I far exceeded my expectations so I made sure to share a picture of it in a facebook Dimebag group and I was able to answer a lot of people’s questions about it that might be more hesitant on the purchase due to price or quality. I loved everything about it. Hopefully in the future I can afford to buy the snakeskin USA model 🤘

I'm very pleased with the 2 guitars that I purchased.

I have been patiently waiting for this to arrive. I ordered on preorder launch day. And I’m glad to say this definitely delivered in every way. I’m most likely to order another standard version. Well done dimenguitarz,

I received my Dime Bolt yesterday. This is the best guitar that I have played in a long time. The paint job is outstanding it was packaged perfectly, and the snake skin case is phenomenal.. The string action is perfect. A word of advice is to get one of these guitars before you’re not able to get one at all. A shout out to Dean Zelenskyy and Rita for making this possible. Dime bag was my favorite guitarist of all time and I’m so glad I got to meet him back in the 90s. He gave me a guitar pic and it’s framed on my wall. Dime and Vinny were two great guys that loved the fans and I was fortunate enough to meet them both at the Aragon ballroom in Chicago. I’m so excited I can’t even sleep.

After having this guitar for a few weeks and playing it extensively, I'll start by saying this guitar is fantastic and is becoming my favorite in my collection. Not only does it play really well, but it looks awesome too. The craftsmanship and the dime slime finish are top notch, I really cant say enough about it, from the lines and contours and the headstock.. the washburn stealth style headstock really completes the look of the guitar.
My only "gripes" so to speak are the input Jack location which can interfere in a sitting position if using a straight cable, but honestly its no issue with a right angle cable. The other is having 22 frets vs 24 frets, but this really isnt a game breaker, just a small preference.
I can only imagine what the USA ones are like.. I might have to invest in one one day. Also seeing the sneak peeks of the stealth and razorback shapes has really got me excited for the future of DGZ.
Anyways great work in keeping the Dime legacy going, Getcha Pull!

The build is incredible as was the setup, finish is perfect and it plays like a dream. Metal back plates is a very nice addition as are the split coils and the db booster. Mine weighed in at 9lbs even. This guitar definitely punches above it's weight class and the neck carve feels perfect 🤘🤘

out of all the expensive guitars i own this surprisingly genuinely plays better than my other main guitar and this feels so smooth when i play and it plays like butter and sounds absolutely amazing the gain is perfect and the coil splits and db booster add so much more style to it and different sounds and definitely one of the best guitars ive ever played and i own 6 other guitars. 5 starts DGZ keep up the good work GETCHA PULL!🔥🤘🎸

It was great the only issue is they didn’t completely route one of the tension screws on the Floyd claw but it was an easy fix.
