was a dean or not?

i'm gonna assume it was a washburn cos towards the end of the film clip they smash the guitar

Yes, folks, it's that time again! Recommend muckers some gear!

So I'm thinking of swapping out the stock Dean neck pickup in my Razorback for something a little more 'top end' than an off the shelf stock pup - I've heard good things about the Seymour Duncan 59 neck pickup as well as the Dimarzio Super 2.

But which is better? Or is there an even better, or perhaps cheaper too?, neck pup for my needs? I've never swapped out pickups before so I'm a little uneducated in this respect.

The kind of stuff I play is usually hard rock/metal stuff and I'd probably use both clean and distorted sounds with the neck.

The Dimarzio pup; the name super distortion kinda suggests a distortion-specific neck pickup. Would I get a good clean tone out of it as well?

Ta.

I also posted this in the "Off Topic" thread, but I thought I would here too. Silvertung's first album is now available for download on Itunes. Here is the link http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playListId=86712148 So if you wanted the whole album, or just a favorite track you can get it now without the wait. Thanks for all the support. Just to keep some Dean Content on here, here is a photo.

Anyone interested in a DFH/CFH import dean in excellent condition???....check out the Forum Trading Post for more details.

Say 8pm eastern???

I've noticed a small, almost perfectly circular, chip in my Explosion Razorbacks bottom most bridge fin on the underside of the fin.

It's right down to the wood (ie. all the pain on that small circle) is gone. It's not very big (about .2 of an inch at biggest - I'll try and get a pic) but because it's down to the wood, it does stand out in colour.

Obviously I need to paint it to rectify it but is there a certain kind of paint that I need to get that would be best? Any tips/methods?

Woo, I'm really exhausting this forum for help, huh?

Been seeing a commercial on TLC for a premier of American Chopper's new video with Joan Jett doing Bad Reputation. Mikey has an American flag V in the commercial. Premier is at 9pm eastern.

Theyre have probably been millions of posts about these pickups but I was just looking for some of your opinions of them... Specifically are the Mighty Mite Hot Rails good? Also the MotherBucker... If they are im probably going to look into them due to the cheap prices.

Anyone know a cheaper reliable knock-off of the Tube Screamer pedal?

Tiki time

I have a Gibson Explorer that needs refinishing. Nothing fancy, I just want it in the original color (black) without all the scratches and dings and stains. I remember hearing about someone on here that did really good jobs at stuff like this. I think his name was jeepster? Jeepman? Something like that.

If it's possible I wouldn't mind a tiger eye finish either. Anyway I just wanted to gauge a price, and if anyone on here actually does that sort of thing and how it works out. Or if anyone knows a place in Toronto that could do it for cheap (Twelfth Fret is asking $1,400, I know I can get it done cheaper than that).

i bought a whammy bar for my dime o flame and it looks exactly like this.


how do i get it to fit in the screw in hole on my dime o flame?

But my band finally got a song recorded and up on the myspace page...its pretty rough and sketchy but it gives an idea of what were goin for.

If your gonna bash that fact that theres a few off notes or it feels sloppy, we already know this, we just wanted to get SOMETHING up, so tell us what you think of the music.

Whoever won these SCORED!! Oh well. Could be worse I guess.

Just bought this at a local pawn shop today for $35.00, not sure
what brand it is but the body is light and I think it will make a good
Strat project. I have a pearl pick guard and a friend has a set of
Fender pickups that he is giving me, all I need is a neck and the
controlls and I will have a sweet looking axe.

found this on the ZW board, thought you guys would salivate a bit. looks bastardised, so i'm sure it's not the upsoming Carlino surprise.

PainmuseuM ?

All Fender except the body (an old Johnson Strat body). The guard is chrome metal and the knobs are aluminum.

So I win an auction for a Randall XLT cab brand new (354 bucks ) on the 26th of Dec....I look again and see there is no update on the webpage so I call them up again and the guy says, "Uhhh-you should file a claim because we have no more info on that." I knew it was too good of a deal to come through

To those going to NAMM -

If you pass by the Engl booth, say 'Hello' to my bandmate Chris Broderick. He'll be playing there.

Check out some of these guys spinning around and flailing their arms around like dead fish. Some of the funniest shyte i've ever seen

UPDATE!

So the TCV I was convinced I was getting screwed on arrived today...

The seller had shipped it 2 days ago, after my Ebay and Paypal scare tactics had started. Also, it arrived in its hardshell case, in a Dean box... with 3 plastic bags as "padding" ... The box was too big for the case too, you could hear it rattling around in there.

I checked my email to find a tracking number delivered to me via my Paypal dispute, and an email from him saying "Hi I saw you got the guitar could you please close the dispute now, thanks, Josh."

That's it. What a frippin icehole.

Anyways, I'll get pictures later and see if I can get over the horrid purchase process I went through and just enjoy it. Truth be told I had been starting to look forward to getting my money back.

Thanks for all the advice folks.

Ok so I'm looking for kinda the next thing for my crappy rig and I was thinking I'd maybe invest in a wah for solo's and stuff. I've been thinking of going for the Dimebag CFH wah (not because of Dime related reasons, because I've heard it's the most versatile wah). It's kind of expensive though at about €169 + postage so what do you guys think I should do?

Now that we've had a bit of time to think about the aproximate 40 new models from Dean... What do you think there will be? I've been in discussion with several people.

Things that have been thrown in the air...

Import Soltero (What I'm REALLY hoping for)
Import Razor V
Mustaine V
Then, 36 new Dime Models and a new ML finish

If I wanted a versatile amp to play anything from blues to Pantera, what should I get? Power amp with my GNX3? or combo? I'm planning to sell all my older amps, and get one I can use for anything.

I might have to check this out when they become available...


http://namm.harmony-central.com/WNAMM07/Content/MXR/PR/M-115.html

So I got this guitar class that started up at school, and its become necessary to find a case for my BGML that isnt a hard case so I can haul it back and forth from school.

Can anybody recommend me a good gig bag or something similar so that I can keep this thing semi protected but not haul around some big frippin box all day?

VINNIE PAUL: HELLYEAH CD Is Best Record I've Collaborated On Since PANTERA's 'Vulgar Display' - Jan. 16, 2007

HELLYEAH, the new band featuring former PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott alongside members of MUDVAYNE and NOTHINGFACE, will release its self-titled debut album on April 10 via Epic Records.

The quintet includes three of hard rock's most revered and valuable players, with careers highlighted by an astonishing run of chart-topping gold and platinum albums, major industry awards, critical acclaim, Grammy nominations and music of monolithic power.

"Tom [Maxwell, NOTHINGFACE; guitar], Jerry [Montano, DANZIG, NOTHINGFACE; bass] and I have been talking about working together ever since we staggered through the streets of New Orleans five years ago," says MUDVAYNE/HELLYEAH vocalist Chad "Helvis" Gray. "I mentioned it to Greg [Tribbett, MUDVAYNE; guitar] and he immediately wanted in, and when Vinnie came on board the whole thing just took on a life of its own. This was a must-do project for all of us."

"The guys from HELLYEAH and the incredible music we've created have brought me back to what I love," states Vinnie. "'HellYeah' is the best record I've collaborated on since [PANTERA's] 'Vulgar Display of Power'. The vibe is ‘positive with a kick-your-ass-attitude.' I can't wait to take this band on tour."

Gray and Tribbett will tour in support of the HELLYEAH debut in between recording the new MUDVAYNE album. The follow-up to 2004's blockbuster release, "Lost And Found", which debuted at No. 2 on Billboard's Top 200, is due this fall and finds the Grammy-nominated quartet working once again with producer Dave Fortman (EVANESCENCE, SUPERJOINT RITUAL).

"It's cool to have both MUDVAYNE and HELLYEAH as creative outlets now, even though the approach, subject matter, and attitudes between the two projects are completely different," says Gray. "I'm looking forward to balancing both bands in my life — my new extremely busy life."

A nine-minute video of HELLYEAH writing and recording its self-titled album in Dallas, Texas has been posted online at YouTube.com. Two songs from the CD — "Hellyeah" and "Matter of Time" — are available for listening on the band's MySpace page.

