Washburn Dimebag Darrell Signature Model

killer guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Made to take all the aggresion and power and pump it faithfully into any overdriven setup.

Awesome looks, good sound quality, the overall structure and build but a little on the heavy side. Never thought I'd own such a great piece of guitar history and it's an actual Dime and not those Dean tributes, although cool, i prefer my Dime.

The fretboard on my Washburn Dimebag Darrell Signature Model is awesome. Not having to cut the strings to replace them is nice. Neck is very thin. Action is good. I've had my dime for about ten years and its seen tons of shows. Very reliable.

With some descent pick-ups this guitar will scream murder. Put some Bill Lawrence or a Dime Bucker and the sustain really comes out.

allround heavy metal guitar,nice feel,easy to play,feels good,looks great,sound amazing

The incorporation of a 'Flying V' body with an 'Explorer' makes the Washburn Dimebag Darrell Signature Model a mighty mean looking mother! The body has great tone from the one piece structure and holds notes reasonably well. You can also achieve deep warm tones just from the body alone. It really can accomodate alot of different styles of music, but really suits Rock. The jumbo frets bring a lot of comfort to someone with big hands and as you climb the fret board this becomes more obvious. The neck is a thin U shaped neck but due to the Jumbo frets it is a little wider than most strats, (just a touch above the norm) and can actually take some getting used to. Altough there are a total of 22 jumbo frets for most if not all models, it can sometimes be restricting, leaving you wishing there were 24 frets creating a whole 2 octaves on one string. The tremolo system is of course a Floyd Rose system and like most others, will go out of tune if you continuosly depress and raise the bar to its immeasurable extremes. Good to have though overall. The pick-ups are washburn "mighty might" double humbuckers, though abit too weak without some outside assistance like a foot pedal or processor. They will however function well as all rounders once jacked into assistance. There is little need to chop and change the pick-up settings once you've acheived a comfortable sound using both double humbuckers at once. The guitar is also quite heavy and is much heavier than your run of the mill strat, which can leave you sore after afew hours of standing play. Overall the instrument is a good performance guitar thats reasonably priced these days, but if you dont have a good amp or a foot pedal the pick-ups can leave you wanting more gain from a combo amp on occasion.
