This needs the 'Roswell?' sticker. Also, have you ever considered making a video detailing what happened to the countless Washburn D3s and 333s Dimebag gifted to his celebrity friends? He handed them out like candy. For example, I know he gave Billy Corgan a USA Blackjack and James Iha a USA Dime Slime. In fact, I swear I saw the Dime Slime sitting around in some studio footage of the recording sessions for Mellon Collie. Of course, Corgan was a massive Pantera fan, and he credited them with influencing Mellon Collie. I'd love to know where those guitars are now.
It definitely needs the Roswell sticker. I love to make a video on the countless guitars that he handed out but he handed out so many to his friend throughout the years, that's really hard to say who even got them aside from obvious people like the guys from smashing pumpkins, Rob from Machine Head, Grady, and Scott from Anthrax. I would definitely love to know where they are now as well, and if anyone knows anything about who got them then feel free to let us know!
I've played Darrells original trendkill. It was made from a 333 and was all hand painted. It's very rough looking in-person. Not a pro paint job at all.
@@EricMorettin have a59 custom shop and the FM is easily as good . Even today's silly prices there still good value. Although I will say today there some incredibly well made guitars out there for pittence
Dude i know how to solder and im a bladesmith, so im not shy to get my hands working on stuff... But doing anything on a dime guitar as rare as that? Id leave it in a case and play it once a year or so...
@@EricMorettin good to know man, i am not an expert at all! Is just be scared to work on it. Like making swords but suddenly being handed excalibur to re fit the handle. Or a real authentic katana for a re polish... Aaah scares the crap out of me. Could you be so kind and tell me where i can have a look at the rarest dime guitars? Btw. I just subbed. Sincerly yours
@@silentforest4126 thanks! I'm still hearing of rare ones for the first time this year and I thought I saw them all. Join some of the Dimebag Facebook groups and that'll get you started.
@@silentforest4126 well for one it's a guitar it's made of wood and metal nothing to be afraid of. Two it was not dime bags personal guitar. And three if you don't maintain and take care of guitars especially with a Floyd on it it's going to turn to shit and make it even more degrading value. Like you said you're no expert but there's nothing with wanting to learn that's for sure cheers dude.
I ordered mine in 00-01 From my local washburn dealer as soon as i heard they were going to be made. I got it two years later i ripped out the pup for a dimebucker . Funny timing with the video literally just started to go through mine amd the bridge absolutely sucks
loved the video, love the guitar thank you. this is one of my favorites of dimebags guitars. thank you for the video, ive been looking for a in depth video about this guitar specifically. you went into such detail and taught me alot about dimebags tone and how he got it
I was close to buying this alien back version back in 2021 in Singapore. Except the seller was asking for a ridiculous price, lol. But yeah, I was surprised at how light it was, so easy to play and all that.
I found one of these(not with the alien back) about 12 years ago at a used guitar shop in Albuquerque New Mexico. The price tag was $900 so of course a grabbed it right away! When I got to the register, the manager came over and it had the wrong tag on it(supposed to be around $1400, but he gave it to me for the price that was on it. Had it for a few years and then like a dumbass, I sold it🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️. If anyone in New Mexico has this guitar, I will buy it back🙏🏻🙏🏻🤣🤣
@@ninothebossproductions1613 what’s your offer? I tried to post it on the dimebag gear marketplace for offered and the admin of the page offered me 2500$ within 3 minutes and I said I’ll wait to see what I can get and he didn’t approve the post I’ll have to put it up on reverb they are rare and hard to come by
funny story my dad was at a guitar shop and they had a usa trendkill with alien and he had enough money because he was saving it up for a while and they had it for a while he played it alot soon as he had the money he was like i want that one not one in the back and my dad new that it was a usa and the dude diddnt and he bought the guitar and the dude went into the back to find the case and the dude could only fine the usa one that washburn had sent and the dude said man i cant find the case so im going to get another out so i can get your goodies and your case and brought the trendkill in the back and the dude took it out the case and he was like there the same exact same guitar and the dude flipped the back of it and there was no alien and the dude had relized that he messed up bad and he asked my dad did it say usa custom shop my dad said nope just usa and the dude said i need that back and my dad said no i already paid for it so that day my dad walked out of that store with a usa washburn trendkill
Dime also flipped his Bill Lawrence Pickups upside down if you didnt know already. I found an a interview article where he talks about how he always flipped them to get more attack on the low end strings.
I have one of these, bought it a long time ago on eBay, looked like someone was unloading them for some reason. Years later right after dime passed someone unloaded a bunch of signed cheaper Trendkills on eBay. If I remember correctly, they didnt have a tremolo at all but were selling for more than I paid for my alien back.
Tip for doing the traction knobs put the knob on a old pot out of a guitar so you can spin it as you go. Keeps it even makes for a more aesthetically appealing look easier to get equal spacing between the holes put in with the soldering iorn
Just got a dimebag 332 from a buddy that was redoing everything on it. Long story short he basically lost all the electronics. I’m very new to doing this kind of stuff and was wandering if you knew the best pots and everything I’d need, also going to put Duncan dimes in it. Appreciate any help!

