DOA 2006
The annual Dean Owners of America Club (affectionately know as the "DOA") celebration was held this past Friday, Feb 24th 2006 in Clearwater, Florida! Die Hard members came from all over the globe to sunny Florida to see what is now the most anticipated and biggest industry party ever given. The general consensus was, "NOBODY DOES THIS!!!", and man are they right! Nobody rolls out the red carpet like Dean Guitars!
Read on for highlights from DOA 2006...

|
Dean Guitar Maestro and USA Custom Shop honcho Pat Baker started off the night with crowd pleasing rock hits. |
|
This was a guitar ice sculpture at one of the orderve tables. Serious time and consideration is put in to this gang. The food and atmosphere was top notch as well as the service. Nothing but the best for the DOA members! |
|
Jon Puhl & Mick Donner both of Dean Guitars, laid down the law with some monster blues tracks. Time stopped for a bit to watch this killer trio play. A rare treat indeed! |
|
DOA members had a fever, and the cure was "MORE COWBELL!" according to DOA Alum Ian Brown. |
|
DOA Alum Joe Jackson and Co. belt out an homage of "Walk" in honor of Dimebag Darrell. |
|
The red carpet was provided the next day as members spent a fever-pitched day at the Dean World HQ in sunny Tampa, Florida. You have to be here to appreciate the sheer magnitude of the Dean Guitars movement. It's truly awe-inspiring from the "World's Finest Guitar Company". |

Curator Curse Mackey provided a brief of the Six-String Masterpieces on display at this year's DOA. Folks were just speechless and heartfelt at the tribute made to Rock's Greatest Hero. For more info about the Six-String Masterpieces coming to town near you, please visit...

Dimebag Darrell's setlist on his amp from the Damageplan Tour. Dime's full rig was there for all to see. |

DOA members get feedback in the Dean USA Custom Shop. Just a glimpse into the magic of where it all happens. |

Michael Angelo Batio provides an up-close and personal guitar clinic demonstrating his rapid -fire and soulful technique that Tom Morrello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave) and Dimebag Darrell, to name a couple, both studied. See Michael on Tour and learn from the master himself. |

Thousands and thousands of Dean Owners agree... Nothing even comes close! See you next year DOA!!! |
