Dimebag Darrell Designed THIS When He Returned to Dean Guitars - Dean Razorback Review

[@Mr.Goldbar]

I remember Trivium actually using these guitars back in The Crusade era until around Shogun. I'll always remember the Young Guitar Magazine instructional video from 2007 where Matt played a custom painted white and gold Razorback with Dimarzio Petrucci pickups, and Corey played a Razorback V with the Skull paintjob :)

[@EricMorettin]

I remember those distinctly! Always loved those guitars. I really want a black and yellow Razorback 7 like what Matt used as well.

[@Mr.Goldbar]

@@EricMorettin yeah Trivium really made me want a Razorback as a kid. Too bad Dean were assholes about Dime's shapes and now they're going for crazy money :(

[@EricMorettin]

@@Mr.Goldbar Search the used market and you may be able to find a deal. Same goes for most guitars that aren't made anymore due to supply and demand. People want these guitars, and they're hard to find or not for sale unless the right price is found.

[@andrefalzon3437]

Those were the days. I found out about Dean guitars thanks to Trivium. Got addicted to Razorbacks but couldn't afford one as a fourteen year old. Luckily I managed to get one last year .

[@BadMotivator66]

i always thought those looks sick! matt's white/red sun one too

[@everscootsmydude5716]

rip dime. it's so sad that he couldn't play these beautiful guitars.

[@EricMorettin]

Agreed. It would have been cool to see what he would have designed with the Razorback and beyond if he was still with us.

[@luigizanellato2959]

Def a bummer man.

[@Bag_o_Balls]

I just ordered an 07 razorback explosion, got it for 650, usually runs for so much more, I'm so happy lol.

[@EricMorettin]

Sick! Great price too

[@JGWentworth123]

Great deal I wish I could find something like that

[@jakerobinson8274]

Oh wow I’ve got one of these silver beveled ones , not bad, love the frets

[@montythemetalman]

It Makes Them Disappear was a phenomenal choice for demoing a guitar from around that era

[@EricMorettin]

Thanks! RTS needs more love, and it's too bad it doesn't get the love it deserves.

[@luigizanellato2959]

I have the Korean 2007 shards Razorback. It’s fun to play. It’s at my local guitar shop getting some work done, it was a second hand guitar and I was having trouble with setting the neck up properly. It’ll be worth it when it’s done I hope! 🤘thanks for posting the video man.

[@douglasblackwell5704]

I have the same guitar my razorback shard got the emg zakk Wylde pickups 2006 model plays awesome $1400 guitar bud real Floyd rose

[@justinvandenberg3549]

i got a razorback explosion witout any scratches like new and a ml knight and a dean stealth brazilian burst and a randal ha;f stack love these guitars

[@EricMorettin]

Lovely collection 🤘

[@MadscientistRookie]

As someone who has been searching for a Dime Razorback, I got a 7 string second hand one, I always wanted one when I was a kid cause it looked cool, just because I was introduced to Pantera when I was a newbie into guitars, also 10's solo is the first time I got obsessed with Pantera, early US Dubs DBZ Movie with US bands was how I got to really want to chase that song

[@Razrback]

Killer solo work

[@EricMorettin]

Thank you 🤘

[@JackDRipper-jv9bj]

I could only dream i want either the dime o flame or the razorback explosion

[@EricMorettin]

Those pop up every now and then so keep an eye out!

[@KingxChaxhi]

This is my first guitar

Nice!

Used to have one just like this, same finish. Traded it in years ago for an LTD Nosferatu. Yesterday though I got another one, this time a Slimebolt.

[@KaddysJamKave]

Niceeeee man, i'd buy one of these If I come across it in my neck of the woods for a reasonable price. Love all me Dean's. Oh, and it appears "Dime Guitars" is going to be a thing with THE Dean Zelinsky at the helm.

[@EricMorettin]

So I've been hearing. We shall see what happens! I know a prototype exists

[@darrellkunn]

I have this exact guitar haha, I was wondering how much you got it for? I'm never planning on selling mine, because it was a hand me down gift from my dad that I spent years begging for lmao, but there seems to be no information on these guitars.

[@EricMorettin]

This is not my guitar, just one I worked on. Hopefully this video gave you some information on your guitar!

[@darrellkunn]

@@EricMorettin This video actually taught me a lot about it! Good job and thank you haha

@@darrellkunn you're welcome! Glad you were able to take something away from it!

[@Malum09]

Speaking about the Shapes that Dime designed I want to know is the Dean “Rebel” (that’s how I call that shape) was also designed by Dime or Was it a Dean original creation?

[@EricMorettin]

That's the Dixie. Not sure if it's Dime or Dean original but it would be awesome to see again!

[@Malum09]

@@EricMorettin thanks for the correction!

[@Hellslayer679]

Only thing bout these the necks are too beefy I've has one for years and I still wrestle with it but my hands are small too .

I skipped on this when one came in for sale for a stradi VMNT.

The vmnt is so good. I reviewed one on here a while back

I have one of these Dean razorback with a rust finish it says it is made out of mahogany but only weighs about half as much as my Les Paul why is it so light if it is made out of mahogany which is a heavy wood?

[@EricMorettin]

Is your rust Razorback a newer one made overseas? Each cut of wood will be different from the next in terms of weight, grain pattern, density, and timbre/tone.

[@timruss7609]

@@EricMorettin yes it is less than a year old

[@Hellslayer679]

I have a slimebolt and it's heavy but not sure if that's good or bad .I've played really light ones that sounded great .

[@timruss7609]

I'm not sure if my rust Razorback sounds good or not I have never played it it has been in the case for 2 years since I bought it

Hearing you play it makes me want to go back and grab it haha. It was an 06 Y serial with the case. Neck pickup is different though. I'm holding out for an FBD or DFH though. Quite fun finding them in the wild locally either way. @@EricMorettin

I’ve played these they were trash straight out of the box. They needed a lot of adjustments.

[@EricMorettin]

Interesting. You've played every Razorback or just one bad one?

[@jefferyneill]

@@EricMorettin I’ve played from the USA Razorsbacks (including the Vs) down to the Entry levels. They are always full of quality issues and have been since they dropped them in the mid 2000s. Dean has always had low QC expectations and they almost always had issues in that era

[@EricMorettin]

@@jefferyneill that's too bad you played lemons. Every Dean USA I've played was stellar and the import stuff was always consistently good.

@@EricMorettin last dena i played was about 10 years ago their quality turned me off to them completely.