On Wednesday, I'm ordering new studs, inserts, riser wheels and a routing template to put a Kahler on my 79' ML. Got a couple of questions though.

How should I go about taking out the metal where the strings run through the body???

Also... I can use the inserts from the current bridge to hold the riser wheels correct?

Any input from people who have done this would be appriciated!

Here goes! I've been waiting for a while to get decent pics of these, and they look pretty great. The pawn shop bass I picked up for 100 bucks in high school... Actually plays and sounds good, needs new pots though.

Czech Evo Premium (in what I believe is the "Root beer" finish?) with PRS Dragon pickups


Fender Aerodyne Classic Strat in trans-amber with Texas Special pickups


And lastly, no name freaky bass (kent pickups, no idea the brand, guessing something italian from the 60s or 70s)


And one from the back cuz it's got a really nice maple back for some reason...



That's all I've got for now, I have my blacked out Geddy Lee bass in the studio we rehearse in, I'll get a pic of it on friday and throw it up in the bass section. Hope you enjoyed!

An exact replica of his famed Frankenstrat! I'm an EVH die hard fan and think the idea is cool as hell... if it wasn't for the price tag

In there latest issue, Guitar World featured a great story about EVH hooking-up with Fender. It will be branded as EVH Products which is like the other non-Fender brands such as Guild, Gretsch, Jackson, Charvel, etc.

This is the best part of it.... only $25K of your hard earned scratch will get you one of only 300!

I've seen comments from some people that have ordered them, but does anyone on here actually own a Soltero. Looking to hear a review from someone thats played one for a while.

A while back someone posted pics of his washburn 'slime, he'd sanded down and clearcoated.

What model was the guitar? a usa or korean?

Ozzy Osbourne has told Dan Epstein of Revolver magazine (web site) that he has finally found the perfect setting for making records: the newly soundproofed guest house behind his Beverly Hills mansion, which he's outfitted with a mixing desk and a ProTools rig.

"When I made records before, I'd have to get up, get in a cab or car, go to the studio, and wait for everyone to turn up," Osbourne explained. "If you're already inspired before you leave for the studio, you're @#%$@!!& by the time you get there! But now I have the luxury of working in my own home. I can play the music on my own sound system, and I can lie down in my room and watch my flat-screen TV whenever I like."

Unlike 2001's slickly produced "Down to Earth", the last album of original Ozzy material, the new disc promises to be a rawer and heavier affair. Recorded with the same band that backed Osbourne on his scattered 2006 Ozzfest dates — Zakk Wylde on guitar, Mike Bordin on drums, and former ROB ZOMBIE bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson — the album has no official producer, although longtime Mutt Lange protégé Kevin Churko is serving as the engineer.

"Kevin's working the machines and helping me with the songwriting," said Osbourne. "He really knows what he's doing with the ProTools, which is good because I can't work the frippin thing. I can barely work a light switch!"

"We just went in and jammed out the riffs, just like how they made 'Back in Black' and all the SABBATH record," said Wylde. "I don't need Bob Rock there to tell me what to do, like that 'Vagina Monologues' band METALLICA. When you know where you're going, you don't need to ask for frippin directions! It sounds like classic Ozzy — there's piano ballads, there's an acoustic thing, and then there's the heavy s#%t. From the beginning, Oz kept saying to me, 'Zakk, we need another 'No More Tears' — we've gotta piss all over that frackin' record. This thing's gotta be able to hang with 'Diary of a Madman'!'"

"I always try to make a great album," says Osbourne. "It's not like I go in there and go, 'You know what? I've had a great run — I'm gonna do a piece of s#%t for my next album!' But to be perfectly truthful to you, 'Down to Earth' was just a filler album to me. It did well, and some people liked it, and I loved the ballad on it ['Dreamer']. But this album I put in the same league as 'No More Tears', 'Blizzard of Ozz', and 'Diary'. It's definitely my influence of SABBATH coming out, here and there. But then again, I would have liked to see SABBATH put out an album like this at this stage of the game."

So, my birthday's coming up, so I figured I'd treat myself! I was gonna go for a Dean, but along with me being able to get a 'cheap' Dean when I visit the states in 2 months, and the general rareness of these guitars (in my experience, in this half of the pond) I figured I'd go for this.

Plus I've got a REALLY soft spot for roundies!







Sustainer sounds real nice, and the SD JB in the bridge is FAT. I mean, REALLY FAT. Play's real nice, and definitely stands up to my LTD, I think I may even prefer it.

Will we see the new guitars Thursday or Friday?????

I know that the special announcement is Friday, but NAMM starts on Thursday.

When will we see all the new models?????

Alright so I got this old Gibson Explorer that I'm going to be refinishing, and I decided I wanted to do this in the classic Gibson style. Right now it has a Kahler tremolo and I want to put a tune o matic and stop bar on there. Now... my only idea at the moment is getting a block of mahogany and gluing it right in there. HOWEVER, would this be able to handle the stress from the bridge? I'm open to any other ideas as well.

here i am in dire need of a half stack and i'm trying to talk somebody into selling me their 81ML. (i can't afford to get both)

OH GOD DOES THAT SAY DIMESLIME?????

Favorite new Deans???

For me it's -

Korina V/Z/ML
30th Anniversary
Import Soltero

this is indeed good news for my broke A$$ ...i just hope it has a v neck profile!!!! that would be a deal killer for me if it has a hardtail standard neck profile..

So what's the difference between the Razorback V and Razorback STD? They're both imports right?

I'd just like to say thanks to all the good people down at Dean for making some of our dreams come true.

You've done an amazing job, and have not failed to deliver with the new guitars, and i can't wait to get my hands on the Soltero SL when it hits the shores of England!

Thanks guys!!

DEAN TO MAKE T SHIRTS W/ THE 30TH ANNIVERSARY LOGO!!!

Yes? No? Support?

The Dime redwood? Beuler? Beuler?

You know, that one behind the class case that everyone thought looked amazing?

http://www.deanguitars.com/dean_winter_07/dime_ml_redwood.htm

Can't find the old pics offhand, but I THOUROUGHLY look forward to see production models or even good shots of a proto.

is it just me or is the splittail a lot uglier then the muddy bullsye? i wouldnt even want to get one if it was an import. it just looks deformed. the muddy bullsye just looks a lot better.

I have spoken to you ALL and was assured that this guitar was going to be made and introduced at winter NAMM...

***NEW FOR 2007***
THE BUSH BLADE!!!



You all assured, nay, SWORE that this guitar was a done deal. I took you for your word and even put it in my sig. line.

I hear that not all the guitars have been unveiled yet so I hope, for all of your sakes, that this one is unveiled tommorow.






*Disclaimer*
Relax, I'm kidding

I like that concept very much so I would like to know if they'll be much more expensive than the pro series or not ...

what dyou guys think about it anyway ?

check this out its odd looking

http://www.bcrich.com/draco.html

does anyone have a guess of what theyll cost???

ESP have a new variation going on with their Explorer type axe




And they've come out with a new, boring looking Cort-looking, Peavey Jack Daniels kinda roundie




And, of course, they now have a non-Mustaine V




And how about Willie Adler's new signature model. Check out that inlay, it's badass!




For BC Rich, I'm pretty sure the Warbeast is new. Needless to say, I'd hit it...




And I'm sure this is new, too, called the Dagger, it's a semi-hollow, BC Rich Virgin looking type thing.




And now for Ibanez. They've started stealing guitar shapes... Ibanez XPT700... AKA Jackson Warrior. I can't believe they've done that.




And they now make a (boring looking) Flying V, VBT700




And, a slight plus side, The new (I think) Iceman





Add your own, guys

With so many asking for a razorback without a floyd,i wonder why the only one ive seen is a bolt on neck?? I was really hoping to see dean do the razorback minus the floyd but really would rather have a set neck,not bolt on

If I were to order one, it would be transbrazilia w/ binding. Large headstock w/ transbrazilia matching finish like a Select. Abalone inlaid logo and all black hardware

NOTE I would add abalone gothic crosses for fret position markers LOL on an ebony fingerboard if I hade one made

Have they ever made an Import model like that?

i dont know if you guys have seen this yet, but i havent...