How did you get to play it?
Yeha you can really see in the pics at 0:12 how rough the paint looks.
Man, I'd kill for a Trendkill guitar. So sick.
Great guitar if you can find one!
I got one if you’re interested with the alien back
@@jedhershberger3483 I’m interested

Do you have the same one with the alien back or without? Some are also made in China whereas this is made in Korea.

I own one of these 333 (blackjack) and I absoltely love the stock floyd rose on it, which is a licensed Washburn, too
Nice! Would you ever put stickers on it like dime did?
@@EricMorettin I sure did some, and will do more if I find something that I feel like I want to have it on ;)
I appreciate your love for Pantera. Love seeing you young guys keeping it alive.
This guitar is dream guitar.

For a production, they are very special! Especially the alien back models.
nice guitar great video! i would love to know what you used there for cleaning the Floyd and the hardware.
Man… That’s a sick guitar!
Cheers! Plays as great as it looks 🤘
Mannnn I remember seeing these in the sam ash catalog, Soo sick!!
Sick guitar my guy
Thank you 🤘
Yo, are you selling this at the moment?

Great video. I'm lucky enough to own one of the alien backs .I've heard maybe as little as 20 or 25 of these are floating around.
Nice! I can't remember if I stated how many alien backs were produced but I know it's at least under 100
got a washburn stealth but not been able to find that trendkill.

Yes I knew that and covered it on my channel in another video as well! Feel free to check it
I had the Dean ML with the Dimebucker and 59' in the neck , but your's is legit. That's a sick guitar , don't sell it bro.✌️🤘

Hey E, can you tell me about any dime chat rooms or a community chat that I can get plugged into too? Thx man
There are a few on Facebook. If you search Dimebag you'll get most of them!
How did you get your IR´s? great videos man :)
Just stock! I mess with the mic placement on the cab section in Neural DSP and that's it. Thank you!

The Seymour Duncan Dimebag set is a great starting point for pickups. Seymour Duncan also has volume and tone pots as well which are high quality
@@EricMorettin thanks bro, you’re a lifesaver. Been trying to get a straight forward answer for weeks now. Much appreciated brother, Rock On!
@@coreyduncan1098 you're welcome! I have soldering tips and tutorials on my channel as well for people just getting started there
Have you considered a Duncan Jupiter? (West Hauch Sig)
Yeah they're great. I have a set in my LSL XT4DX
you dont use the dime strings???i like them fair price
Nope, string source strings are my preferred brand.
Great stuff as alway. Thanks for helping me pick my locking tuners for my 7 string lol
Thank you and you're welcome!
Looks nice like it to
Awesome!
Thanks 🤘
looks great, sounds not so great, if it was not so rare and dimebag sig, wouldn't pay more than 600$ for it
I got a 95 dime 333 the lightning one how do i tell were it was made
Back of the headstock will have the serial number. If the starting letter is S, that means it was made in the Samick factory which is in South Korea.
@EricMorettin ok it starts with G and ends with 95 is this good news lol thanks for the response
@@rockman49er email me a picture through my link tree so I can see and verify
@@EricMorettin ok as soon as I figure out how
@@rockman49er If it starts with a G that might be from a different country. I believe that's China, India, or Indonesia made, which is still good.
