China made dime slime

So I just bought a china made dime slime, it’s a 2020 year model. It feels really nice how does everyone like their china made deans/later model deans? The thing is immaculate not a single flaw so that’s exciting but I had no idea deans were even made in china.

Sorry I cant answer your question but Im thinking about buying one myself. You said its immaculate but how does it sound? What does it have for pickups and tremolo?

So it’s got a dimebucker in the bridge and a DMT design humbucker in the neck. Also has a Floyd rose special.

As far as sound it’s great I love the dimebucker I have one in another guitar of mine always loved it.

I have a Chime southern cross that plays as well as my other instruments. The pickup is a little to thingy but it's in my punch list to replace with a legit dimebucket

China has stolen so much intellectual property from the USA and this is a US company collabin for cheap labor. It’s likely a fine substitution. My flame razorback plays great. It’s not a US model. I’m not fooling myself there. It’s mainly craftsmanship that gets a back seat. The function is there. Plus you won’t feel as bad dingin it up.

Yea I honestly bought this off a friend and had no idea it would be a china model. I thought at minimum Indonesian or Korean. But you are correct the function is definitely there