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Dean-Dimebag-Razor-Yellow-Devil-Electric-Guitar?sku=512930

At NAMM but not on the Dean Website?

I looked on the page and I don't see any...

Did I miss something?

Just wondering if phil will bring it back or is kevin bond gonna have to get an application from McDonalds?

I love all the new guitars Dean has released, don't get me the least bit wrong, but i am disappointed that i have not seen a single new left handed available guitar...
As the majority of everyone here (or just in general), play right handed, there ARE still left handed guitar players! So i HOPE some of you can see things from my point of view. I don't even know that any other lefty players come to the forum anymore. I use to remember "Southpaw Shredder", but haven't seen him in some time. Always seeing new guitars, limited runs, etc, and only being able to LOOK and DREAM. Its a real bummer. Maybe I'm just venting, but i feel it somewhat that the lack of any new lefties just plain sucks...

BUT!

is there any hope of more new Deans being posted tomorrow too? Then maybe i can eat my words.

It's now 2:00 AM and I am so pumped I can't sleep. Okay, I took a 2 hour nap earlier in my easy chair, so that my have something to do with it. Anyway, I spoke with Dean tonight and he said the Dean Booth is the place to be at this year's show. We arrive at the convention center at around noon, so we will be just in time for the live webcast. Dean asked me to "floor produce" and I have a feeling I may be able to get some airtime myself. If so, I plan to flip all of you off!

I can't wait to see the new models. There was a time when I knew everything that was going on and what was going to be introduced. Not so anymore! Since I first became involved with Dean Guitars nearly 7 years ago, the company has grown several times over. I plan to take about a million pictures and I will also have several video segments for my NAMM coverage. This will be my 5th Winter NAMM show and promises to be the best yet! See you on the webcast!

Brave Dave

anyone have a myspace account hit me up it myspace.com/bullofcolumbianaohio thanks and i hope to hear from ya at dean land!!

Anyone know how you would log into the webcast today?
Is there something to click on?
Any help , appreciated.

D.S.

OK, we are cooking with GAS now....

Enjoy!

And Ruins it...

I noticed the dixie rebel is on the guitar page with all the non usa's....mmm

Hey I just wanted to send a big thanks to everyone at Dean. I'm a huge Dean fan and always will be but these past couple days have been awesome. The buzz around NAMM, the excitement about the big announcement, all the new sick ass guitars. Great job Elliott and Dean Z. I see big things coming for Dean guitars and I'm happy to be a part of it!!

So at noon is the webcast just going to load on the homepage or what?

WHOOOOOHOO

OK, here's the deal.

I bought a FBD from Nitro Tone...no problems.
Paid over paypal...no problems.
Got my tracking number and checked the website daily...no problems.
The website says my guitar reached the UK...PROBLEM!

Apparently they tried to deliver my guitar on the 18th Jan 2007 when BOTH my parents were in. They didn't come any where near my house and therefore couldn't leave an attempted slip with a number to call or anything. So I've left it another day, arranged with a neighbour to sign for the guitar if it was to arrive and again...nothing. Although this time nothing has been listed on the website. What am I to do...

Thanks for any help

i just had to pick my jaw up off the ground

SO slick



oh... she just called the rebel razor the autin powers guitar

I know Dean still has the "Big Announcement", but are there still more guitars to be released??

Can anyone tell me what the price for this guitar was? I think he said $1,100 but I forget already

Which do you prefer?

I am an EMG guy myself and with the new Dean models now having EMG's I am excited!

Says Dave Mustaine about his new Dean V.

was that THE most anti-climactic announcement or what?

i mean he justkinda sauntered out... no big deal... it was weird

any chance the Webcast may be repeated, or perhaps can be replayed via the Dean site? I was not able to access while it was live.

D.S.

WHATS WITH THE HEADSTOCK? THIS GUITAR WOULD HAVE BEEN AMAZING WITH THE V HEADSTOCK BUT OH WELL. IT STILL A NICE GUITAR.

ON A SIDE NOT. LOOKS JUST LIKE THE V I DESIGNED A COUPLE YEARS BACK IN A SERIES CALLED THE WICKED SERIES. HAD A V LIKE THIS BUT MINE HAD THE KEWL DEAN V HEADSTOCK.

hi guys,anyone had any experience with this amp or own it.any feedback would be great as i have found sumone selling it at a low price.its all tube it will be my first tube amp if i get it.i was goin to get a randall rg75 for about 300£ or more but have found the 50tc for 200£.any comments would be appreciated

ALSO I GOT MY DEAN 79BB TODAY .I WILL DO A POST TOMORROW WITH PRON THIS GUITAR IS THE OWNES

Thanks Dean Z and everyone that worked so hard to bring NAMM to us! I've got to figure out some way to get there next time, that looks like too much fun!

How are the necks on the 79MLF's? All the dealers in my area stopped selling deans, and the only deans I have are acoustics, so I have nothing to compare to. Help please.
-John

Matt is NOT releasing a Razorback.Here is a clue that Paolo(Trivium's bass player gave)
"I know Matt and Dean are designing a new guitar, don't know when Dean will do it though. They did make the new Mustaine Dean pretty fast. "

It is a HINT(just a hint) that maby they will do something original with an ML or whatever.Put the Matt Heafy signature talk to rest for a while.

Oh yeah,it's HAY-FEE no HEE-FEE if you did not know.

Is this a new color option or is it the Bumble bee slime?

ok i almost never bitch here but i gotta say somthing bout this!!I just saw the new dave mustaine vs why the hell is dean making jackson shaped guitars?and whats with those ugly headstocks??they look like a cross between a esp and a westone shape yuck!!can u imagine how cool those vs would be with big v headstocks??and worse yet is the smashed dean logo??im not impressed i expected more from dean and dave!!well i guess he has to play it glad i dont!! yo dave get a bad ass razorback they r bomb looking!!

Hey Deaners,

Does anyone know where in the USA the first run of Time Capsules were made. For instance my '01 Time Capsule Z.

Thanks!

Jimmy's lame,but Slayer should be good...

i just got my black gold v a couple of weeks ago stocked it with duncans and i was so impressed with it i bought me a matching ml man these black gold series guitars r very comparable to usa deans wich i have owned a few of.they r a step above the 79 series for a mear hundred bucks more!!if u havent checked out the black gold series u should these guitars r worth the money i spent!!the guys at funky munky gave me a great deal thanks a million john!!

Nobody seemed to notice the last post I made on there, and then of course it was kicked from all the NAMM threads but now that that's over here it goes again.

So basically, the buddy that's helpin me out is gonna be cutting a block of mahogany slightly larger than the actual cavity itself, freezing it, sticking it in there with epoxy and then letting it expand. Then we sand it down level with the rest of the body. Does this sound like a good idea? I really don't want there to be any trace of the Kahler trem.

I also remember hearing something about a cap. Can someone shed some more light on this? Like how I could do it and what material to use?

I'm suprised nobody's mentioned this yet now that everyone knows mustaine signed with dean. Now we're pretty much ensured to see a dean axxion sometime within the next year or so. Oh god ..........bleh...I think I just threw up alittle............
Ohh The anti-grox of it all!

Not my thing really, but certainly unique

here's a pic I just photoshoped today with some pics I had on my PC



post some Dean artworks if you've made some too guys !

EDIT: for new pic with dave's sig ---

adding quite alot of noise when in my signal chain when im not using it. I'm pretty sure that its not the cables as they are good quality cables, and when its just Guitar into amp, its a pretty quiet signal, but put the wah in it, and it gets hairy.

I'm getting a noise gate anyways, but i just wanted to know if anyone else has has this problem . It is a basic Jim Dunlop Cry Baby GCB-95, does anyone know anything that i can do besides the noise gate to get the thing to STFU?

Thanks guys!

Playin the new sig amp !!

Edit...Heres a pic.......5150 III

Do any of you guys own one of the reissue whammy pedals? If so how do you like it and is it worth the high price tag?

