Dime's Dean From Hell tech specs?

[Metalman_666]

Does anyone have the specs for this legendary guitar? I'm interested to find out because I don't think I've ever seen this info anywhere.

What I think I know is ML shape mahogany body (neck), rosewood fretboard, original floyd rose, Bill Lawrence L-500L in the bridge (changed to XL around the time of Far Beyond Driven), stock or Duncan '59 in the neck... and yeah that's all I know.

The info unfortunately isn´t readily available.... the Dean From Helltribute is teh closest there is.....the main problem is that dime also shaved the necks down and nobody but dean really knows by hoe much

It had a 24 3/4" scale. He also used a DiMarzio PAF neck pickup on occasion. Aside from the shaving, don't Deans typically have V shaped necks?

So am I right in assuming mahogany body? Is there anything else?

The Dean From Hell is a mahogany bodied ML with rosewood fretboard. It had the V tailpiece, Dime had it routed for a Floyd and put a Lawrance L-500 in the brodge, later switched out for a XL-500. The neck pickups were PAF's, his Washburn ones had SD 59's in the neck, so that may be the best bet. I placed one of the american made washburns, it had a V-shaped neck at the nut which gradually went into a C shape higher up on the neck.

I played the new Dean FBD Dean guitar side by side with a '79 series ML with Floyd. The FBD is the same guitar with a Dimebucker in the bridge and different knobs, and it costs hundreds more. Neither of them have the neck profile of Dime's Washburn series

None of the guitars on that site have any hardcore specs really...everything is just Dime Dime Dime. Can they milk someone's death any more?

Yeah it doesn't make sense... Dean has no specs on their site for a lot of their guitars... Annoying really.
