Members curseoftruth Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Okay, I know, conferderate flag and all that shit, yada, yada, yada. Beat to death and I understand history. But this is one bad ass, hot looking guitar. I want one! And I don't even like pointy guitars! http://www.deanguitars.com/dean_winter_06/dixie_rebel.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kevman Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 You could drive it to your gigs in an old Dodge with the doors welded shut and no windows! Don't mind the paint. Just not a big fan of the body style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Utero Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 I like it, but I havn't heard good things about imported Deans. I want to play one bad. Looks like it will be in the 700-900 dollar price range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Splendor Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Seems like a decent guitar, but there's no way I'd play it. Same reason I don't wear pajamas made out of sheets; even though they're probably really comfortable. Disclaimer: I'm not trying to be an ass. I know you already understand the implications of the graphic on the guitar. I'm just stating my reason for not diggin' it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zen Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Down Under nobody would really care cause they've proabably naver seen a Confederate flag. I'm not a fan of any of Dime's guitars (this is probably a tribute series to him, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeleFromHelly Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 I also wouldn't own one because of that whole slavery thing, but yea that looks pretty sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members choklitlove Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 i'm imagining a dean duct taped to the back of a blue beater pickup truck blaring skynard. yeah slavery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Edward Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Over this side of the pond, especially back in Northern Ireland, the confederate flag is something that for the most part is waved around by middle-aged, middle-class women who think it's clever and exotic to go line dancing. Seriously. Not something I'd go a bundle on paint wise, nor on the shape - i hate pointy guitars. Funny thing is though I've taken the notion for one of the Dean Baby MLs(? the one that's something this shape) to set up to learn slide on....

Members peavey_impact Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 I think it's awesome; but have you guys seen that $3500 Dean Dime Razorback with the rusted metal finish? That is probably the baddest Dime model I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Danny G Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Seems like it should be sitting in the yard up on blocks, or jumping obstacles on dirt roads with Waylon Jennings commentary edit: Peavey Impact, I have those same tie-dye bed sheets!

Members cloudnine Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 I dont care about the paintjob so much (though it's {censored}ing stupid), it's more the exploitation of a dead guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mr footinmouth Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Exploitation or not, as a Dimebag fan, I would love to get one of those, or one of the standard ML series (with another paint job of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SGavin Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 Dime had drawn out designs for Dean Dime guitars before his death... Dean is just doing what he was planning on doing. Also, there is a market for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a symbol of racism, its just the confederate flag. Obviously there was slavery and all that going on in the confederate states but still the flag is no sign of racism. There is that association which causes people to think negatively of it.A picture of a black man on a noose painted on the front of a guitar would be a symbol of racism.

It's a symbol of traitors and slavers. What association could you possibly draw from a Confederate flag other than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members peavey_impact Posted January 31, 2006 Members Share Posted January 31, 2006 I shouldnt have even replied in the first place, but the association of the Confederate Flag in today's culture is about a sense of rebellion. Just like the south rebelled against the north. Yes it was for BS reasons but still some people just dig too deep rather than seeing something plainly for what it is.
