Dimebag Darrell’s Washburn Dime 3 “Southern Cross”

This Washburn Dime 3 guitar Dimebag got sometime towards the late 90s. He used the guitar during the 1999 Pantera and Black Sabbath tour and during the “Reinventing the Steel” studio sessions. He owned several nearly identical guitars like these, but the one he most often used had a small American flag on the body, and two all-black pickups.

His main guitars (on “Reinventing the Steel”) were a Washburn Solid Korina Wood ML, his favorite Washburn Dime Slime ML, his Washburn Southern Cross ML, a couple of Washburn Korean stock black ML’s, and a custom-made Washburn Black ML baritone scale, which he used specifically on It Makes Them Disappear.
