SIX-STRING MASTERPIECES:THE DIMEBAG DARRELL ART TRIBUTE is: A collection of 50 DEAN ML guitars that have been hand-painted by world-famous Rock Stars and internationally known Tattoo & Visionary Artists in memorial tribute to one of the greatest guitarists of all time, DIMEBAG DARRELL ABBOTT.
“There has never been an exhibit like this” states Exhibit Producer Curse Mackey. ” the fans of these artists are going to be really amazed at this project. It is such a cool thing that these artists have donated their time and talent to make this tribute to Dime a reality.”
The rock community is really stepping up for Darrell. The artist list is beyond belief! The exhibit features art work from MARILYN MANSON, ROB ZOMBIE, JAMES HETFIELD, KERRY KING, JERRY CANTRELL, DAVE NAVARRO, TED NUGENT, TOMMY LEE, LINKIN PARK, JON DAVIS, MUNKY, DAVE GROHL, SAMMY HAGARD and more!
The guitar model being used as “the canvas” is the DEAN ML, originally designed in 1976 by DEAN ZELINSKY, the founder of DEAN GUITARS. This is DIMEBAG DARRELL’s signature instrument, the exact model he played his whole life.
DIMEBAG DARRELL was a cherished individual who was highly respected by the music industry and fans for his incredible talent and vibrant personality.
SIX-STRING MASTERPIECES debuted Jan 19-22 in Anaheim, California in front of 50,000 people at NAMM, a massive music industry convention. The exhibit had incredible response with many people saying it was the highlight of NAMM. The exhibit will now tour to no less than ten major US markets at top concert venues, musuems, music instrument retail stores and Fine Art Galleries during the spring and summer of 2006. At the completion of the tour, the Art Guitars will be auctioned off via one of NYC’s top auction houses/galleries, with funds being donated to a foundation that supports Music Education in our schools.

Dimebag was and always will be the greatest guitarist…..Though
s fucking guitars are mint…Fucking awesome…
LINKIN PARK, JON DAVIS, MUNKY, MARILYN MANSON? what a fucking insult.
Why, because you dont like them? Im sure they were better friends with Dime than you were, so how would that be an insult? What does contributing artwork for a dead persons tribute have to do with your taste in music?
i wonder why they didnt show everyones, i unless they might be posting more later, who knows, cause i dont see dave grohls, kirk hammetts, and etc.
did anybody else notice that kelly clarkson is on that list? HAH

^Thats what I was thinking! Someone must have been sly.
Holy shit, no way, i didn't believe it until i saw it for my own eyes. Kelly Clarkson really is on the fucking list. HAHAHAHaaaa. WTF?
Holy shit, me niether! Kelly Clarkson kicks out the tunes, and I would bang her. Plus, she's more metal than Linkin Park.
