MY GUITAR - WASHBURN CULPRIT 

Long time No My Guitar video... WELL IT'S BACK BABY!

Hej Ola! Wow that brought back memories, I was given this exact model as my first endorsement back in 2002. Had 2 of these, but sold them later on. Did some Dream Evil / Firewind albums & tours w/ it up until 2004. Good to see u got one, being the massive Dimebag fan that you are. 👍🏻👍🏻 Gus.

Ola buy a pack of playing cards and use them to hold your bridge up. They won't scratch the finish and you can dictate the bridge location with the amount of cards used. Cheap and easy.

From all your "little penis friends". We all love you Ola. 2020 has been a year for everyone yet you continue to deliver quaulty content. Love these in depth instrument videos!

8:18 the camera was like, "hold up Ola, lemme get this nasty ass fretboard up close for you"

The fact he doesn't cut out all of his mistakes just makes these videos so much better, just listening to everything he has to say is so entertaining.

I can’t believe you have this. I remember staring at this in musicians friend catalogue.

4:14 The real reason I started playing guitar

I can't "deicide" which one is my fav serie: "My Guitar" (my nerdiness speaking) or "Sunday with Ola" (my sunday ritual with coffee).

Mondays with Ola, can't wait until Tuesdays with Ola

That rubber band trick has changed my life. Thanks Ola!

I have to say, I actually like the shape of that guitar. It's the binding, finish and other visuals that wreck it for me.

"This is what happens Larry !" Ola, his Dudeness 👍

I first saw Gus G playing this model in old Mystic Prophecy and Dream Evil live clips and thought it looked bloody awesome!

I read a lot of people hating on this guitar design but I love it.

Oooof!!! That’s one of those guitars i always wanted when i saw dime play it

Ola: "There has never been a handle on this [guitar] case." Black Panther: "Get this man a handle!"

I like the design, nice twist on a classic. The Washburn logo that used the Misfit's lettering looked great.

Ahhh string change with a Big Lebowski reference! Love it!!!

I always thought that, because of Dime's love for EVH, the culprit was a homage to the EVH Shark guitar

Thanks for the vid man! They're always super entertaining and high quality.

I just remembered something. The Baker musick on broad street in Gadsden Alabama. One of the owners was blind. He was blind at birth. The dude walked around ìn that shop. Normal like anybody else would. I was fortunate to go on a couple trips to churches to let him tune their piano. The dude had perfect hearing. He tuned a piano even went in and changed strings. I fidnt get to see him c hang strings in the piano. But watching him work was out of this world. Tuning strictly by ear. The guitar is really cool.

When I block the bridge on my Floyd's I use the back plate that covers the springs and just wrap a cloth of something around it. Works great.

Guitar video back on November 23. Best birthday gift ever!!

I like guitar show and tell, I got some old, sweet, American made Washburn’s in my collection, always loved their guitars

i always loved the culprit shape and im so glad theres more content about it on youtube now. thank u ola!

I always use the backplate from my guitar on my Floyd when changing strings. It won't scratch the body and the plastic is strong enough to hold the pressure.

3m automotive rubbing compound. works fine by hand for small spot. Plastic is harder to remove scratch than clear coat / paint but it still does the job.

Hola Ola, According to Grady, the weird shape on the bottom of the culprit was supposed to look like a bottle opener 🤘

I had two of these and sold them, just stumbled upon a pic and had a blast from the past

If Dime were still alive, he would still prove that he can be just as heavy as any 7 string or low tuning metal player all while using 6 strings. The man is a legend in his style.

I kinda like it, it's got this charm to it, like no other guitar

FU tone has a thing called the "Trem Blocker" its padded on the bottom and works amazing for Floyd Rose trems!

that sound gets me everytime....

I love the Culprit. Actually my favorite Dime guitar.

