"Dimes Deans our the best damn axes there are. they dont get better then deans. R.I.P Dimebag Darrell"

this axe of Dimes is goddamn sexy of of his are.

There prices are high but its worth it if you got the cash, Dean are the best.

Dean is the best damn gitats makers there are, and Dime has the best models. If i had the miney i would buy this product. I would rely on the guitars not to break and i got a back up axe may not be the best but its got a killer sound. yeah playing on the road is good the more you shred the more you can shred on stage some day.

I would be satisfied with it for life. Any axe with Dimes name on would make my life better.

I play metal/hard rock. My current rig is a Kustom 200dfx head, behringer cab reloaded with Eminence Texas Heat drivers, running through a Digitech XP100 whammy/wah, Danelectro Coolcat chorus Behringer Hell Babe wah and the built in effects on the amp. This Axe Kills- Period! The artificial and natural harmonics jump right out effortlessly, and the distortion the dimebucker gets is second to none. No noise, buzzing or feedback. The combination of the dimebucker and the floyd really allows for some great sounding squeals and what not.

Made in Korea 2005. 22 frets, Mohagany body, set meck, Dual humbuckers with Dimebucker in Bridge, Grover Tuners, and Licensed Floyd Rose trem. Has the Dime o Flame custom finish. My only problem is that the brigde volume knob is bleow the neck volume knob, not a big deal, just a little annoying.

I purchased this guitar from Ed roman Guitars in Vegas. They went through and set it up for me, and I gotta say, This guitar stays in tune like nothing else I have ever owned. As far as manufacturing, the routing is great, very straight and the pickups and hard ware are all mounted properly, straight and tight.

Never Dealt with them, hope I never have to. 5 year warranty

An omen is a sign, and Schecter was right in naming this guitar the Omen. With its sleek carved top basswood body, 24-fret bolt-on Maple neck with a Rosewood fretboard, and two Diamond humbuckers, it’s sure to be a signal that great sound quality and beautiful design go hand-in-hand.

The pickups are a little higher output than many passive humbuckers. I've raised the bridge pickup close to the strings for a higher output, and it sounds fine there. The clean is very bright using the bridge pickup, and very balanced/rich using the neck pickup.

It's not a Les Paul or an ES-335, and I can't say that it sounds as good as either of those… but seeing as how it doesn't break your back like a Les Paul (and it's cheaper!) and is much better for shredding (not to mention cheaper!) than a hollowbody, the sound is a compromise but pretty good.

-24 frets

-Solid bridge/string through body

-Thin/medium neck

-Passive factory H/H

-1 tone (treble?) pot, 1 volume pot, neck/both/bridge pickup selector

-Laminated wood (not paint)

-Made in Korea (no idea when)

-No name/stock Schecter tuners

It could have high end tuners, pickups, etc, a "fancier" bridge, or all sorts of stuff, but it's a complete, solid guitar.

I got this used and judging by the fact that the annoyingly delicate paint on the screw heads hadn't been disturbed– and the screws got pretty ugly looking the moment I got anywhere near them with a screwdriver– it had been set up by the factory and not touched since then. The factory did a terrible job. I've seen worse, but the action was quite a bit higher than it needed to be and the neck wasn't quite straight. It wasn't unplayable but it seems like nobody took the time to really set it up properly at the factory.

Nothing's wrong with it, and it was intonated correctly and all that good stuff… it's just the factory setup wasn't great, and fixing it made the guitar tons better to play.

With 20 minutes of maintenance it plays great, so it gets a 7 here.

Never dealt with them

Like I said before the sound is very good even with the stock pickups. Matter fact I probably wont even worry about ever buying any add on pickups. Just get yourself a good effects setup and you should be set.

Well just bought a Omen-6 from Guitar Center and have been playing around with it over the past few hours. It is the Walnut finish version made in Korea. I haven't noticed any finish problems or blemishes with it like I some people have mentioned on the review page. So far I am very impressed with it. I have been playing for a long time and I have owned at least 8 or 9 guitars over the years and I would have to say that this is the finest playing guitar I have ever owned and it is a fraction of the price of many of my previous guitars. I also picked up a Digitech effects system and the two combined together really produces some great sounds. Using both pickups and and a non distortion setting it gets a very nice acoustic sound. Hit the pedal and jump to a crunchin lead sound and it takes that on just fine too. The action is very good and the guitar just feels great in your hands. I am very impressed.

The finish looks great and heck the guitar just looks very good. No complaints.

I play blues, jazz and rock. While I used to have this set up for blues(in my BB King clone days)my current setup is with 12-52 strings with lower action for jazz.

Of all my instruments, this guitar sounds most different with various strings, pickup heights and amp selections. Even pick selection is critical. It's also one of the few guitars I own where I actually use the guitar's tone control (instead of the amp). Unlike most instruments, you can hear and feel the interaction of the pickups with the wood.

1963, purchased in 1974. You know the features. This one is a bar marker with trapeze tailpiece instead of the more valuable dot marker and stop tailpiece. Purchased from "We Buy Guitars" (Stuyvessant Music) when they were on 48th Street in NYC. Original owner had removed pickup covers and pickguard — I never bothered to replace them as this suits my style (like to get my fingers in there). Had it refretted and replaced the tone knobs with replicas after the originals fell apart,and recently replaced the bridge; otherwise all original.