I have a chance to buy an RG100es xp series head but I currently own an rg100sc. Which amp is a better amp? I haven't tried the head yet but I'm wondering if it's worth trading my combo for the head and buying a cabinet for the head. Is there a considerable differnce in sound? I can try the amp but it's 2 and a half hours away so I'm wondering if it worth the trip at all. Thanks.

OK NO MORE TALK OF DAVE MUSTARDSTAINE.

JUST SAW A LITTLE INTERVIEW OF RICK ON THE WEBCAST. WHAT A CLASS ACT HE WAS. VERY PROFESSIONAL. NO HUGE ROCKSTAR EGO. VERY DOWN TO EARTH AND HAD ALL THE RIGHT ANSWERS TO THE QUESTION WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE HE WAS JUST SAYING WHAT HE WAS SUPPOSE TO SAY. GLAD TO SEE HIM BACK WITH DEAN GUITARS. WAS VERY KEWL.

I'm in the market, as it were...

Been using the free powertab program for some time and it's cool and all, but there's a few features I'd like to see (like being able to turn off the other guitars from showing up on the page).
Well it looks like GP5 lets me do that, and lots of other nice stuff too.

So anybody use it? would you say it's worth $60?
Is the RSE available on anything you put in there, or only on tabs that have been specially written for it (Demo only does midi, which, lets face it.. sucks)?

What else is out there?
I used Guitarport off and on since it came out, and that's nice. I like that you've got actual recorded tracks and not synthesized, but there's not the same level of control, and subscription models are annoying (Can't use the songs you download if you're not an active subscriber).

i seriously only live like a mile away in orange.....

just wanna grab a couple of those dime posters to get framed for my living room and say hi to everyone =D

I figure, can't hurt to ask right?

Dean guitars and MEGADETH.

Took Mustaine long enough....

I like the inlay, color, even can deal with the headstock......besides that - who ever had the saw should have stopped while they were ahead.

HASSAN CHOP!

I keep reading all over the internet, not just here, about how everyone hates the "new" headstock. People keep asking why Dean came up with it for Dave. This "new" misconception needs to be cleared up. The headstock is NOT new. It's been around for 14 years. Here's proof:

From a 1993/94 Tropical era catalog(German version). These guitars were made in Korea by Sammick

This is put on where I live and is a blast. Just thought I would give a headsup just in case anyone is interested...besides it's a kick ass place to come and visit. Not sure when my band is playing yet but I might be able to persuade the organizer for an evening of metal if nayone from the site makes it out here.

Saturday is usually the hot day to be at NAMM. There is a certain buzz on Saturday that you dont really have on the other show days, and this year was no exception. This is a really long post with massive pron, but i think it worth the read.


I have been going to NAMM for many years. This years event was one of the best. There were great guitars, basses, amps, and lots of other gear. But what made this show a bit more special this year, was my involvement with Dean Guitars. I have been playing Deans for about a year now, and this Dean Forum has given me the opportunity to meet great people and talk about the Dean guitars and basses I love. And going to the Dean booth this year was a bit more personal. I got to meet and hang with Brave Dave, and Steve from BRG, as well as meet Dean and Elliot, and many of the Dean Artists in the Booth. So thanks to everyone for being so nice and friendly at the show. The Dean booth was mobbed this year, and the buzz about Dean artists and Dean instruments is bigger than ever.

Now for the good stuff. Pictures. A bunch of them. First on to the Dean content.

hey could you get some of that SlimeBolt RB? Awesome pics man, thanks

I am not totally knowledgable on the different dime models, so I dont know if this is the one you are looking for, but it surely is a killer axe man!

Here is an EVO with a Burled Maple top. Very tasty. I am not an EVO guy, but this one had me at hello...

can you get me some nice shots of the new dime redwood usa thats in my avatar? thanks in advance and great shots.. have a blast man

There were some posts about this redwood ML the other day. I had noted that I thought that Dean should have left some of the natural redwood coloring in the body. Well, here is the dark one, and then a natural one. Sweet geets for sure.




Now this is the what I'm talking about...



Here is Rick Emmett Signing some kids guitar. Made his day man...




Before I get into the long anticipated Low Down content. Here are a couple of geets that grabbed my attention...

Here is a PRS with an amazing top... the pics dont do this justice... check it out. Part of the private stock collection.



This is a double neck V made by Bernie Rico Jr.



These are Neal Moser's personal axes.



Now the for BASS content. Here goes... Buckle you seatbelts folks...

The Fender Aerodyne basses have been a good seller for the last couple of years. But I guess Dean isnt the only company that hears "why dont they make basses in colors other than black." This Aerodyne sports a very nice flame top. I like this one...



The only thing I really liked at the BC Rich booth was this Spider bass...



Minarik makes some sweet guitars. Their basses are kind of cool too.



Nice Moser



I love Pedulas...



The purplest bass ever!



Quilt and Spalt... yummy.



Here is a sweet Bernie Rico Jr Whammy Bass... me likes.



RKS makes some whacky guitars. Now they are making basses too... pretty crazy.



I just love spalted maple. This bass was a good one.



Tune basses have been showing up in black for a while. Now they are making them in all kinds of whacky colors and inlays.



I think this is called a BEE Bass. That have been a big draw at NAMM for a few years. And these guys can play.



The ugliest basses ever!



And now for something completely different... the Fooking Fhury!




Thanks for reading this. I had a blast at the show, and had fun posting this stuff for you guys...

Here is the product page.

Anyone got one of these and have some opinions to share? I am looking at it because it seems pretty cheap for what you get, played with the various sounds on the demo on there and it seems cool. How hard is it to get those sounds? Do you have to plug it into the computer to do it, or can you get those straight to the amp without a degree in audio engineering? I have a little marshall 10 watt practice amp and the distortion just sounds like complete ass, wondering if this would make it sound any better (I assume you would run the amp on clean when used with this, I am a newbie!). I also like the drum machine built in, I mostly practice without any timing help so think this would be a good thing to help develop timing. Plus when I don't suck, I could record stuff using the USB connection. Seems like a neat device.

Any of you NAMM Attenders get a chance to check out the new Marshalls? How are they?

cool shite to be apart of this....never knew this was here till i got a dime.....i'll probably be askin a ton of questions. sorry for that but you all have done this for years and that makes you all ten-thousand times better and knowledgable....have any of you switched out the zebra neck pick up for another dimebucker? or maybe a screamin demon?

reason i ask is i have the esp kh 602 and the dime-o-flame and im gunna chuck the esp....dime plays way faster and better for me, but the pickups in the esp are both EMG 81s. they are pretty chunky and prefer the sound....dont wanna go active, so i thought puttin in another dimebucker....any thoughts? opinions?

Ok, I posted my ML here, cause It's not really a new guitar anymore. The strings aren't original and it has 1 or 2 small knicks in it. Sorry for the poor quality of the images (glare, bad photography, bad place to take pictures, ect.) Then I just posted links cause lots of pictures on forums get annoying really fast.

THE BEARS ARE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL!!!

and he didn't like it. Randy's got the 2nd pic; the awkward retaking after he made us delete the first....



It ought to read something like: "KK pwns Brandon" or some such. Anyway, he's a really cool dude, even if his sense of humor doesn't run to the Great side of things.....

Post that shite when you get in, Randy!

I am digging the new XP series with the series 2 painted headstocks. Very nice looking for a bolt on guitar. I noticed it looks brighter red in the catalog pic, similar to the ml666 minus the trem.

beginning to do a project.
Anyone here know Dime's EXACT setup he used for CFH and VDOP? I read he used a PQ3 but i wasnt sure of that or anything else. Can anyone list em out for me?

What kind of footswitch works on a Kustom Quad 100DFX amp?

The one that came with my old Behringer doesn't work.

the hired girls are supposed to be hotter than the visitors.....

My local newspaper had some interesting articles today about making instruments.

It costs $25 to make a violin in China! $25. And that's a decent one. Not a world class one, but a decent one. The article said that the original Chinese violins were terrible, but quality has gone way up.

