Ultra RARE 1993 first year & first ever Dimebag Darrell signature guitar signed by Dime and all other members of Pantera! These guitars were made in very limited quantity by Dean when Tropical Music owned them and were exclusively built by Samick. This limited edition run were black ML models that were then given the custom "Dean From Hell" lightning graphic from Dimebag's own legendary Dean ML. They were promotional guitars not available to the public and used as prizes as seen in Guitar World at the time. These guitars would come signed by Dime.
The signatures were acquired by a member of legendary Newcastle metal band Venom for a relative who was a fan and had this guitar, although Dime's signature may have been on the guitar from the earlier contest give-aways. Newcastle guitarist Dagan Wilkin acquired the guitar directly from that relative as can be seen in the signed letter and provenance that accompanies the guitar. He further had the signatures certified and authenticated by Prestige Pawn Brokers of TV's "Posh Pawn" - the UK's version of America's Pawn Stars. Their signed Certificate of Authentication joins the provenance that comes with this guitar. Dagan is endorsed by Kramer guitars and presents on the well known YouTube channel PMT House of Rock with over 140 Million views! Venom were a very influential band on Pantera, with lead singer Phil Anselmo having the band prominently tattooed across his back.