Features: Two great pickups and a spectacular neck attached to a body that is a total tone machine. Tone ocntrols that actually control tone. And if you can't get great tone out of a 335 you need to fire your teacher and/or take more lessons.

This is a fantastic instrument. I just recently took Dan Erlewine's advice (from his book) and removed 40+ years worth of old wax with Maguire's #9 swirl remover. Holy moley! The finish is stunning, and I don't think I ever appreciated much it before.

I recently retired the original tune-o-matic bridge for a Tone Pros replacement. The original got kind of funky and hard to adjust.

Never dealt with them. If you own one of these, you owe it to yourself to find the best guitar tech you can. I own more than a dozen guitars and this is the one where setup is most critical.

For the kind of music i have been playing over the years this ES 335 suits my playing at a 10.

I use a Reisue Delux Blues Amp 40 wt tube and it is a great match.

The guitar and amp is the best match I can find at this time and just can't say anymore how good both are.

All around GREAT SOUND*******

Need more info about this ES 335 can go to Sweetwater.com

I am not sure if the factory did the set up or Sweetwater Music did the set up but right out of the box was great, no rought frets that gibson is known for.

This Roy ES 335 was checked over VERY GOOD and I could not see any flaws and too it out in the sunlight also and check it over and did not see any flaws.

The Warranty is a Gold Warrenty what ever that means, I don't NO what Life Time Limited Warrenty Means Yet.

DO NOT E-MAIL GIBSON, YOU WILL NOT GET A ANSWER FROM THEM, you need to call.

Featuring an ultra thin, two-horned body, the SG Series addressed two of what Ted McCarty saw as the major issues of the now-retired Les Paul body style: weight and limited access to the upper treble register. The new body shape of the SG Standard was dramatically lighter than the old Les Paul, and offered access to the entire fretboard. Now part of Gibson’s proprietary new Vintage Original Spec series — the next step in their journey toward perfection.

Traded in a Fender 1960 Relic Strat ( G&L guy) for the 2 puckup version…even up!

As years pass I switched over to blues. Don't mind some free punk jazz.

IMO the guitar has a very rich and somewhat "distant" sound compared to the sound produced by my modest LP Faded armed with Probuckers Pro.

Nashville, 2001. Specifications as described in the previous review. Thanks for taking a trouble!

Mine is mahogany, all hardware is gold plated.

More exciting is that one of those twenty five Explorers'58 historical reissue (expected to be sold in Japan, as we know) happened to be purchased by me in Kiev, Ukraine in 2006. (+ the huge vintage-type case).

As far as I know two guitars of this breed were available for sale in Kiev, Ukraine, via a Russian guitar shop.

Just perfect.

I got replies by e-mail from Gibson Co and Gibson Europe containing the detailed info I requested the very next day.

I am sure the guitar will not need any repair in the future.

An ultra-fine layer of D’Addario’s exclusive EXP Coating is bonded to the 80/20 Bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire, resulting in a built-in barrier against corrosion and wear. Strings retain their inherent extra-bright tone and natural feel, yet last 3-4 times longer than traditional strings. These are D’Addario’s brightest-sounding extended play strings.

"Perfect Strings"

These strings will not easily rust, they never show dirt or grime and never flake.

The strings are a bit pricey, BUT you must realize that they pay for themselves around the 1st month you've had them. Because you don't have to change the strings, you're saving money.

The quality of the strings are extreemly high, as I stated before they have never slipped on me after first tuning. A capo will not cause need for re-tuning on these strings and they're very easy to put on your guitar, clearly labled and packaged.

I feel confident in using these strings on ANY of my future guitars, and they do make me have a bit more faith in the company.

Lovely tone. Deep bass, mids are clear and seperation is great, highs are sparkly without being too sharp. Dig in and it responds beautifully, especially with a flat pick. It projects well and is is very loud – deceptive for this slim body style. Altogether, this is the perfect tonal package as far as I'm concerned.

A functionally-appointed guitar with Indian rosewood back and sides, Adirondack (Red spruce) top and Ebony bridge/fingerboard. The Adirondack top is the twist to the tale, this type of spruce top was used mainly pre WWII and if you want a new guitar with that vintage pre-war sound and don't want to go to a custom shop, then take a look at this model – it's simply brilliant.

Action was set up really well, no buzzing, no cosmetic flaws, just great Martin build quality and craftsmanship.

Marquis

I have used many types of strings from elixers to Dean Markley's and everything in between but you cannot find a better sounding string than the Martin Marquis. I use them on an 82 Yamaha FG180 and when I first play with strangers in a jam session (playing Martin Guitars) they ask me "damn what kind/brand of guitar is that"? I tell them "it's the strings" although the guitar is not a high end instrument it is a good guitar. The marquis really set it off. Most of the time the strings hold up but here lately i have had some durability and tuning problems (not staying tuned). Do they sell lower end or reproduction marquis that i am not aware of. Anyway these are good strings man.
