Dean Michael Schenker Custom Guitar with Case Review

Dean Michael Schenker Custom Guitar with Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After sending back the retro model for this custom model, Amazon forgot the case it was supposed to come with.
The guitar smokes, and is Michaels original black/white look he had with the Gibson he and his brother had.
Becouse of the hassle of not getting a case, and no one to bitch at, I sent this one back too.
After thinking it over, I ordered the custom flame model from a different place.
At the price these Schenker V's are going for, nows the time to pick one up.
BTW,
The USA lights out pickups are the best I have heard.
Better than my Jackson dinky.

ESP LTD AX50 Electric Guitar (Silver Satin) Review

ESP LTD AX50 Electric Guitar (Silver Satin)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This guitar is playable out of the box, it's got a heavy/chunky kind of sound, the pick ups are nice, not the greatest but they're good. I loved it as soon as I started playing it. It's one of those guitars that attracts you to play well on it when you pick it up. It's bigger than you'd think, and the silver is beautiful, it's not too heavy, not too light, kind of perfect balance. The fretboard is fast and you'll have no problem going up and down this thing like I95. Did I Mention that it's really attention grabbing? My only qualm with it is that It had a lot of fret buzz when I started playing it but I guess I'll have to break it in.....BUY IT!

Dean Razorback V Guitar 25.5 Scale Explosion with Case Review

Dean Razorback V Guitar 25.5 Scale Explosion with Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this item from Musician's Friends through Amazon. The item arrived as expected. When I opened the box I noticed that the product was not the same. First thing is that I did not receive the explosion color, instead I received the two tone green color. I did not like it very much but it is not too bad.
And second I did not receive the item as Amazon describes it. Amazon says that it has a pair of EMG 81/85 pickups, but the guitar came with differents pickups which are not even like the EMG. Very bad pickups. I guess I will have to buy EMG pickups separately. Very very bad for Musician's Friends....what a pitty :(

Dean Dime Guitar from Hell with Case Review

Dean Dime Guitar from Hell with Case
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Dime would be proud, I loved his Washburn guitars, but always wanted a Dean like he started with... when they came out with these dime lines I kept telling myself I didn't need one, when they started selling them on Amazon, I watched them for years, finally Amazon tempted me too greatly with the $526 price tag and I jumped in and wish I had done so sooner... This thing shreds... I love playing it. I liked Dean, but hadn't owned one, they are great for their price range and even better getting them for a steal. It sounds great, plays fast, and looks good doing it. The case is great too.
Besides if you're looking at this you already know why you want it, I'm just affirming that it is the one you're looking for...

The Dean From Hell CFH is a straight-up replica of the Dean guitar Dimebag Darrell played with Pantera. Any fan would recognize this iconic axe from the band's Cowboys From Hell album cover, and any shredder would recognize some of its shred-tastic appointments: the classic Dean ML body shape, Floyd Rose double-locking trem, or the unique Bill Lawrence L500XL Bridge Pickup that Dimebag loved so well. This is a perfect axe for any rocker who wants to channel some of that Dimebag fury, and a fitting tribute to the man himself.



Dime ItThe late great Dimebag Darrell is a serious metal guitar hero, and Dean's series of Dimebag models pays homage. Dimebag started playing Dean ML style guitars in the late '70s, and made it one of the most recognizable shapes today. Dean offers a wide variety of Dimebag MLs to choose from, all boasting Dimebag's distinctive look and tons of mojo and attitude.

Mahogany BodyDean uses a mahogany body for this beast (as with many of its guitars).Mahogany is a common choice for electrics, dependably delivering a warm, full tone with plenty of punch and sustain. And of course there's that lightning-themed finish, sure to help coax a little electricity from your fingers on the fretboard.

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

Bill Lawrence L500XL Bridge PickupDimebag made no secret of his love for this particular humbucker, relying on it for a crystal-clear, harmonic-drenched tone--very shred-friendly, but equally suited for rhythm work.

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

Grover TunersIf you play guitar then you know what this means--solid, dependable tuning from the industry standard. These guitar machines are a triumph in engineering and style, with a gear ratio of 14:1, perfect gear meshing, and zero backlash and slippage. The gear box has a special lubricant for lifetime, trouble-free service.
Licensed Floyd Rose TremoloThe patented and often imitated double-locking design of the Floyd Rose tremolo allows you to lock your guitar in tune at the nut and at the bridge. Engineered like no other tremolo system, the Floyd's high-quality steel parts are manufactured to exacting specifications. Beat it up as much as you want--from traditional vibrato to dive bombing leads or flapping loose strings, and stay in tune while you do it.

