Or introduced the Rhoads Signature Warrior with horrible printed-graphic finishes and inlays.

That interview was so fucking awkward.

Yeah, I think the Rhoads is really no different than the Les Paul - both "names" have come to refer to the particular body shape, rather than the man who designed/played them.

You see FAR more ad campaigns with other people holding a Rhoads or a Les Paul than you do ads featuring Randy or Les, you know?

With those particular guitars, it is well past the point where we have signature models of signature models.

From what I read about the Dime heads, they contacted the designer of the Randall RG100ES (Dime's amp of choice for most of his career). The Dime amp is basically a RG100ES with a few updated tweaks so the consumer doesn't have to use all the outboard gear Dime used to get his sound.

which to a certain point would be worth it then. I mean lke if you were ina Pantera/Damage Plan cover band then way not. but also to the fact that the Les Paul and Rhodes guitars are more for the shape I can see that.

what a crappy interview. that second guy had no idea what he was talking about with the lightning bolt knobs and the "DB" handles. what a moron

[Wookieslayer]

I wouldn't mind trying one of these in person... but Dean should come up with something new than just relying on Dime's name

It was in that 14 amp shootout video also
