Only if Krank milked the Dime legacy as well as Dean for gear he hardly ever used...

I wonder who they'll take the deal to, Washburn/Randall aren't in good shape either.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

Rack stuff:
VHT/Fryette GP3, GP/DI & 2/90/2 | Peters FSM/Chimera
Verellen Meatsmoke | Synergy SYN1 | Mesa Studio

Thanks to a lockdown attitude, I read that suit. Gives an insight into how endorsement contracts are structured. Will be interesting to see the results in the fullness of time.

No, wait. Result will be significantly more prosperous lawyers. :lol:
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Dean Guitars still has the entire Dimebag range listed.

It will certainly be interesting to see how it plays out.

I wonder how they can have an endorsement with more than one company. The two Dimebag guitars I looked at last week were both Washburn.

Not at the same time. The Washburn deal was prior to the Dean deal.
Amps:
Soldano SLO100 x2 | Wizard MC1 & MC2 | Diezel Herbert
Fryette Pittbull CL | Marshall 2203KK | Krank Rev 50 | Mesa Mark 2A

He was with Dean for a little bit before they went out of business. Then with Washburn for ages then re-signed with Dean just before his death once they started up again.

Both sides cashing in on a dead dude, very distasteful.
