MABB v6.6.6

Dean Guitars has announced that Slayer's Kerry King has come onboard the company’s artist roster, and that a new, never-before-seen signature electric guitar design is in the works.

King, who until recently was a signature artist with B.C. Rich, said of the new partnership, “I'm super-stoked to be part of the Dean Guitars family. This has been an insane[ly] long time coming!

"Together we're going to create some amazing guitars that Dean, Slayer and Kerry King fans will be as excited as I am to play. It's gonna be a wild ride for years to come!"

Dean will kick off the Kerry King line with a limited run of 50 handcrafted USA models signed by the Slayer guitarist.

Additional product information outlining King's Signature Dean Guitars USA and import models will be revealed over the coming months.

In the meantime, keep your eye on Dean Guitars for updates. Hell awaits..

What... why?

because they offered him a bunch of money and his main source of income is about to disappear

Yeah... I figured that much. But why Dean?
Ugh...

He could've gone back to ESP. I loved his kintar in it the Seasons video.

odd to get a new endorsement near the end of slayers career? maybe kerry has something else lined up

he's still kerry king, he doesn't have to release new music to be worthwhile as an endorser. when was the last time jimmy page put out an album

das a good point

it is definitely strange and kind of sad and mostly pathetic though

Dean ::::::::::

Funny, everyone I know who started with Dean and later tried out an ESP/LTD or an Ibanez never looked back.

let it be known that for as long as i've played guitar (~20 years now) i've always shunned dean because they made the derek dime bag guitar. which, irrespective of how you feel about darius dimington, is objectively hideous and the absolute bottom of the barrel for funny-shaped pointy guitars

Agreed. I mean I love dime but his guitars are hideous.

holy shit it's hideous

wtf is up with all those switches? is he gonna be doing shoegaze/indie rock after slayer is done?

i think this might actually be a prototype so maybe they were trying to find the right tone... but still though wtf

the dean logo is truck stop ugly