Perfect thing to get home to after work 🤘🏽

9 am drinking coffee and watching this guy. little things that makes life got more sense

used to work in a guitar shop for 4 years. i feel very nostalgic, especially because of the 9v battery licking part

I love it. Not even halfway through the video and there's already a Lebowski and a Rick Sanchez reference

I freaking love the channel. I purchased a Washburn Steve Stevens guitar back k think it was 1990. Its the black with gold hardware. That guitar was sweet. The pickups was mounted to the body in as team of the ring a n d suspended. The store was Baker music in Gadsden Alabama. They were a Washburn dealer so the guy that owned it knew Dime. In 2004 dime actually mailed the guy a personal guy I tar of his. K think Damage Plan had a show in Atlanta. It was either Atlanta or Birmingham Alabama. I remember the guitar when it got to the shop. Dime was go b no do a meet and greet thing for the store. Things happened and the guitar sat there I k the back. I actually got to play it. That was so cool. You know some of the guitars Dime had like the rebel flag. Dime didnt have the original version. This guy from the shop would have some custom shops done. At NAMM Dime seen them the rebel flag. Dime actually had the second one. The stores long closed now. I remember going in for strings and sometimes not leaving till 3 or 4 am shoot we've had the store covered up many times a lot ous would play after they closed and 9an we'd still be there opening up again. I was so excited to meet Dime. I never got to. It was really cool though hearing the st I ties about Dime and the guitars. There was a few times Dime would trade for things in the shop. I was watching your video. Had to tell about my Washburn and Dime stories. Keep on bending bending those strings. Keep on Kreating that awesome Kontent!

I do the same thing with leaving the ball-ends on, but not from laziness: if like me you don't want to put a new string on every time you break one (and the way I yank on the Floyd to scream those harmonics out, that's quite often!), you put a bunch of wraps around the tuning posts. Leaving the ball-ends on allows them to act like self-locking strings: I can wind that string right out til there's no wraps left on the post and it won't slip out while I trim the other end down and lock it back in the bridge. Then retune and it's done. Point isn't about time saving or laziness, but means I get 3 or 4 string-snaps from each string.

Agreed, that is a beautiful fretboard

I had one of these a few years ago boy do I miss it dearly

Those import Floyd Rose bridges, are a challenge.

6:47 props for the Big Lebowski reference

That Dime tone is spot-on

Picked up a Imported(China) 04 Dime Washburn Lightning Bolt a few months ago for 100$. Bought it from some tweaker that painted over the lightning bolts in glow in the dark paint and painted the neck. Wet sanded the whole thing, buff/polish, put in a set of SD Hot Rodded pickups, & rewired everything. Sounds awesome and looks amazing now!

I just found a Musicians Friend magazine from 1998 in an old office, and I saw this guitar in it. I never even knew about this guitar.

you got a good deal, saw him play the culprit in 1998 in england.

I have been wanting this guitar for years. Nice!

Ola! I always used a dead 9v battery that was wrapped in a little electrical tape. Just dip the bar a little and put it in there. It does make the bridge sit uneven but as long as you tune up and have your springs adjusted it should go back to mostly original position.

It has the Vulgar Display of Power tone going on. I also got Obituary vibes when you first started playing it. Very cool.

I have that guitar! Mine was signed on the pick guard by Dime along with a batch of others at Musician’s Friend before I bought it. I took the mirror guard off and used it as a stencil to make a cream pick guard to put on the guitar and I keep Dime’s sig. safe in a shoe box. I put a Bill & Becky 500XL and also a Tremel-No in it. They don’t keep tuning at all with that bridge. It’s good to see you make a video about it! These guitars got very little attention and it’s a shame!

@4:10 thanks Ola, that's in my brain now. Forever.

A reverse headstock would be SO dope on that thing!

Big bonus points for the big labowski reference.

OH MY LORD I FUCKING LOVE THIS GUITAR THIS IS MY DREAM GUITAR!!!!!!!! THAT IS THE GUITAR THE MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH GUITARS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP AND LUTHIER DESIGN!!!!👍👍 IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS GUITAR FOR YEARS THAT'S AMAZING!!!!!!