DBD Traction KnobsDimebag always rocked his "traction knobs," which he created by taking a soldering iron to them, for knobs that are grippable no matter how much sweat's pouring off you on stage. Yet another aspect of the orginal Dean From Hell that Dean faithfully recreates here.

Dime Amplification Dime D100C 100W 2x12 Combo Guitar Amp, Black Review

Dime Amplification Dime D100C 100W 2x12 Combo Guitar Amp, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My first impression after taking this amp out of the box was depressing. One of the knobs was laying in the bottom of the protective plastic, so after giving the other knobs a light tug to test them, two more slipped off easily. Then, there was no manual to be found. So, instead of plugging in and playing, I spent time on the internet looking for a downloadable manual and putting contact adhesive on the knobs in hopes they will stay put. I emailed both Dean and Armadillo Enterprises (the actual manufacturers of the amp) and received no response from either.

The Dime D100C combines Dimebag's signature searing lead and crushing rhythm sounds in a rugged, durable, and dependable combo amplifier. This bad boy has a user-friendly solid-state design that boasts 80W (@ 8 Ohms) of unbridled guitar force for all of your head-banging pleasure. It is equipped with a 4-band EQ (Presence, Bass, Mid, and Treble controls) with volume and gain controls for each channel. A Boost switch lets you jack up the gain for the times when you need maximum intensity. Each channel has a separate effects loops for additional tone sweetening options. The built-in spring reverb provides that classic reverb sound for added depth and greater flexibility. The D100C is loaded with two Eminence 12" speakers that deliver all the great sounds this amp generates with all the punch you'll need. Use the Included FS1 two button footswitch to select between the two channels for crystal clear tones or Dime's monster distorted sounds. Added touches include lightning bolt control knobs and DB (Dimebag) amp handles. The D110C Combo amp duplicates Dimebag's sound at a great price.

Dean V Dave Mustaine Guitar, Bolt-on Metallic Silver Review

Dean V Dave Mustaine Guitar, Bolt-on Metallic Silver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The pick-ups are very nice and deliver a lot of chunk (far from sounding muddy). The two volume knobs have allowed me to achive sounds I could never get with my single vol knob guitars. The Grover tuners are the best I've ever owned. The fret board is beautifully polished, easy to navigate, and very fast. The string-through body realy does increase sustain, and it's very easy to re-string. The paint is also very nice, and easy to keep clean. It's a rather large guitar, it took over an hour at Guitar Center to find a case to accomidate both its length & width. But I would'nt let the size turn u off, it has great balance and it's comfortable to play even while sitting (it's an absolute blast to play). Finally, I had to drill another hole in my guitar-stand a few inches higher to raise the base-cradle because the points on the "V" were so long they would hit the ground (it was easy). Now, I did write another review here at amazon on this same guitar (black model) before I saw this listing - which is the color I have. Anyway I truely hope this reiew is helpfull.

The guitars feature string-through-body design for serious sustain and playability, along with a variety of solid hardware appointments.

Mahogany BodyDean uses a mahogany body for this instrument.Mahogany is a common choice for electrics, dependably delivering a warm, full tone with plenty of punch and sustain.

Dean V Dave Mustaine Guitar, Bolt-on Classic Black Review

Dean V Dave Mustaine Guitar, Bolt-on Classic Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I used to play guitar years ago. I had never gotten truly proficient, but I knew a number of songs and wasn't bad at playing them. The problem was, I never really felt like I could play the stuff I listened to - Metallica, Megadeth, etc. Now, after about 8 or 9 years of not having a guitar (pawned off all of the guitars I had over the years, in needing to pay bills - never again!), I decided to pick up a guitar - one that would inspire me to learn some of my favorite songs ("The Thing That Should Not Be" and "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)", for example.)
While I didn't buy this guitar from Amazon (I want to be able to hold and play an instrument before buying it), I'm quite happy that I did buy it. It may be the "low end" of the Dave Mustaine signature series but, as far as I can tell, there's nothing lacking other than a few frills like upgraded inlays and custom paint jobs.
I've had my guitar for about a week now and I can't put it down. I've yet to find anything wrong with it or anything to complain about, save for the positioning of the strap buttons - one is right behind the neck, where it bolts on to the body, and the other is on the underside of the "top" leg of the V. A little difficult to get used to if you're used to strat-styles, but still pretty comfortable. I don't know if I'll ever be able to truly shred out some of the solos in some of the songs I want to learn, but I do know that I'll enjoy trying while playing this guitar. :D
