This comment means you are.....FIRST!

[@cradle2dave]

Love all the Dime guitars. I'm going to be selling a black washburn st pro if you're interested. It seems like you want them all. Lol

[@rodrossi9749]

There are 66 of these......I believe the one pictured on their site is # 1 ?

[@viniciusribeiro7279]

Watching Ola with a Dimebag guitar playing Pantera hits right in the spot, it just feels correct, I doubt you would ever stop covering Pantera stuff, but please never stop, because of you Pantera became one of my favorite bands

[@Jmilillo]

Ola is a huge Pantera fan. You can really hear Dime's influence in everything he plays.

[@viniciusribeiro7279]

@@Jmilillo definitely, I also love when he randomly plays a Pantera riff lol

[@MrChondr0]

Thanks for the shout out Ola! Enjoy it brother!

[@ricp123]

The Washburn is pure Dime sound.

[@Dewitt-b8n]

🎯

[@paulrockatansky77]

Washburn is tuned down to D standard, so it nails those Pantera vibes better. The Dean is in E standard. The quilt top looks better, imo.

[@Dewitt-b8n]

@@paulrockatansky77 the Dean was tuned 1/4 step above E for most of CFH. That Gave a sharpness to that tone thru solid state amp heads. Not sure what amp set up Dime had on CFH.

[@deicide666100]

Definitely agreed

[@philfrank5601]

The Dean is nice. The Washburn sounds INCREDIBLE. The next company to make Dime guitars should be more exact to the original Washyburn models.

[@Npoulsonshooting]

The original models are the deans Dime started with 2 deans one his dad bought him one he won in a contest

[@Fnberg744]

Sounds like any other guitar if you ask me. Which nobody did but we are all professionals here and my professional opinion is it sounds thin in the skin. Maybe my phone speaker not having the Dimestack setting is the problem.

[@theneer-do-well3240]

Honestly, I think the quilt top looks so much better. Then again, given the choice, I'd always pick quilt over flame.

[@jorockish]

I agree it looks nicer, but if you can't bent up on the Floyd than it's not a Dime guitar.

[@Synthphoney]

@@jorockish dimes primal concrete sledge was top mounted and he played it so??

[@jorockish]

@@Synthphoney even if true, Hendrix played a few Gibsons, but we all know the Strat is Jimi's real axe.

[@davej8045]

Sweet guitar! Couldn’t bring myself to part with the cash for one when they were still available and second guessed my decision. I knew they would sell out fast, glad you got one! I just ordered my Jackson Custom Shop from Chondro when I saw this magnificent work of art!

[@joshww2339]

These never get old!

Cheers from Texas! 🤘😎🤘 Way cool !! So happy for you! A favorite for sure! Sounds fantastic! ✌️❤️

Yeah, that's gorgeous, Ola. Congratulations!

[@pramotesoongkitboon795]

awesome sound. thank you for review ola.

[@joshww2339]

Chondro guitars brings the heat!

[@jeremytang5202]

Even though Dimebag himself said that Dean was his favorite, and the fact that he began his career with Dean, I still thought Washburn IS THE Dimebag guitar. Because during his and Pantera's success career, Dime used Washburn most of the time. And all those original new design of Dime signature were release by Washburn.

[@ryand4533]

Always thought the Washburn line was better! Looked meaner and the paint looked better to me. Never owned either Dean or Washburn dime models but my first electric was a Washburn and it’s still my favorite neck on any guitar I’ve ever played! I didn’t like any of his dean rereleases. I wish Washburn hadn’t gone under. I would love for them to remake his Washburn line properly!

[@ArnulfVonMetz1]

I am very happy to get the Dean Dime from Hell USA. It was Dimebags most played Guitar.

[@beardedslavbrew615]

@@ryand4533 Washburn guitars hasn't gone under, they're very much still in business

[@bobilly]

Dime used Dean thru all the glam era records and on their 3 biggest records - CFH, Vulgar, and Driven. So saying he used Washburn most of the time is fairly inaccurate. The Washburn slime is my favorite Dime guitar, but he only used Washburn on Trendkill and Reinventing the Steel, and IMO his tone by then was a shadow of how great it was on those other albums. Dean is nothing to scoff at there.

[@mikeys7536]

As legend has it, Dime drilled out his first Dean so he could fit a Floyd Rose in it.

[@upwardcrab]

Sounds and looks amazing ola!

[@OdinAllFather77]

Such an amazing guitar!!! Really enjoy your videos Ola. Abrazo Mexicano!!!! 🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻🇲🇽🤘🏻

[@ShadeHope1969]

Long time follower. When you went to open the case,In said "Bam Baby" and then immediately you said it. I busted out laughing, but coca cola went up my nose, Thanx Ola.Lol.. awesomr Guitar bro,Thanx for sharing....

[@garyheighway7635]

You truly do Dime proud. Would be absolutely epic if Rita would give you one of Dimes guitars. Come on Rita let Dimes weapons of mass destruction be heard again!!!!

i cant wait on the solar souther cross, and solar dime buckers

[@IStabz]

Awesome riffin!!~

[@xxchugchugxx420]

Love ya man .

