Dimebag Darrell’s 1979s Dean ML Standard “Far Beyond Driven”
This 1980s Dean ML was used by Dimebag around 1992, and more prominently later on during the Far Beyond Driven era. The guitar was basically used as a second to the Dean from Hell, most often on the songs in alternate tunings.
My main guitar is still my blue ’81 Dean with the Kiss stickers. That guitar just can’t be topped. I use that on all the songs that are in standard tuning. When we tune down to D, I use my brown tobacco-burst Dean.

As far as specs, “Far Beyond Driven” Dean ML featured a tobacco sunburst finish on a mahogany body with a maple top, and it was of course fitted with a Floyd Rose tremolo. As far as pickups, the bridge pickup is an original DiMarzio, while the neck pickup was changed a few times before Dimebag settled on a Seymour Duncan Distortion pickup.