The newspaper also did segments on local builders. There are 5 luthiers in my town. That surprised me, I only knew of one. Thier prices were are far cry from the Chinese violins. Most listed thier instruments at around $3500.

is that a USA or import?

Any new accessories at NAMM?

New picks? Stands? Straps? Straplocks????

We've got a Dean Ibanez RG
And a Dean ESP DV8

what is next? how about a Dean Warlock?

Have the Hardtails been discontinued? Didn't notice them in the big 07 lineup.

i was just wondering what guitars my fellow lefties would like to see dean put out for them.

Is this a USA or an import?

Someone please tell me what the MAP is if its an import...if its a USA i dont even want to know...

How are these in comparision to eachother. I've already got the Razor and i was thinking of buying a DOF. Do they have the same neck shape?

btw yeah i tried searching but couldnt find anything...

I'm a newer player and I’m looking for acoustic recommendations. I have an acoustic that I’m looking to replace with something different (see http://www.deanguitars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=30280).

My main goal is to just have fun experiencing a lot of different guitars. Right now I can see myself maybe turning over guitars at the rate of one a year. In the spirit of decent quality and still rotating easily, I’m initially thinking in the neighborhood of $500 guitars.

So I’m wondering what opinions there are out there about the following guitars that have caught my eye:

Exotica Dao (or Koa or whatever, sorry, I’m not looking at it right now and I get the two mixed up easily)
Exotica Ash
Psychobilly
Palomino
Others?

I’m guessing the ash is a less preferred wood for guitars, but it just looks cool as hell. There’s a little voice in my head that says that may be the one – although the little voice isn’t helping choose between natural and transparent black ;~)

The psychobilly cabbie looks cool, although a little cartoonish. I like yellow and black as a color contrast so it really catches my eye. But I suspect this guitar might be a bit like a moped – fun to ride but embarrassing to get caught on. How does the f-hole sound vary from a more traditional dreadnought?

The palomino is very similar to the psychobilly, but I'm having a hard time liking the sharp edge on the cut-away. I'd be interested in hearing what people have to say about it, but not sure that it's a contender.

Oh, and for what it’s worth, I do prefer a slightly thinner-bodied guitar to help compensate for the few extra pounds I’m carrying around the middle. So no jumbo dreadnoughts for me I don't think there's a big difference in thickness between the models I kicked out there, but any thoughts that way would definitely be a consideration.

Thanks,
Tom

im really interester in a orange rockverb 30 amp head has anybody played one or have any sound clips.

anyone know what kind of pickups are in these??

Hi guys,

We have decided to not release our demo as is, we want it to be better, soundwise and playing wise. It's pretty good for a first recording job/ demo but we feel it's not entirely "there" yet.
anyway for those of you who like a dose of old school 80's thrash/speed metal we hqve put it for free download here:

Here's an article I stumbled upon that has a little bit of the "Tropical" era of Dean Guitars history in it.

Since I haven't seen anyone do a side by side comparison. Pics are not great but you get the idea. From left to right Series 3, 2, 1

Me and some of my friends were talking today and we started the reminisce about the good old days when we got our first guitars. It was a fun discussion so I thought maybe Id bring it here.

My first was an Esteban acoustic. It was one of the early models when they first started making them. Not the best guitar, I know, but I learned a lot from that old thing. It wasnt well built, the finish was bad, and the soundboard was wavy, but I still play it from time to time.

What were yall's first guitars?

Not asking for Dimes settings here, just looking for some new tones to screw around with. Include all eqs/ effects if you use em.
Mine
(actually a rg150es)
prescence - 9
bass -9
mids - 3.5
gain - 8
Ill add more when I get my eq on wednesday...

does anybody know if there goin to release a white impor razorback with gold binding and hardwhere like the one that was on display? or was it just there for show? And if it's gonna be released what are the specs and when will it be out?

I need help. These are all supposed to be great and I need help deciding. Yay!

Are there any more that I missed?

When I got back from NAMM, my guitar had arrived!!
It came out great!!!

I've always wanted to go to the NAMM show!!! Thanks for broadcasting live. You guys did a fantastic job.

Thanks!

Can anyone give me links on Stew Mac for the Bridge, Nut, v-plate, and Tuners (all in black) to upgrade my guitar to pro quality hardware?

My BGML feels like it's cheap compared to my 79 (real floyd and nut and all), and it annoys me. It plays great, but needs an upgrade.

Anyone has any opinion on these? I have an oportunity of buying one of these real cheap...

Edit: I just bought it! Porn and review to follow as soon as I get it home!

... I really hope this is WAY better than my previous Marshall (AVT275)

Hey ladies and germs, I have a chance to pick up a near mint Randall Century 170 II head from a good friend, and get it for a couple hundred bucks.

Now Im pretty happy with my live rig, I needed a second head to hook up to a spare cab I have at home for a practice rig.

Question is, I dont have lot of money to be throwin effects thru this thing, so how is the tone and such with these heads by themselves? anyone ever own one? How was the gain, etc? Anything I should know before going and getting it.- Of course Im gonna plug into it and such first, but I just wanted to know if anyone here had any input on these heads. Thanks.

Alright check this out. The Ultra module on my RM100 is giving me dreadful feed back. Even with the volume on my guitar rolled down. It's only this module... Bad preamp tube??? I just got this amp 2 weeks ago and stock tubes are warrented for 65 days. So hopfully thats the problem so I can have it taken care of. Any input is appriciated.

Little shot of the Bullseye RB at the end there as well..

How are they? i got a carvin catalog and a good usa is less then 1k. anyone own one?

I'm gonna take the advice Armitage, BFH and everybody else gave me on that last thread and keep the cavity. HOWEVER, I love this guitar and I think it deserves only the best, so what is the best Kahler on the market right now? And will I have to do any extra routing for it? And MOST IMPORTANTLY, can I do dime squeals with said Kahler? Thx.

Did you all notice that there are all of these new import models yet still no sign of the Dixie Rebel?

Interesting. Sure would be nice if we could atleast get some info on it. Ya know, having a problem with the body, or the graphic just doesn't come out right.

Give us something

There must be something out there that compares to this old furman pedal. What makes it better than a 10band mxr eq in the loop? I've never played a furman just becuase they're so hard to find.

Hey guys, the Matt Heafy "style" razor can be ordered...it will not be a signature guitar but it can be ordered as a USA MODEL

BUT...WHOEVER IS INTERESTED IN US DOING A PEARL WHITE RAZORBACK IMPORT RUN WITH GOLD PIN STRIPING AND A GOLD LOGO PLEASE LET ME KNOW...
EDDIE

Anyone know where all of them went?

USA Flame Razorback (3): Carlino
USA Camo Razorback: Carlino
USA Slimebolt Razorback: ?
USA MKH Razorback: ?
USA Razor V Skull: ?
USA Razor V White: ?
USA Razor V Explosion: ?
USA Splittail: ?
USA Dave Mustaine (2): ?
USA 30th Ann Models?:
USA Warcamo ML: ?
USA Dime Redwood: ?
USA Rik Emmett: ?
USA Schencker Flames: ?
USA Soltero(s): ?
USA RC7: ?


And all the other ones i left out/import models?

First off, BLOODROOT: what's the skinny on the 5150's again? I have a guy offering me a older one, maybe one of the first ones for $400. Good deal? it's a 2x12 combo. I'm going to look at it, he says it hasn't been used for four or five years.
Second : I'm getting back together with my old band, reunion ->sans drummer, who will never have anything to do with me again... His loss, I guess. We gotta drummer, anyway. What the hell, I'm 44, still look good in leather pants, why not?
Third; I am getting a PRS Singlecut. I found one with a neck I like. Trans Black with two DiMarzios in her, an Air Norton and a Tone Zone. Bad assed as hell.
Never ever woulda guessed I'd be playing metal/hard edged stuff again. Oh, yeah, we'll record new stuff, too.
So the blues will hafta wait a while. All it took was some brew and some herb and it's like 1984 all over again! We are gonna rock out with our coCkRoaChes out, as Michelle would say!
POW POW POWWW!

