DEAN GUITARS HAVE GONE TOO FAR... (draft)
Pure 💩housery from Dean Guitars lmao... Let's talk about it and thanks to Ridge for bringing you today's video! Visit www.ridge.com/agufish to streamline your life and get up to 30% off through April 1st 🤘
Those discontinued and 2024 sample pics even have the same tops, same veneer, grain, drawing, whatever one might call it, you get what I mean 😂
Those are maple tops with flame veneer. Real maple 🍁 not photoflame@@TimmyDarkness😂
As a Dean player, they’re continual choice of literally Not Giving A Fuck cracks my shit up
Total punk
their
@@Superjet113 thank you so much for sharing your continual grammar skills with the rest of us mediocre readers. It really means a lot to me and the rest of this community who definitely deserve better grammar. If only iPhone proofreaded sentences as you did my novel would be a lot less confusing.
@@matthewcoleperry3485 You're welcome, glad I could help.
@@matthewcoleperry3485*proofread (red)
I have to admit that I'm a Gibson nerd. But... If you want an Explorer without any neck dive, get yourself a Dean.
Surprising since their headstocks are so ginormous lol
How can such a big and heavy body have neck dive lol
@@kelvinklauckbecause mahogany is a lighter wood, so the design of the guitar allows for dive.
Finally someone with the balls to do a proper Explorer shape without putting kinks in the shape to avoid copyright problems with Gibson
There’s tons of companies who rip off Gibson and other brands all the time!
@@pacovl46 By 'tons' you mean the tons of chinese companies that sell electric guitars on Amazon
Its reminiscent but It isnt the proper Explorer shape, its better than jackson's or schecter's though
@@monkeyrater them, too. But how many “proper” brands sells an LP, V or Explorer shaped guitar? Just because they make the corners sharper and slap on a different headstock doesn’t make it a “new” design in my book. It’s just a variation of the original.
Theres the chapman
I have a 72 Challenger story. I bought my first car in 79 when I was 18. I had this car for a month when it was stolen at a Van Halen concert. Insurance paid more than double for it and bought a red 72 challenger in new condition for $1100. Wish I still had that car
And gas was about .85 a gallon,that’s all either was worth then lmao
Bro that sponsor tie in was smoooooth lol
Saw it coming a mile off!
okay, wait a second, that Challenger car project deserves an extra video!
I know this is a guitar related channel, but come on!
Honestly new Dean kinda reminds me of a USA solar. I don’t hate what they’ve done. The dimebag lightning ML will be missed tho
I love the classic-looking Zero and V thing.
I have an amazing Dean Elite and a Dean Cadillac Deluxe & they crush!
I don't care about how people cry over the colors of the ML stuff. Those people can cry about it somewhere else & it doesn't effect them wasting time in music store and not actually buying one.
Don't several of these new models still infringe on Gibson's trademarks? Not that I ever cared about it... but they don't need to be sued again!
Gibson has become the spoiled brat of guitar brands
Nobody cried when Dime took the ML over to washburn and ripped it off. I see people crying over the ML, they invented it. Dime didn't. Love Dime, but it's Dean's property.
The Washburn Dime 333 was slightly different. The headstock was bigger and more pointy. The horn at the bottom was a little skinnier. And a few other things. It's hard to tell until you put them Next to each other. That and Dean went out of business. That's why Dime went to Washburn. Almost all the guitar makers built a style of guitar like that for him to get his endorsement. But again Washburn built it closest to what Dime approved of.
@@worldssickestmedia2713That's true, and also i'm not sure if Dean has that ML trademarked either way now that I reconsider (in business or not, if they have it trademarked it would be their property though). Either way, i see nothing wrong with what Dean is doing. The Dime washburn is the one i'd rather own, but it's a ripoff of the ML. Hey maybe Dean will go belly up and a better company can start making ML's lol. Maybe Solar could buy the rights to it :)
It wasn't an ml get it right before you run your mouth the stealth was not like a ml
And actually zelinsky did fact check
The stealths look better than the ml imo being a little pointier it looks better.
Dean will always have a special place in my heart. The Dean ML is iconic!
