Dean Razorback V Standard – NOS

Description

Black or Candy Apple Red, (front/back), (headstock/V neck profile). Personally designed by the late, great Dimebag Darrell in 2004 before his untimely passing. By this year Dimebag had returned to Dean and had begun work on several signature models with this Razorback V being one of his final contributions. It cuts a figure much like the time-tested Flying V, only more dangerous looking with a few more jagged edges and actually more comfortable with the addition to sleek body bevels. The Razorback V features a mahogany neck and body, a rosewood fretboard with a super flat 16″ radius, and a very comfortably contoured neck heel (shown here) which allows very easy access to the upper frets. Pickups are a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker pickup at the bridge with a Dean humbucker in the neck with the edges taped down, Dimebag style. The neck is a radical departure from rock/metal axes, traditionally outfitted with a very thin profile. The neck on this model is quite substantial, with a rounded-V profile that feels a lot like a ’56 Strat. Quality hardware with Grover tuners and a recessed, double-locking licensed Floyd Rose tremolo (pickups/trem) keeps it in tune perfectly. Controls are straight ahead 3-way selector with master tone and volume, with easy grip circles on the volume. With a list of $1550, these were selling for $999 but I have a few in stock, never retailed, first quality, and perfect, for 55% off list, $697. With a pro in-house setup, these guitars are an incredible value for the money. Includes Dean hardshell case and comes in gloss black finish or Candy Apple Red metallic.