Marshall Introduces The Limited Edition MG15MSZW Zakk Wylde Microstack






Marshall Amplification introduces the Limited Edition Zakk Wylde Microstack. "Zakk is not only a fantastic ambassador for Marshall Amplification but also a great friend of mine," Marshall founder, Dr. Jim Marshall, OBE, states. "It was over a few whiskeys with Zakk that I came up with the idea of creating a microstack for him and I enjoyed watching my design team customize its finish to fit Zakk's inimitable image."

Based on the MG15MSII Microstack — Zakk's longtime practice amplifier of choice — this new signature microstack offers Marshall-size tone in a compact form sharing the unmistakable look of Zakk's trademark Marshall "Wall of Doom" he uses whenever he plays live.

Measuring a mere 37"H x 15"W x 9"D, the 2-channel (Clean & Overdrive), 15-Watt head powers two 1x10" speaker cabinets, one straight and one slanted, for that classic Marshall stack look. Zakk's trademark look include bull's-eye motifs on the front-panel along with authentic TV grill cloth and gold piping, topped off by gold-brushed Marshall logos on the head and speaker cabinets. Controls include Clean Volume, Overdrive Gain, Overdrive Volume and Reverb level, as well as a 3-way EQ network with controls for Bass, Contour and Treble.

The amp features Marshall's proprietary FDD™ (Frequency Dependent Damping) circuitry, which accurately mimics the interaction of a tube amp's power stage with the loudspeakers it is driving. Additionally, the new microstack boasts a CD input, an Emulated Line Out and a Headphone jack that, when used, mutes the speakers, for "silent" practice sessions (a feature Wylde never uses!).



Zakk comments, "Whenever I'm onstage with Black Label Society I run my Marshall 'Wall of Doom.' And whenever I'm warming up backstage or practicing on the bus I plug into my Microstack, which sounds totally slamming."

The new Marshall Limited Edition MG15MSZW Zakk Wylde Microstack will be available in early 2007 with a U.S. MSRP of $499.

Marshall Amplification is exhibiting at Booth #6440 during the 2007 NAMM Show in Anaheim, CA.

The middle lock on my Razorback's locking nut won't tighten....help?

Tiki now?

Finally - the Jazz-O-Blaster lives!!! I ended up putting a Warmoth maple CBS short scale conversion neck on it with factory finish no less. As you may not recall I modded some Duncan Quarter Pound Jazzmaster P-90s to fit a Strat double fat pickguard - a challenging task, but I was victorious in the end. Here's a reminder:




When I happened upon this neck I figured - Jazz Master pickups deserve a Jazz scale neck - so I went with this one. The body is a light ash genuine Fender in Siena Burst and weighs a paltry 3lbs 3oz. I shielded the cavities + the jack cavity in aluminum like the pickguard - (no galvanic action here) I installed a graphtech nut, roller string tree and Grover locking tuners. The bridge is a Wilkinson "Modern" two point and it's really Schwing - heavy, stable on the stock Fender studs and really stays in tune for a "floater". . . . so without further adoooooooo - "heeeeere's Jazzzzzy . . . . ."

Our band is starting to get somewhere. I'm on lead/rhythm guitar, my friend is on bass, and my other friend is on drums. It was just confirmed about 5 minutes ago that one of the drummers friends is joining the band as the other lead/rhythm guitarist and I couldn't be happier. He is a killer player. We only have one song as of right now, but people tell me they love the feel of it. I posted it in the Off Topic section but here's a video of us playing our song at the church. I'm the one with the white Schecter Tempest custom. I'm playing through a Kustom Quad 100w combo and i'm using the amp's reverb. The bass is pretty much inaudible and the drums can be heard somewhat. My solo was improvised and it sucks. I have a solo written now, though.

Whats the name of the song(pretty sure its a van halen song) with the tapping solo dime plays in the end of the 16 year old vid(starts at 2:53), I can't seem to find it.... http://youtube.com/watch?v=hmY2JinuutA

Hey guys, been a long time since I bought a new DEAN, mostly because the prices seem to have gone up considderably since I bought my first few customs in 2003-04. However Jon at funkyMunky music gave me a very good price on a razor V. I am GASsing on on of these for a long time but though the pricepoint was pretty ridiculous. This however gave me the chance of buying one in my favourite colourscheme black/yellow. It has EMG’s which I am not particularly fond of so probably gonna replace those with a DiMarzio X2N/PafPro combo or some of those new D-activators. I am really pyched about getting the razorback V since they have really grown on me, I am a huge fan of the “old school” DEAN designs but especially the Razor V has drawn more and more attention, especially since I saw the V they made Kerry King.

Anyway here’s a pic, more when it arrives here in Holland!

A few weeks ago I got a call from a member of a well known metal band with offer to put some material together for a side project. Met with him last night to discuss the direction we wanted to take in putting together this band and shopping the material to certain labels. I’ve been out of the “metal” scene for years while working on my solo stuff and haven’t really kept up with all the developing metal genres.

I really do like heavy music if its done right (my ears know) but I’m really not a huge metal listener, however this is an offer with potential so I need to at least explore it.

So over the last 2 weeks while writing this new material I've been asking myself...”what am I writing…is it heavy enough…would it be considered Nu-Metal or industrial or Death…what? I just don’t know. So, this will be a great opportunity for me to get EVERYONE’S input.

Without tagging certain existing styles, what would be something from a new band that would make you go “man, that’s great! Finally something fresh, unique!”

1) Composition (it is a straight 4 piece band…but what about adding a sampler or electronic, syth player?..thoughts)
2) Lead work (do’s and don’ts)
3) Vocals…although this area is in his background we are staying away from the Death metal growl style and satanic references.

Input?…

what's the base price for the USA splittail?

... or any info actually on the guitar Zakk is playing in various shots of Live and Loud ?

this one


looks like a Les Paul with little tiny horns on the headstock

*edit*

Nevermind. I found what I was looking for.

Any reviews or thoughts on these two amps? I've got a friend looking at them, and I know nothing about Mesa Boogies....

im in a pickle atm.i dont weather to upgrade my pups or to buy a new amp first.im currently using a lil line6spider2 15wt and aslo have a peavey rage transtube.i no longer have my marshall mg100dfx.how much differencr do pickups make to the overall sound,i have never done this before as you can probably tell,thats wy im askin you.aslo whats pick ups should i opt for.as there are just so many and i dont see why they are expensive as for what they are they can be made very cheaply currently have a dean 79v in bb,i dnt know if the bb pick ups are diff probly the same,but just in case.so should i upgrade pups or amp.which may be a randall rg75g3 or something along them lines.or you could also offer similar amps in that price range that you like or have had good reviews

thank you for reading my blabber
Hayden

Anyone?

and I don't care what it's on. Quilted, just like that. A caddy, maybe? An ML would line up nice too...

I am a lead guitarist and i do a hell lot of solos and fast songs. My fingers lock up and ache after about an hour though. Whats a good finger strenghtner.

Not only did i order the usa 30th ML the guy had a usa reb razorback..both are now in layaway!!! though it might take me a few years to pay it all off hes giving me a hell of a deal!! Motor city guitar in Michigan!! thank god for long layaways!

sorry just had to share my joy!!

One of my friends has the 81 85 combo in his schecter and it sounds amazing. I was wondering if there is something better than those emgs, mostly because i have a ml 79 and i the pickup cover would look ugly on it. I would like zebra colored pickups.

Got my Tickets Pre-Sale today!!! and with Down and Megadeth Opening the Show how much better can it get??? Woo Hoo!!!

For those who don't know, "Heaven and Hell" is the "Dio Years" Black Sabbath!

