Dean ML "Dean From Hell"
Dean · electric guitar
The Dean ML Dean From Hell is a solid-body electric guitar designed around Dimebag Darrell's specifications for high-output metal and hard rock applications. Featuring a mahogany body with set mahogany neck, rosewood fretboard with 22 jumbo frets, and 24.75 inch scale length, the Dean From Hell pairs traditional shred-friendly proportions with extreme performance hardware. The V-shaped headstock and distinctive asymmetrical body contours provide visual aggression. Bridge pickups vary by era: vintage examples feature Bill Lawrence L-500XL units, while modern versions specify Seymour Duncan SH13 Dimebucker humbuckers. The licensed Floyd Rose Special tremolo with locking nut enables extreme pitch manipulation and tuning stability for dive bombs and pinch harmonics.