[@ryanabitz]

I just hung out with Rita at Aftershock in Sacramento. Dean is making the new Dimebag line and will be available for purchase hopefully in January. I got to play the prototype along with his original Dean From Hell he played himself. Absolutely amazing and so humbling. Dime was such a great guy and his camp reflects that. I also got to go on Dimes bus with Rita and hang for a bit. So fucking cool. My life is officially complete….

[@barrettpugsley580]

when you played the floods solo it just felt right to play that on that guitar

[@raptureomega1912]

So I really love Dimebag's signature guitars, I tryed a bunch from some friends but there's a reason why I don't, and that's the 22 frets, I really can't play on a 22, I just love 24 and shredding on them. But still have fun with ur new guitar mr. Englund!

[@kevinp8155]

Watching you shred on all ur dime guiyars makes me soo jellous and envyous im a left handed player and have been searching for a signature dime to olay for years now and still have had no luck! Praying someday ill get my chance to have one

[@northernlefty5412]

Feel you on the left handedness. I gave up on the dream for a few specific guitars because they just never are made left handed.

[@kevinp8155]

@@northernlefty5412 its horrible ive found a few on the internet left handed but every time i go to snag one im too late!! Its rough its a discrimination against leftys haha!

[@eaglex5723]

Hi Ola, would you like to do a 'will it chug' with Fernandes ZO-3 travel/toy guitar?

[@tattooed1979]

Now you're just showing off!🤣🤣🤘

[@DrMurdercock]

Seeing that top mount floyd on this broke my heart Ola. She's worth paying your luthier to fix

[@ArnulfVonMetz1]

I am very happy to get the Dean Dime from Hell USA. It was Dimebags first most played Dean.

[@vincentrandles8105]

I am so amazed, astonished, & if I may say somewhat miffed that you (Ola) didn't play a Dimebag riff right out of the gate on that guitar!! What's the world coming to??

Nice video 👍🏻

the washburn SLAYS that dean.

[@Mikesosa75]

Top mounted Floyds are sick. Hoping for a Solar with that on it :)

[@kroamdoam9167]

I love the “soudern” cross.

[@alexnuzzi4780]

I was torn between this and a far beyond driven I ended up going with the far beyond driven although watching your video now I want both

[@Seven7Pain1]

im a dean and washburn fan id love to get a old washburn 7 string from 90s

[@rosesforgracebladetv]

🤘🤘🤘

[@manley1979]

Washy USA's use a scarf joint which is why you see that volute, much more prone to snap.

[@larustatrust]

that gates solo was so fucking clean

[@Andriy-kb5dx]

In this review I like Dean’s sound and colours more then Washburn, it’s just my private opinion, especially Floods riffs playing, anyway both guitars are perfect so it’s only everyone’s opinion to choose da favourite one. Thanks Ola for making the comparison

[@Legionkingz]

GETCHA PULL!!!!!!

[@thickestmoney93_47]

Hey Ola, can you do a my guitar video on your early Washburn Solars? Been watching you for a few years and recently had a hard time finding old videos on the history of solar and was really surprised to see the early guitars with washburn on the headstock, cheers

[@Old.Monkey.Bones.]

Oooh that's a stunner, holy sh*t! Looks better than the Washburn...sorry if that's heresy but it looks amazing with that quilt top.

[@43captrexkramer]

Even though I'm a Dean boy, I like the Washburn flamed top, and routed Floyd as opposed to direct mount.

[@TheMoiibxmoiib]

🤩

[@silentshred5483]

I thought all the Dean's with the Pantera Album covers were the last Models. I have the one with the DimeVision cover ; ) Thanks for your little nugget of Knowledge👍👍 If we make videos of our Dean's , can we send them to you and maybe you can Showcase them 😎🤘

[@jameskelliher623]

Any thoughts on the top mounted floyd? I've never used the top mounted one before thanks

[@themanwhostolethetone]

nice!

[@bburritt666]

I have a Washburn “The Cross” #34. Have had since 08. Need to do some mods on it.

[@ZeeEm1991Gr]

On the one hand, I dig the quilted top of the Dean much more than the flame top of the Washburn, and I'm glad that the Dean doesn't have the diamond volute... On the other hand, the Washburn doesn't have that chonker of a neck heel that the Dean has, probably allowing for a less awkward positioning of the thumb at the higher frets. As far as top-mount vs recessed Floyd Rose... I think recessed looks much sleeker.

[@TheMack]

Doesn't matter anymore, I just click thumbs up! Never fail! =)

[@slayerv1]

Anyone have a clue why you can still preorder the Dean ML USA SLIME and Dean ML USA BLACK off of guitar center or musiciansfriend?

[@vincentrandles8105]

And then you (Ola) start playing "I'm Broken" as the 1st Dimebag riff! On a new guitar!

[@cwwisk]

OLA! YOU MUST try a G&L Fullerton ASAT Special for "Will It Cug?"!!!! You will fall in love with T-Style guitars. Lol

[@boris.grinshpun]

What amp/multi/plugin are you using here? What is the best DSP plugin that can get me close to this sound? Thanks

[@toddkoenig426]

Seems like the cross on the body of the Dean has something odd in regard to proportion. Love the quilt and love the body shape, but like my Razorbacks - not the most fun to transport in a small vehicle (huge cases). That said, would love to have one but will most likely never get to play a note on either version. Congrats to Ola, both guitars a player of his skill deserves! Rock on! 🤘

[@sciencemansandera]

Probably going to be highly collectible. It also looks sharp