I appreciate Hunter for getting my numbers reading game back up to speed with these subscription numbers xD
The Stealth was a Washburn, Dean stole it.
Reece Scruggs is a beast definitely check out Havok, big Megadeth/Death vibes
I absolutely love Dean guitars and hope we get a slime green Vengeance V at some point. Love the zero f***s given attitude.
The slime finish is so perfect for the ML shape.. I need one
look at those lovely locks😮
Always liked dean. Never owned one. But the way they got screwed by gibson play aufentik BS makes me like the response so much more.
If they had won the lawsuit and done this, I may have rolled my eyes, but in the context, more power to them.
I really love how kids pretend the hate gibson just because they can’t or won’t spend the money
@@Ottophil Oh son. I loved Gibson, I always really wanted one, until the play aufentik shit. I never found one that I felt was worth the money at my local stores and the huge quality control range they are notorious for lead to me never buying one online anytime in the last 20 years.
Now I never will. They are iconic alright, but being a bum hat company is enough to put me off.
I also won't listen to bumhole musicians like Arch Enemy, or anything Phil Anselmo has touched. I also won't ever buy a tesla because of Elon muskrat.
@@Ottophil I spend my money on a PRS Tremonti or ESP MIJ Eclipse, thank you very much.
I snagged a Dean Razorback Rust right as they were being sued for it. I'm glad to hear Dime's widow won her lawsuit and got a chunk of my money as she should. I'm not supporting them again after they tried to rip off Dime's widow.
We're they actually ever married??... I didn't think they were
I'm very happy to hear this. Just waiting for the left handers...
Maybe this will push Gibson into getting their shit together and making their guitars better and lower prices.
I found an Explorer better than a Gibson. Wild Custom Guitars (France) - Axe.
Stupid name, amazing guitars.
I highly recommend you search and check them out. I have two and would love to see them succeed, but most people get turned off by the name.
Lol!
Dean’s Custom Shop is putting out some of the cleanest stuff I’ve ever seen. Their wiring and fret work look flawless. Props to them!
A Mopar? You?? Well, I'll be damn. I have a new found respect for you kid lol. Right on! \m/
Dimebag also owns the 333 shape and culprit shape from Washburn!
The Dean that got away for me was a candy apple red ML with a cream white pick guard and a tuneomatic bridge... I was hoping for but missed pickguards again this year
Duuuuude. Flawless segway to sponsor pitch
That’s my gut 😂 around 13.20 holding the Dime stealth prototype 😂
I'm actually thoroughly impressed with the "We've already been through hell and back, what are you possibly gonna do to us" mood Dean is in. Love my Dean bass, would love to try one of their guitars, especially a Caddy Straight Six. Maybe if they're in this "Fuck you" mood, they'll bring back the Rising Sun ML like Matt Heafy used to play
The Dean Select range of guitars are killer! I have 3 of them, a ML 7 string, Thoroughbred Stealth w/EMG's, and V Fluence... amazing quality for the price. Always comfortable to play and look cool as fuck🤘
Dean fan for life!!!
that description of your '72 Challenger mod project is my absolute dream car. 70s Challengers are so frickin' powerful. my all-time favorite car.
Awesome video, agufish 😎🤘🏻🎸 I’ve always liked dean guitars and basses. I use to have dean edge basses and an ml bass at one point. My brother had a razorback guitar and we were given good compliments on our dean instruments(we did sorta went for a ZZ Top kind of thing where we had matching instruments). Other than that, these guitars looks radical. I would totally buy one of these guitars
Love those sig exiles. But I'd prefer that maple neck to either only have a 12th fret marker or nothing at all. They look a bit busy with the dots. Almost like budget guitars.
Forgot about the slime bumblebee Razorback rakes me back to being 16/17
I hope with dimebag no longer being part of dean, we can get a 24 fret dime ML. That V neck is so comfortable. Or a V neck switchblade. Dean always played good, but always had something on every guitar that ended up being a deal breaker. Usually no 24 frets or no floyd rose. Glad to see we finally have mustaine Vs with floyds
24 frets are overrated. Bend the note at 22.
