First off, the shape of the Dean ML, especially a well made one such as this one (made in south Korea, but very close to the quality of made in usa), is very well balanced, like most flying v shaped guitars. It has no neck drop, and sits comfortably standing up or sitting down. A good quality strap helps as well. As for sound, the Seymour Duncan Dimebucker is a very hot and high gain pickup. It's voicing is definitely more treble based along with slightly scooped mids, which very much fits Dimebags tone. However, along with some EQ tweaking, it can easily pull off some less gainy tones, such as classic and hard rock. Cleans are decent, and the pickup voicing by itself is alright for pulling off some blues licks, but definitely don't expect to pull off fender cleans. Now the USA dimetime neck pickup also has a slightly scooped mid sound with a bit more bass than say a Seymour Duncan 59 or Jazz in the neck. With gain and distortion it has a very smooth and buttery sound that is well rounded. As for cleans, it can easily do blues and jazz tones if you play around with the volume and tone knobs along with your amps EQ settings. Aside from these unique tonalities, this guitar is mainly a metal machine that can pull off some cleaner tones if eq'd properly. Also, these pickups are in a mahogany bodied guitar so tone may vary in different woods. Lastly, the v shaped neck is actually quite fast and allows for easy upper fret access. It isn't exactly a thinner ibanez wizard speed neck, and it isn't exactly a thicker gibson les Paul neck either. It is somewhere between the two neck profiles and has enough chunk of wood to provide a very full dynamic sound range. All in all, if you are a Dime fan, then I can easily recommend this awesome guitar.Read full review

The Dean Stealth FM Dime Slime model is a combination of beauty and total DOMINATION!! This guitar is well built, plays great, and sounds BRUTAL!! Great neck with great playability. Very comfy to hold whether sitting or standing. Great clean tones and of course add a ton of gain and it's perfect for any fan of dimebag's style of both looks and playing. This is a metal machine!! I've been playing for 20 years and have had a ton of different types of ML-79's and other styles of Dean and Washburn Guitars. This one can stand on its own, up against any of them.

What can I say that hasn't been said about this guitar. Sounds great and plays even better. I took it out the box and was still in tune!. On the down side, for the price could have some better finishes.
