Metal guitar master Dimebag Darrell partnered with Dean guitars before his unfortunate death to design the ultimate metal guitar. This instrument, known as the Razorback, is as deadly sounding as it is deadly looking. The jagged design makes it clear that this is no old-fashioned instrument!
Dean makes several Razorback guitars to appeal to a wide variety of different budgets. The features and construction of the guitars dictate the cost. Our current review model, the Razorback DB, is perhaps a more budget-oriented instrument, but don't mistake inexpensive with cheap.
The Razorback DB that we explored came in "Classic Black," but you can also get the axe in Metallic White if you want. It has a rosewood fretboard with a fitting razor inlay at the 12th fret and a mahogany body. The Razorback DB also includes Grover tuners, Dean-designed pickups, and a tune-o-matic style bridge.
Regarding the instrument's action, the Razorback DB has low action without much buzzing at all, once we tweaked the bridge and neck slightly. The guitar lends itself to super-fast fretwork. Dimebag would be proud!
The sounds we got from the Razorback DB were very well-suited for metal and shred guitar, great lows and cutting highs. The humbuckers designed by Dean are quite good and won't have you rushing for replacements just yet. It's not the most versatile guitar on the block, though.
That's not really a slam because one look at this guitar, and you know it's not mean to play "How High the Moon." It's a one-trick pony, but that's to be expected. It's quite a good pony, though!
If we have any complaints, it's that the included case doesn't look like it would stand up to heavy usage. The guitar is also pretty dang big, so it's not a guitar you're going to play around the house casually.
However, for the price, it's a pretty serious metal machine and highly recommended for metal and shred guitarists on a budget. - 32370