Their blue quilt top ML with the kahler tremolo has 24 frets. It also has a v neck
I hope they make affordable X series models of the Vengeance and Zero because I used to own a Dean ZX in cherry mahogany I regret selling
I ordered an ML through reverb. I had to message the seller since it had been a couple days since I placed my order and hadn't heard anything back. Turns out the ML I ordered is on back order until and of august of 2024. I was hoping to get it within a couple days, it's gonna be a long wait😫
I always wanted a dime dean as a teen and now as an adult i can finally get my hands on that sweet precious slim dime model finally! ill be looking out for reviews in june when they release before i get one, im hyped but wont pre order.
As a British Chelsea FC supporter, finally in our banter era, I greatly appreciate that reference.
I love the natural v but 4k for a plank of wood with strings is just not in my future!
Im just happy i have one of the old dime slime ml's .
you the man hunter. your my go to guitar guy. keep it up lad
That ridge segue might have been your slickest plug I’ve ever seen you do broski 😂
My question regarding Dean Guitars is this-did Michael Schenker leave? There’s been a ton of speculation regarding Michael being seen with Gibson Flying V’s on his recent tours, but no word regarding his direct ties with either brand. Can you shed some light on this? Thanks in advance!🙏🏻🎸🎧
Gibson was just straight up silly for suing them. Those shapes are 100% public domain.
I love and miss dime and I wont stop loving his legendary guitar shape ... SHITTY what all went down but even if They are are not together anymore, no matter what when I play an ML, I'll think about dime weather his names on the guitar or not,
Dime's spirit lives on in every ML.
SMOOTH promotional insert there dude🤘🏼 haha. I have it and love it. I use the coin insert for guitar picks. Add that into your next promo and you’ll convince some people because I love having a good amount of pics in there
I love my Dean Evo, better than my 93 Lp standard in both tone and build, maybe I just got lucky 😎
As someone who started his guitar journey on Dean models, suck it Gibson, you couldn't stop them. "You can't kill the metal"
I believe that if someone wants a guitar shape, they should be allowed, nay, they have the RIGHT to get it from somewhere other than just 1 company. It's also interesting how guitar owners will only rag on cheap or struggling companies about their shapes, but not successful ones. Dean makes an LP, its a problem. ESP has the Eclipse (which looks more like the OG les paul than Dean's does, btw) and no one complains at all. Weird. And inconsistent.
I would like Dean to make the Rapsody bass in 8 and 12 string models again . I really don't like the Schecter Dug Pinnick model 😊
And a Hamer 12string bass are like ghosts from the past😢
If I were to buy a guitar it would be the Cadillac
NGL the Cadillac and Thoroughbred shapes are my kinda deal, too. Every guitar I own or have ever enjoyed playing has been either a Tele or LP style single cut or a super strat. I'm extremely old school, as well, with my guitar shapes. Also, as someone who has been to Nana's change purse in FL via the Baker Act, the name of that pickup made me LOL so hard. Big chungus CHAOS REIGNS energy FTW.
I’m really hoping this is a change for the better. I loved my Dean Dave Mustaine V, and I’m really interested in the new Zero. Hopefully Dean is on their way back up.
The Lozinak isn't out yet? Don't see anywhere selling them. The white one is awesome.
I have (and had) a couple of USA Dean guitars, which are awesome guitars. Long time fan here, still am. I saw them at NAMM, great to see them again! I'd love to see some more in the EU, though...
I have 2 Dime bag Deans, both have cracks where the neck joins the body.
Hey Hunter, can we talk about Adam from Royal Republic and his new Epiphone explorer that's 84 style?
I love their new lineup. I never paid much attention to Dean in the past but I recently tried and ended up buying the new Vengeance Evertune. It's the only guitar I've played that's on par with Jackson and I've played / owned all the big brands.
I’ve always had a soft spot for Dean guitars. And being in the uk, it seems increasingly harder to get them this side of the pond (or my personal experience) so it’s nice to see them dig there heels in and give a big middle finger to keep on doing what they are doing
That sponsor transison deserved my like and sub! Bravo!! Great vid i love ur stuff❤❤
Will still love Dean guitars for not giving a fuk.
