We all have our guitar heroes, and our buddy Wes Hauch has been quite upfront about his love of Dimebag Darrell. Wes is a very accomplished player with his own identifiable style, which you may have heard from his time in The Faceless or making guest appearances on record with Periphery and live with Thy Art Is Murder. The guy’s very capable of sounding like himself. But when Wes turns his attention to honoring Dimebag, you can hear in every note just how much that music, those riffs, those leads mean to him.

Which is to say, we pretty much flipped out when we saw this video.

This is Wes demoing the Dimebag Signature Set, which combines Dime’s signature Dimebucker pickup for the bridge position a ’59 for the neck. And as per Dime’s choice, this is the bridge version of the ’59 instead of the neck model.  Dime felt the hotter bridge version was a better match for the massive output of the Dimebucker. We talked to Dime’s tech Grady Champion about this a while ago, and you can read that discussion here.
The video (and associated audio) were produced by Keith Merrow at Merrowsound Studios in Portland, Oregon, USA. Here are some links so you can keep up with what Wes and Keith are up to:
