I had a Dean ML Noir from back in the early 2000s. It was a bolt on. Overall, it was a very well made and solid axe. I decided to dime the shit out of mine. I bought 3 vintage Bill Lawrence XL500 bridge pickups. The original 1980-83 models. I put the Duncan 59 in the neck and the XL500 in the bridge. I put an original Floyd on there and higher quality 500k pots and a switchcraft toggle switch. I had the frets leveled and got a pro grade set up and it was on par with the actual Dime models except with a bolt on neck. Still have it and won't let it go. I had a Dime O Flame that had a Dimebucker. The crappy bridge and the neck pickup had to go. OFR and a real Duncan 59 replaced them. Everything else stayed factory. After a killer setup and fret job it was one of the best guitars I've ever had. Unfortunately, I got bit by my desire to own a double neck BC Rich Bitch and I made a straight across trade. This was one of the 2010s BC Richs and great quality all the way. I upgraded the hell out of it too, but miss my Dime O Flame.

Good vidieos man.

Must to say Locking bridge on this guitar called Ping Well, made in Taiwan. Quality of materials are equal to gotoh/ofr. Had chinese Razorback Shards with Dimebucker - No issues with trem staing in tune. Exception are only two things 1- trem pocket and arm was switched to push in style 2- Trem radius is 14'(gotoh 1996t too) , while finger board is 12'( ofr/schaller). I made shimes for 3-4 string to raise radius, and it was perfect action. Electronics - OK, could be worse. Tips for trems Always follow the radius of fretboard. If it conical(multi radius) - trem must be radiused for bigger radius of range or even flattet to follow conical concept. Use plumber tape for posts, the must be stiff. Gotoh have inside post crew to make it stiff. Level trem with the caliper, No angles Use springs with different tensions. They change tone, how fast/smooth trem works and overall tension. Just try it. And last thing, it is general - use strobe tuner for intonation atleast.

Kaish store makes some really good brass and steel blocks for the Floyd's.

@@randymiles904 Same goes for Iron Gear Pickups. They make all kinds of pickups that sound better than their imitation/their take on big brand versions at half the price or a lot less than half the price for their take/imitation (not designed to be an exact imitation) on those specific pickups they do amongst their own creations. They also create a lot of nifty more feature rich versions of their take on pickups with things like tapped single coils for Fender American Tele pickups that can with a switch or pot have their output doubled whilst retaining the same tone they were creating their own little spin on. Their version of a JB sounds amazing, all of their pickups (and I've a lot now, my most recent purchase being a 'their take on' pickup set of what is supposed to be like Fender Texas Specials and blows them out the water...and each individual pickup was something like £27 or you can buy the full set). Their high output metal pickup (and I'm talking more than active pickup kinda high output here) has that high output if you want it but retains the feel of passives and the note definition is insane, turning it down can tame it into all kinds of different sounds just depending upon how high you crank that volume knob on your guitar in a way that I've never experienced with any other pickup, despite being designed specifically for modern metal and being able to really hit the front end of amps hard, and boy does it do that...not that it needs to even to get that high output and high gain amp sound, and it was something like £32. Around the 30 mark is where all of their pickups are and they all sound better than most things I've ever had from big brands, and as someone who modifies everything I buy (I can't even resist reverse engineering and modifying my amps...or any other electronics if I wanna add specific features or change something about it), I've been through a lot of pickups. Plus, they're all UK made and not outsourced.

If you're doing shit like this, I do a lot on things from guitars I get given to free and up, the thing you absolutely need is the Bill and Becky Bill Lawrence L500XL, failing that the Bill Lawrence USA(you can tell because that one will say Bill Lawrence on the front) is very close. Forget the Dimebucker, there's no comparison compared to Seymour Duncan's offering. It's just not the same, it doesn't feel or react the same, it's just not 'it', and I've had my Bill and Becky 15 years and the Dimebucker since it was released to contemplate that, even still have my signed picture from Bill and Becky of Bill doing his thing with a thank you note written on the back, too, that came with it when I ordered it from the US and they wound me it and I got it a few month later or however long(in months) it was. It was totally worth it. It's very reactive to what guitar you put it in, probably one of the most reactive pickups to what guitar you put it in I've ever had so keep that as a consideration.

Am I the only one that thinks it's weird that Dean doesn't have a top-mounted Floyd Rose Dean from Hell guitar available (except that run of like 100)? There are other Dean ML USA models that have a bound neck with dot inlays but there are none without the binding on the body. I'm hesitating on getting the imported Dean from Hell because the Floyd Rose isn't top-mounted.

There's pretty much no difference in terms of feel besides your hand sitting higher or lower, which depends if the Floyd is top mounted or recessed.

Grady (Dime's tech) said flipping the pickup didn't do much to the sound, but Dime argued otherwise. You can flip it around and try for sure, but you can also lower the pole pieces on the lower strings of the pick up to reduce the output and clean up the sound.

I love the Floyd Rose string retainer bar but hardly nobody uses them ²²²anymore, and that's import and USA models.
