Looking for opinions on what this is worth. Have this a couple of years now and know its very very rare indeedy as ive looked all over the net for one and no joy.

The guitar has hardcase and dimebucker on the bridge. Not a mark on it. Anyone be able to help me with some kind of pricing structure as im completely lost on this one.

Nice guitar!

Here are a few expired adds for those being sold in the states:

No idea what they actually sold for though.

Bear in mind that you can now buy Dime's later signature series, the Razorback, branded with the original Dean logo. Plus there are also re-issue ML guitars, very like the ones he originally played. They're all very good guitars and not massively expensive. They make some in China (Dean From Hell) and some in Korea (Razorback). The Washburn has a bolt-on neck and alder body afaik, whereas the new Deans are mahogany and have a set neck. The higher end ones have original Floyd Rose bridges and Seymour Duncan Dimebucker pickups. Even the DFH model which is not that expensive has a Bill Lawrence USA pickup. In fact these guitars are much closer to the Washburn 3ST which is what Dime actually used on stage at the time according to Wikipedia.

So even though this guitar is rare I can't see it being worth a whole lot to the average Dime fan. Washburn was a brief excursion for him - Dean is the name associated with him for most of his career. But that's just my opinion. Maybe try some US forums, try to reach a wider audience, just to get a feel for how much they're sought after.

Incidentally, what did it sell for originally?

That one is a Dean, and although they're not identical, it's probably a good comparison.