I'm happy to see that Dean's new leadership is getting the brand back on track! It would be nice if they brought back the Custom 450 and 750 line of guitars back.
Looking forward for the new ML and Cadillac Select series
DEAN'S current attitude reminds me of that Jason Statham pic from the end of Crank 2 where he is on Fire and Giving the finger, what a way to live!
Think these’ll be on Thomann?
I thought I'd never really like dean after playing a buddies razorback, but I got an Exile and absolutely love it. Been a fan ever since
Can’t lie, I wasn’t really ever a fan of Dean guitars (nothing against them, they just never appealed to me) up until last year when I bought a neon pink Custom Zone.
Genuinely one of the best affordable guitars I’ve ever played. Swapped the pick ups out for an EMG in the bridge with a Sustainiac in the neck and managed to get a Floyd Rose 1000 in there too…
Now it’s my main guitar haha
That said, I LOVE their defiance era (zero f***s given stuff) and the attitude around it! I might just have to pick up a V from them at some point. I’m just worried about neck dive issues with the V shape
I had an MLX back in the day and it was feather-light, don't recall any neck dive issues. That model's basswood with a maple neck though. Maybe an all-mahogany one would be different?
What ever happened with B.C Rich Guitars? I am 100% positive that a few of these *shapes* are based off of their's. 🤔
Those Jon Donais signatures remind me of Schecter Banshee's first edition. And they are just perfect
I’ve had my Dime Slime on order for over 2 years and now the offer it without the Dime signature really this pisses me off. Looks like I will be selling it off no use to keep it since it’s not really special anymore.
Genuinely hate how smooth that sponsor segue was
Those Donais’ look COOL
Big brands abusing trademark law to get around court precedent in copyright law cases surrounding guitar design has to be the most pathetic move they could do, especially on designs they don't actually have any real claim to.
Musicman holding a vague trademark over the 4 top 2 bottom tuners on headstocks is an even worse example of this.
I remember being a kid and always wanting a dean z. I must get one soon
I have been a big supported of Dean but unfortunately I came across a sweet deal on a Les Paul Standard that I couldn't pass up. Sorry, Dean.
I love that new Kerry king shape, reminds me of the warlock day's.
Doing anything except a hellcat swap with that challenger is a war crime 😂
new kerry king model is fucking wild.
Jon Donais is an excellent guitarist. He still plays with Shadows Fall.
that red tibbet looks dope and the nile sig is sick
So glad i bought a far beyond driven ml, just before this latest lawsuit thing! Wishing Dean the best!
It’s funny That dean can’t make their original Z anymore and it’s cool that I was able to get one before they stopped
This episode is unfortunately Kitty Kat free.
I just got a Dean acoustic and I wanted to explore the Brand but... HOLY SHIT they have like NO Media or updates . They cant like Send out a Post or something a few times a Month .
Frankly, I think their new Kahler-equipped and multiscale models are awesome. Vengeance model is finally NOT Mustaine signature only (I'll be honest, other than for a few very nice exceptions like Terrance Hobbs BC Rich Warlock, I hate signature guitars), though I wish there was a Kahler version, too.
If they do a slime Cadillac omg, I’ll have to buy it
If you factored in name image and likeness these all reference dime
You could probably find lightning stickers for the dean from heck
Lets be honest. We all love Dean AND Pantera. but the one of the only reasons why Dean is still in business is that they sell the ML series (aka dimebags guitar)
I like the Dean Cadillac Signature called the Cadi-Kill of Rob Barrett of Cannibal Corpse.
Wasn't ready for a premier league reference, YNWA 💪
Did you ever finish the project guitars you showed us soooo long ago . It’s been so long I’ve even forget what they were ..snapped Gibson was one I think .
You should try to get a REAL "Dean" guitar. Dean B Zelinsky is still making guitars. I believe they are imports with fit and finish done by him in Chicago.
I can’t find any Dime dean guitars anymore…they are hard to find
idk I'm stoked to get a slime without the dime tax
THE AD INTEGRATION??
I love dean I have too MLs and a evo and they just feel better than my other vuitars
man, turn the light on!
I enjoy your videos and shorts i see on facebook but does everybody have to go too far? 😂
What about Zelinski guitars?
