The Culprit Standard brings Dime’s iconic tone, feel, and design within reach—without compromise. Every contour, every pickup, every riff-worthy detail is drawn straight from the USA Custom Shop original, built to inspire the same chaos on stage or in the studio.

The Long Awaited Dimebag Darrell Culprit
Designed by Darrell in 1998: This guitar is built to Darrell’s exact design and specs. Outfitted with Darrell’’s Signature Dimebucker and ’59 Duncan pickups, this guitar is designed to deliver the unmistakable bite, clarity, screaming harmonics that form the foundation of Dime's tone.
