or the Confederate flag one?

Someone asked him about the confederate flag guitar int he early days of the site, and he said that when he was younger, he just saw it as “southern pride,” but as he was exposed to more of the world, and things became more apparent, he no longer liked what it really stood for and retired it. You are unlikely to ever see it again.

 

[Isaac Moss]

He probably wanted it because Dime honestly XD I can’t blame him.

I saw the regular USA flag model going for 6K and that was a custom build.

 

[Jared Lewins]

Yes the Dixie flag one

 

[Jared Lewins]

If dime was still around he would still play it. I don’t think dean still make dime rebel flag any more I guess all it take is one bad apple to ruin it for everyone.

 

[Ed Seith]

Dime may not have. Dime was many things, but an instigator and hater? Not so much. He loved everyone and a good time. If he felt that guitar and the flag was becoming more recognized as a symbol of hate, he probably would have stopped using it. He ain’t Phil, that’s for sure.
I personally never saw the appeal anyway. It’s the very definition of anti-American and a participation trophy.

 

[Isaac Moss]

Yeah a lot of southerners just view it as a southern pride thing and Dime was a Texan haha. My new guitar teacher actually ran into Dime once in a bathroom at a Ted Nugent show back in the 90s XD he said Dime was like the nicest guy on the planet.

 

[Jared Lewins]

Cool wish I meet him.

 

[Jared Lewins]

I’m pretty sure dime would be rolling in his grave that’s for sure. The whole Phil thing he did that to Him self.

I don’t think Dime was a hateful person, but Phil on the other hand…
Not a fan of his, I’ll just leave it at that
I too saw a video of Syn playing that guitar in a video compilation, and I was kind of taken aback by it, but then I realized it was probably because of Dime, and quickly got over it
As far as it being “Southern Pride” — well, I don’t believe it is, that’s just me though — and here’s a quote from the guy who actually designed the flag, he called it “The White Man’s Flag”
“As a people, we are fighting to maintain the heaven ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race”