Come on March 22nd!!!

i was at Sam Ash today and they had a les paul double cut looking guitar with a gibson looking headstockk with just a wood natural finish and it looked pretty old. i took it off the shelf and on the headstock it Epiphone wiht a little usa under it. on the back it looked like a gibson serial number with MADE IN USA under it. the serial # indicated taht it was an 81. i played it and i realy liked it. sounded and felt like a vintage gibson. it was about $500. anyone know anything about these usa epiphones and if its worth $500?

http://roadrun.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=65860

please need to know what's the model, I have it since '94 and works just fine, the frets, neck tremolo, everything is on place, I change the pickups (dimarzio) and all the electronics, take off the tone pot and rise back the vol pot ( it just get on my way) and put a switch instead...please tell me all about this and make my day!!! thanxs a lot

Anyone on the board have any opinions on this pedal? I was thinking of getting one and running through the loop on my RG100ES xp head in the effects loop. Maybe easier than getting a pq3. I realize this has no tone shaping abilities as such but with a good eq I think this setup may work pretty good according to the reviews I've read on it.

I just bought my ml 79. I was wondering if it is worth it to put in a floyd rose. You are probably wondering why i didnt get it with the floyd. It is because I didn't want an import floyd, I read in a bunch of places that they suck. So will it make my solos sound better. I mostly do battle of the bands talent show type stuff, so i like to make the stupid preppy girls think im amazing by doing simple solos with lots of bends and pinch harmonics.

What wood material gives out the best sound in your opinion.

Right now im playing a Jcm 800 2203 i like it but im not thrilled with it..any suggestions on what else to try out? i thought about a JSx peavy..any other ideas?

I like the idea of the leather jacket that came with the special edition Hardtail. Now we have a granite COA that comes with the 30th Anniversay.

What other free things have come with guitars??? Of course other then strings, case, shirts, stickers, etc.

Anything else from Dean? Other companies??

Got these off the ESP board, damn that is shiny!




Me wants one, bad.

why did dean get those new headstock shapes. they have them on the Micheal Angelo Batio sig and the Rusty Cooley sig and the Dave Mustaine sig. what made them change the shape so dramaticly?

First off I would like to say a huge thanks to Ian @ UK Guitars for staying open late for an hour chatting to me today and also giving me a great deal on this Razorback Explosion I must say it is great having a Dean dealer on the forum just down the road from me so if any of you UK guys want me to check anything out that you want I`m sure I could pop down and take a look for you
and now over to the porn(pics could be better, phone camera and sorry no naked girlfriend this time )










Now I just have to set it up how I like it and replace the floyd arm for a screw down one ( I wish Dean would do that hint hint ) and it`s another beast at my disposal

This dumbass on the megadeth board has just ordered a Mustaine VMNT ltd for get this.............$7500 !!!! And she's not even gonna play the thing. Just to put on the wall............WOW....is all I can say.


[QUOTE=DOTSY]Just thought I'd brag a little!! Just ordered a tranparent black Dave Mustaine Ltd. VHMT and I cant f**kin wait......... I dont play guitar. Its goin straight in a glass case and up on thye wall in my Megadeth room. Any one else buying?..[/QUOTE]


[QUOTE=DOTSY]No British banger. Tried to get some of his personal guitars in the auction that time but had no luck! Have a couple of nice hand painted ESPs, one I particularly like with pinhead from the Hellraiser film on it. just dont have time to learn truth be known. I drum with a band and between that, running a business and tryin to keep my family a family, I find myself all out of time! Maybe someday... Still, nice machine to have guys...[/QUOTE]


[QUOTE=DOTSY]Thanks again British Banger but I wont be buying anything else anytime soon. Bein charged £3800 sterling ($7500 approx) for this machine so it kinda dents my instrument spend for a while! Just been told I wont have it til June either!! Bummer! That said, Im also supposed to be the first one to have ordered one so Im kinda chuffed about that. June wont come quick enough...[/QUOTE]

Like 'em hate 'em, want to see more of them?

You guys have probably seen these new standard color selections for some import Deans. The CGI's and web images don't show the paint well at all. If it's anything like the paint on the pro series, it will be AWESOME, but I just can't get a good enough pic to really tell.

I ordered my Razorback DB in red. *Crosses fingers* I guess we'll see at DOA!

I didn't see any blue ones in the NAMM pics, I need to hunt down some photos. I was just wonderin' what you guys thought...

any pics of the control cavity of the Razorback DB?

Dean not only company making a Razorback V

I have a 79 MLF that just came back from a setup. I tune it, and then play for like... a minute, and then it's out of tune. But if I slightly bump the floyd, the pitch changes completely and it sounds perfectly in tune again. I really don't think this is normal. Can someone tell me what I can do to fix ths?

Id like to hear peopls thoughts on metal humbuckers? i tried emgs not thrilled...the dimebucker is pretty good...

This guys building a 20 string acoustic guitar I want one!

http://forum.intermusic.com/viewtopic.php?t=65140

Not that many care but I am stoked... been quietly working on a new band for a while, writing songs and finally got the last piece of the pie a very good vocalist ( after it seems 400 auditions) and gets what we are doing. The name is Dirty King after the COC song senor Limpio and the first album art is my avatar if you don't know me I'm the guy that did the 3rd track on the first DOA album. Been around the fourm awhile just quiet.

if you dig BLS, Down COC, Sabbath , Pantera you will dig it

Wish us luck

Mark Tremonti and Jeff Loomis join in towards the end.

for what it's worth from blabb-bibbermouth

The first dates have been announced for the 2007 incarnation of Joe Satriani's popular G3 tour, which will kick off on March 14 in Phoenix, starring Satriani, John Petrucci and Paul Gilbert. The tour will play selected dates in North America throughout March and April. The first dates are as follows:

Mar. 14 - Dodge Theatre - Phoenix, AZ
Mar. 15 - House Of Blues - Las Vegas, NV
Mar. 16 - Grand Sierra Theatre - Reno, NV
Mar. 17 - Berkeley Community Theatre - Berkeley, CA
Mar. 18 - Orpheum Theatre - Los Angeles, CA

Continuing with the same successful formula as in years past, fans will be treated to individual sets by each guitarist with their own bands before joining Satriani and his band on stage for an all-star jam session. As with previous G3 tours, special guest guitarists will be invited to join the jam at select dates around the country. Past guests have included Neal Schon, Gary Hoey, George Lynch, Billy Gibbons, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robert Fripp and Brian May.

I am looking for a really good passive pickup for my Razorback. I have an EMG 81 that I will drop in if it doesn't work, but what is a good one? I like a tight low end, with lots of punch and lots of clarity. Any suggestions (besides the Dimebucker)?

So, I finally ordered the parts I need to fix my Ibanez, and I figured I should really give her a good clean while I'm at it. Also, the lug nut which adjusts how tight the whammy arm sit in the hole in the trem is misaligned, so I figure I'm just gonna pop the tremolo out, clean it and try and fix it.

I've never done this before, am I likely to be going headstrong into something that... well you know. Is there anything I really need to know, and can anyone shed some light on how I could go about fixing the alignment of it and stuff?

I also need to get the grime off it, anyone suggest anything good to it with with, i.e tools and substances to clean it with?

Cheers

what is everyones fav song/band? now the song and band dont need to be the same, im just trying to open my horizons and whatnot personaly my favorite band is Children of Bodom well.. pantera is my favorite, but i know i can still expect more music from CoB, so i guess my fav band that is still around is CoB but all around is Pantera, and my favorite song is Bleed For Me by BLS

so what is everyone elses favorite Band/Song?

I'm looking for a picture of Pearl Jam from 1991 and taken in Hollywood according to the Guitar Legends issue with them in it. I don't have a scanner and I need this picture. Can anyone help me find it? I've used multiple search engines and words and I still can't find it. It's black and white, has Eddie Vedder on his knees with the mic stand and McCready on the ground with his guitar, on the left. I've seen it a billion times but for some reason I can't seem to find it and Pearl Jam's official web site won't work for me. Thanks to anyone who can help me or try to.

This thing is in the works and should be a killer...

Dave Mustaine – Megadeth: We’re currently developing an amp with Megadeth guitarist and frontman Dave Mustaine. He was looking for a way to make a single amp that could do what his old previous amp-and-effects rig could do. This single amp has four of his favorite sounds, from clean to our insane high-gain sound, plus effects including delays that can spill over from patch to patch. This will all be built into a racked amp head that he can take on tour

any of you guys heard of this guitarist ?
I recently discovered him by searching for NAMM 2007 videos - I found some videos of him and his band playing at the Fender Frontline show

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVwFbj2XCw4
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL6efh0fn70

I liked those so I thought I should listen to more of his stuff ... I gave "Shedding Skin" a listen and it is a kick-ass album ! really heavy and Vai-esque !
solo stuff too, cause I think he played in a band called Cosmosquad too right ?

