Rofl I love how Dave hardly lets the interviewer speak. Hey, if I had a signature Dean guitar i wouldn't stop talking about it either.

@MetalGearSteel It's not only made to reminisce on Darrell. It's built with the assistance of Darrell's tech Champion yet I still don't see the point of building that amplifier when Darrell had already collaborated with Krank before his death and came up with Krankenstein as his signature :/ I feel as if Dean's cashing in too much on Darrell to be honest :@ I dug the project of Shankle to find also talented but unknown guitarists \m/ By the way, 29 frets, that's how a signature is done :)

[MetalGearSteel]

[iRaiseTheDead]

Hail David. A King of Shred!! \m/
