Dime Busts Out The Southern Cross
(Press Release | Posted 2003-01-02)
It's no secret that that the infamous Dimebag Darrell is considered by many to be the top Metal guitarist in the world. Dime's tone has been the discussion topic of the day for years now. His tone, his look, his style is a major influence in the world of Hard Rock music. It gives Washburn Guitars and Dime great pleasure to let the legions of Metal fans know that the long awaited Southern Cross Limited Edition Guitar is now available. There will be 100 of these incredible guitars made available to the public with the first going to you know who, himself. The Southern Cross is a replica of the one that Dime used on the monumental Black Sabbath Tour, which tore down more than one house in the year that the monsters of metal destroyed the world.
We start with the traditional Dime 3 body style. The guitar body is built of the finest Brazilian Mahogany with an AAA Curly Maple top. The pieces are hand selected to be able to be finished in a clear lacquer, revealing the natural beauty of the woods. Inlaid in the lower treble bout is a Madagascar Ebony Maltese Cross inlaid with triangles of Paua Abalone on each tip. It matches the ebony fingerboard, which is inlaid with Maltese Cross abalone inlays. The neck shape is that soft fluid "V" that you love to feel. The Brazilian mahogany is the finest available and the Grover 18 to 1 tuners are a dream to use. It is complete with Floyd Rose bridge and locking nut for dive-bombing runs that don't mess with your intonation. A Southern Cross pendant will come with every guitar. It is a smaller version of the same Maltese Cross, which is inlaid in the body using the same materials. It comes with a 30" heavy antique silver chain and is boxed in black velvet. Every Limited Edition guitar will come in its own special case with a unique certificate of authenticity signed by Dime.
Dime will be holding court at booth #5244 at the Anaheim NAMM show. Come by and meet and greet.