[img]http://www.deanguitars.com/userpics/lib6/wtf.jpg[img]












just why

i just found out that trivium is gonna be touring with LOG. This is frippin awesome!! im gonna be going to the show in st. petersburg. its gonna be awesome.

Dave said that he'd bring all three of his designs to Dean eventualy. Everyone focused on a King V and the Axxion but nobody brought up the Y2KV!

I definatly look forward to a Dean version of this guitar. It seems like its halfway between a sharp "King" shape and the more round standard V. It also looks bigger in the Rude Awaikening vids.

A floyded version would be sick also. It's wierd, I heard someone qoute Dave that said trems are for people who dont know how to solo. Yet 90% of the time in the DVD he's using a Y2KV with a floyd.

Hey, just found a new local Dean dealer. For a small shop he has alot of Deans including a DFH/CFH, FBD, Explosion RB, and a RUST, and some EVOs, Trans blue HT. All at GREAT prices. I was shocked. Now I have a place to try them out, and get a nice price. If anyone wants an example pm me. This is so great. Now I have a dealer like alot of you close to Jon, Steve,Eddie, ect..........

Yo guys, my bro has got a jackson king v with a bill larence USA pickup in the neck. But we have no clue what kind it is (500xl or 500r or whatever) and all it says on the back is Bill Larence USA. Anyone know how to identify it? like what a 500L or XL reads on an ohm meter or soemthing? I mean really it wouldnt matter to us what kind it is, but he took it out of the guitar, and one of the wires broke, so now the wires are ony long enought to use in the bridge. But i guess maybe we will have to just wire it up and see how it sounds in the bridge.

Looking at these pictures, there's pretty much NO question about what we sound like.

Also, we just finished a 3 song demo, if you want one, check our page out, and hit us up with a mailing address and we'll hook you up.

i bought 2 boxes of NOS tubes , and in one box there are probably close to 200 assorted 9 pin tubes (all smaller and simular to like a 12ax7) i found a couple of 12bh7a tubes and was wondering if i could test them in place of a 12ax7 tube . they are of a comparable size and i know that 12au7s and 12at7s can be used in place of 12ax7s but i have never heard of the 12bh7 model before .

the other box contains larger tubes , there are a couple 5u4s and a 6v6 but for the most part i have never seen any of the models that are in either box .

i'll take a picture so you dudes can see .

when did this come about? i realy want it. it looks sick with the black headstock.

I don't have a cabinet yet but I'm going to order the Randall R412CXM on Monday. This head just screams. I can't imagine needing more gain than this puts out with the sustain button switched. All the same people say they're boosting their signals with eq's and things. I'll give it a try when I get my cab. It sounds way warmer than my RG100SC combo. The distorsion is WAY different as well. The two amp might as well have been made by totally different manufacturers. The infamous footswitch came with the amp and I played with both channels on. It was cool but I have no idea when I'll need that feature. If anybody knows please suggest. I played the amp through a marshall 4x12 1960 cab and it sounded pretty good. I read those cabs are a little bright with these amps so I look foward to trying the randall cab. The clean channel sounded good as well. I know now what people mean when they say "welcome to the buzzsaw" or "turn up the chainsaw". I listened to Dokken and Lynch Mob cranked the whole way home (1 1/2 hour drive) I was so pumped up. I'll post pics tommorow if somebody could tell me how.

Definately one of my favorites

What's the best fuzz pedal to acquire in your opinions?

Country radio grapples with shifting demographics By Ken Tucker
Sat Jan 27, 6:17 AM ET



NASHVILLE (Billboard) - When Los Angeles country music station KZLA changed format last August, alarms sounded in the country music radio and record communities.

The nation's No. 2 market joined New York, which has lacked a country station since 2002, and San Francisco, which bowed out of the country game in early 2005, as the third among the top five markets with no FM country outlet. (Two Los Angeles-area AM stations recently switched to country.)

Among the reasons for the KZLA switch: It's increasingly difficult to succeed with country radio in a market where Caucasians carry less and less sway. A 2006 Arbitron report estimated that only 5.4% of country radio's nationwide audience is Hispanic and 2.3% is black, while 92.3% of country listeners fall into Arbitron's "other" category (which includes Caucasians and Pacific Islanders). But in recent years, U.S. Census figures show, the Hispanic portion of Los Angeles County's population (which grew to 44.6% in 2000 from 37.8% in 1990) has passed up the county's non-Hispanic white population (which slipped to 31.1% of the total in 2000 from 40.8% in 1990).

At the annual Country Radio Seminar, to be held February 28-March 2 in Nashville, Edison Media Research and industry trade group Country Radio Broadcasters will present results of a collaborative study of the relationship of Hispanics with country radio and music. And meanwhile, with demographics shifting across the United States, country radio will have to adapt if it hopes to maintain its role as radio's top format. (As of December 2006 there were 2,047 country stations in the United States, according to M Street Journal. News/talk was second with 2,007 stations.)

While most country stations continue to focus on their declining core, at least one has been more aggressive when it comes to attracting Hispanic and African-American listeners. Since the former comprise 46% of the 12-plus demographic and the latter another 20%, Miami might appear to be a bad place for a country station. But WKIS (Kiss Country) has aired the format for more than 25 years.

Historically, Arbitron has tended to rank the station No. 1 or No. 2 in the market among non-black/non-Hispanic 25- to 54-year-olds, according to program director Bob Barnett. But the market's ethnic composition, Barnett says, weighs heavily on decisions made at WKIS. "With zero exaggeration, it's a factor that impacts everything we do in programming, promotions, marketing and sales," he says.

A dwindling white audience makes attracting new listeners a necessity. "With the ongoing white exodus from South Florida--a near 20% decline in whites since the 2000 census was implemented--the challenge before us is to replace relocating white listeners with Hispanic/Latin listeners," Barnett says.

It's not easy to do. "There appears to be a very vocal bias (and/or) prejudice that exists in South Florida among whites who feel that the Hispanics have 'pushed' their culture and language on everyone else," Barnett explains. That bias makes it difficult to reach Hispanics using the WKIS airwaves, he says. "For example, we can't even do bilingual IDs without significant listener backlash."

The station's marketing efforts are "stealth or street-level, so as not to anger the loyal core users," Barnett says.

He is also reaching out to the Hispanic audience through music. "We're attempting to make the music mix more Hispanic-friendly without disenfranchising the core," he says. "It becomes a very delicate balancing act.

"The Hispanic listeners have little to no history in the format, so older songs aren't as popular with Hispanics," he explains. Likewise, he says, traditional-sounding country is less popular with Hispanic listeners than the pop leanings of Shania Twain and Faith Hill.

The good news, according to Barnett, is that Cuban-Americans and many South American Latins who have relocated to South Florida have a profile similar to country listeners. "They're very family-oriented, hardworking, spiritual and patriotic. The themes in country music aren't foreign to them.

"Now that we're getting into the second and third generations of Latins, it appears that the assimilation into American culture is slowly taking place -- as is their interest level in country music."

And what of Nashville's historically lily-white record labels? Might they add non-white artists to diversify their rosters? "That just isn't the way it works," Warner Bros. Nashville chief Bill Bennett says. "If you find someone with real quality music, you don't care what ethnic background they're from."

Bennett adds, "We have Cowboy Troy and Rick Trevino, but not because they're ethnic. We have them because they make great songs."

Barnett, not surprisingly, sees things differently. "I think the degree of difficulty in marketing a black or Hispanic or Latin artist to country radio may initially be too unfamiliar and too overwhelming for most on Music Row," he says. "The labels are more likely to choose the path of least resistance, but there may be an opportunity for a renegade independent label to take that risk. The potential payoff could be huge, but obviously not without great challenge."
