Dimebag Darrell - DimeTime

In 1990, a band named Pantera emerged from Dallas led by a guitarist named Dimebag Darrell who would shape the sound of metal forever. Dean Guitars spent countless hours with Dime’s original Deans used to record Cowboys From Hell and with Grady Champion, Dime's long-time guitar tech, to analyze the master’s tones. The result is the DIMETIME neck pickup - a pickup that will change YOUR sound forever!
