but in reality, that's the nature of a set neck on the explorer/ml body style.there just isn't much wood above or below the neck for strength.Īnd leads me to actual BEST answer to your question. my repair dude cracked the custom paint on one of my favorites just tightening down the floyd claw with it face down in a guitar workstation. The deans will also develop cracks in the neck joint paint if not handled with at least some care. not my slime, as it is a 3rd gen (larger volute, buzz fienton,etc). all of darrell's are jacked (ask juggernaut). not structural, but try telling someone else that. The first generation usa washburn dimes (flatter volute, razorblade serial number, no buzz fienton) had real issues developing cracks in the clear coat at the neck joint. If you want that slime color washburn did, don't expect to get it anywhere else than on a usa washburn. Washburn flame tops are hit and miss.mostly miss. in fact, you can actually provide your own top and they will put it on your guitar. The flame,quilt,spalted,redwood, whatever. (if you can avoid the neck joint issues set necks have). they are worth less than half you paid for it before the guitar is even built.Ī $3000 washburn southern cross will always be worth $3000. Usa washburns are all fairly rare, and your stuck with what was built since they won't build anything new in that body style. I have 5 custom usa dean mlf's they built to my specs, and several usa razorbacks including the last rust and one of the original 7 prototypes they rushed to get finished for namm a month after darrell died.Īll of them kick-ass, but i am a bit prejudiced since i love the body style so much.ĭean usa custom shop stuff is awesome because you can make insane demands, and they will try to build them for you. i also have the only quilt top southern cross washburn ever built as a prototype. I have some usa dimebag washburns, a slime and a dimebolt.
