Is there any other way they haven't exploited Dime's name yet?

To top it all off, it's a cheap piece of shit. $350 for the head, $500 for the 2x12 combo.

Picks? Straps? Distortion pedals? Strings? Cables? Tubes?

To quote, Dean has not yet begun to debase themselves.

I don't get it. Dime's tone is pretty awful out of context, and only really worked in Pantera. Why would anyone want it?

Too much focus leads to tunnel vision
Too much faith leads to religion
Too much knowledge leads to confusion
Too many guitar lessons lead to jazz-fusion

DR has the strings. MXR has the distortion. Not sure how all the licensing works, but somebody's getting filthy rich.

So now I can buy a signature guitar that Dime didn't play, and run it through a signature amp he didn't play, to get the tone he didn't have?

From the video: "Without their help and constant approval, and constant help....we wouldn't be looking at these things...."

Their refers Rita (Dimebag's long time gf, and his guitar tech).

I've said once and I'll say it again. So long as the Abbots approve, I refuse to have an issue with Dime's marketing".

"Hey, ex-girlfriend of famous dead guy. Can we whore your dead husband's name out to hell? We'll give you stacks of royalty cash if you let us."

Like they'll say no to that? It's not like Dime was a billionaire. I understand the family making money where they can, but it still doesn't change the shit-tasticness of marketing a bunch of crap products to people by plastering Dime's name on them.

You think ol' Darrell would have played a $349 shitbox Dean head?