Love watching you play Dime riffs

There's a few Dimebag signature edition guitars at my local guitar store, I drool at them every time.

I own one of these! To be honest I've never truly played it. I just loved the shape of it. My favorite body style is an explorer and this was sort of like a play on it so I snagged it when I saw it.

I love those. Gus G used to play one. 🤘

I had a Culprit. Bought it new from Musicians Friend. The body shape was different and the head stock was different. The body did not have that loopy circle cut out. Was more like an explorer. The finger board was a very nice Indian Rose wood. Wish I still had it.

I love the Culprit.. one of the best body designs ever in my opinion

If solar is gonna make a dimebag "tribute", it should be this shape because there aren't many that look like this

Leaving a like for the Big Lebowski reference

I own one of this guitars. I was looking for something else at a guitar shop in Argentina and they had this model hanging so I asked to play it. I didn't like the shape but as soon as I played that freatboard I had to buy it. It's so confortable! Thaks for this video! There's not much info about this guitar

I've heard that a product called Simple Green is also good for cleaning-off all the dirt and spooge from off of a guitar fretboard, it plus an old toothbrush works wonders.

Yes ! So stoked

Jesus Christ, that tone is MASSIVE

I found that guitar at a little guitar shop in flat rock michigan with a broken headstock...fixed it.. plays awesome

MY GUITAR has become my favourite Ola series.

I like to fold a terry polishing cloth on itself a few times to block my floyds. You can wiggle it all the way up by the posts and it makes it really easy to take off all the strings at once

That grain on the fingerboard looks like pau ferro. Very pretty!

«Karate Warrior» OST in the background. Love it.

Du kan allt om metal saound jag gillar allt du visa vart skåpet ska stå bästa Ola

I looked for that guitar for 8 years..finally found it in a little shop in Flat Rock Michigan with a broken off headstock.. Paid 300 for it.. I fixed it and cant tell it was ever broken...one of my fav guitars i own

I roll up a largish micro-fibre cloth and stuff it under the bridge to hold it up when doing adjustments. If I’m just changing strings, I do it 3 at a time. Bass first, then treble.

Cool I remember seeing these back in the day, I agree the stealth and ml are way sexier! I'm also not really a fan of the razorback, but It's cool that Dime had ideas for new shapes kind of like BC Rich when they were creatively bringing out innovative designs. Very cool RIP D.L.A. Getcha Pull brother!!

That "Big Lebowski" reference killed me xD

The culprit is just an edgier take on a Charvel/Jackson Star or ESP Random Star

The only thing I’d change is the headstock. I love everything else about the Culprit

I had one of these and loved it! It was sweet axe.

I actually really want one...I think it's great

Your first Washburn solar signature would be cool for the next my guitar

If you have it meguire’s automotive mirror polish. Works great on acrylic and poly. For buffing by hand. Regular wax for guitar works but can build up on it.

Whaa?? I really dig this body shape!

Love that guitar.

I love you my dude. That Lebowski line killed me 🤣🤣

Little hack for all tremoloscrews in the back: Replace the Phillips-screws with TORX. Problem solved.

your awesome Ola. thank you for always sharing. becoming an extra supporter soon amigo.blessings, have a great weekend

bring back this guitar in later videos! Dimebag guitars best guitars!

You're quickly growing into one of my favorite overall YT channels! Keep up the enthusiastic work and we'll keep enthusiastically watching! Much love!

These are rly fun to watch!

My favorite shapes of dime guitars are that in the video and the "concrete", that reversed headstock it's so cool

Ola, YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE CASE!

There's a Dimebag signed red culprit hanging on the wall in my local guitar shop here in Canada - Weird!

I really like these "my guitar" episodes. 😎🤘🎸

Look into a shred neck trem blocker for your Floyd’s. Get one of them and you’re set for any string changes. Got one for mine and it is great.

So interesting, that even the camera panned down to get a better look at Ola working on the guitar! 🤣🤣🤣

I think Gus G. used to play one of these guitars in Dream Evil times....
