Up for sale is a rare 2009 Dean Buddy Blaze Signature ML in excellent condition. This guitar is a collaboration between Dean and legendary luthier Buddy Blaze, the man who famously painted and modified Dimebag Darrell's original "Dean From Hell". This limited-run instrument (only 300 produced) was built to Buddy’s exacting custom specifications, combining a uniquely thin 1.5" mahogany body with a high-pitched neck for massive sustain and playability.The guitar features the hallmark Blaze layout, including a middle pickup position moved forward to eliminate "neck mud" and a top-mounted Original Floyd Rose bridge for maximum upward pull—exactly like Dimebag's. This instrument is not just a metal machine; it is a piece of rock history.Key Technical Specifications:

  • Body & Top: Solid Mahogany (1.5" thickness)
  • Neck: Set Mahogany with Dean’s comfortable V-carve and a 3-degree pitch
  • Fretboard: 24-fret Rosewood (two full octaves) with custom Mother-of-Pearl "Ascending Flame" inlays
  • Pickups: USA Dean DMT "Blaze Bucker" (Bridge) and Dean DMT "Nostalgia" or "Baker Act" (Middle)
  • Bridge: Top-Mounted Original Floyd Rose Tremolo System
  • Tuners: Grover Tuning Machines
  • Controls: Simple 3-way toggle and single Master Volume knob

Collector's Note:
This guitar has been well-maintained in excellent condition and comes with the original Dean hardshell case. Finding these in such clean condition is becoming increasingly difficult as they have gained "Wall Queen" status for many collectors. Please message me because this guitar means a lot to me and I want someone to have it that appreciates the true meaning behind this guitar and has the passion to maintain its glory!

And here is something I bet a lot of you may have not known regarding the note “MJW-5150” on the COA-


The Meaning of "MJW"The letters MJW stand for Matthew James Webster. He was the only child of the legendary guitar luthier Buddy Blaze Webster and his wife, Joyce. Tragically, Matt passed away in March 2009 at the age of 31. [1, 2]Because Matt often helped his father construct and "hot-rod" guitars, Buddy and Joyce vowed to honor his memory by embedding his initials on their builds. All subsequent authentic Buddy Blaze guitars and official collaboration COAs feature "MJW" as a permanent memorial tribute. The Meaning of "5150"The number 5150 is a dual-layered guitar history reference: 

  • The Custom Shop Code: It represents the build number or specific custom-run designation associated with Buddy Blaze's workshop layout.
  • The EVH Connection: 5150 is iconic in the guitar world, famously representing Eddie Van Halen's personal recording studio, his signature Peavey/EVH amplifierw lines, and the California legal code for "crazy" or "wild". Given that Buddy Blaze built high-performance, hot-rodded shred machines, the use of 5150 is a direct nod to that classic high-gain, heavy-metal heritage
