This is a 2008 Dean Far Beyond Driven Dimebag Darrell Tribute ML, made in Korea during the highly respected WMI era — widely considered some of the best import Dean Dime models ever produced.
Finished in the iconic Far Beyond Driven burst, this guitar captures the aggressive Pantera-era look and feel Dimebag fans chase. It features the classic ML body shape, Grover tuners, and a powerful Seymour Duncan bridge pickup that delivers crushing lows, screaming harmonics, and the tight attack needed for serious metal tones.
One of the biggest upgrades on this guitar is the tremolo system — the stock bridge has been replaced with a German-made Original Floyd Rose, which is a major improvement in tuning stability, sustain, and overall feel compared to the factory hardware. Holds tune extremely well even under heavy dive bombs and aggressive playing.
This guitar has also been professionally set up with:
- Very low action for fast, effortless playing
- Tuned to Pantera/Dimebag 425Hz standard tuning, just like Dime used during many recordings and live performances
The setup makes this guitar feel incredibly smooth and aggressive at the same time — perfect for Pantera riffs, squeals, harmonics, and fast lead work.
The guitar does include the original back tremolo cavity plate, but it is currently removed because it interferes slightly with the upgraded Original Floyd Rose setup. The plate will be included with the sale.
Condition is very good overall for its age with normal cosmetic wear from use. Electronics function properly, frets are in solid shape, and it’s ready to plug in and play immediately.
