So this weekend was wild I went to a Birthday party with my daughter for her friend in co op school and it turns out her dad works for DEAN GUITARS now I've been to 5 or 6 DOA parties and the facility tours met a lot of people but never met him or even recognized him when he came home to the birthday party (He worked late) His name is Derek and he is in charge of sales or something of the like and told me he actually books MAB guitar clinics we got to talking and he showed me a video that he took in Germany on his iPad with MAB and Elliott Dean (owner) doing a Dimebag Darrell tribute on the ROCKET guitar It was great to see MAB playing that guitar once again! Derek told me that the ROCKET is already getting a lot of interest in the buyers market so if you guys want one hurry before they are all gone! Derek was a cool guy as everyone from DEAN has been to me….thanks again for a great video Derek you rule!!!

Yes, I watched several youtube video's of the show yesterday and the guitar sounds awsome. The Dimebag Tribute was brilliant. These will sell like hotcakes and no wonder there is so much interest. I just wish I could afford to buy another guitar right now, the Rocket is going to be very collectable. Do you know if they are going to be signed by MAB?
For everyone else this is him on youtube playing . Enjoy!

I know Derek! Very nice guy. Here is a recent video with him doing a demo: He used to be in the Luna guitar side of the company, which is why you didn't meet him at DOA events.

Yeah BKW he said he was with LUNA since 2006 and now has transitioned to DEAN and yes before you posted the video I have seen him in this demo on the DEAN site He also thinks the world of MAB "Just the nicest guy" and "Probably the best guitarist in the world right now" are some paraphrases he shared with me that night. He, like us shares some of the same opinions much of us have here on the forum! Thanks for posting and thanks goes out to FALCON for posting as well! Ironically I see Derek in the background in this video HA! You guys rule! I'm not sure myself on the signing of the ROCKET it seems to me MAB usually does do some signing on first few of his sig models lets hope the same will be true here as well! I want one of course, but I'm afraid I am in the same boat as you FALCON, now I'm sad……...

I assume he will sign the first hundred... I'll ask Elliott when I see him next month to see if that is going to happen. I am hearing that the guitar will be street priced around $800. so, considering what you are getting... its a steal!

Thanks for the info guys. Yeah BKW, I think $800 is a great price for that guitar, especially if they are signed too. Cybersquatch its great you got to meet Derek and chat with him. If he works at Dean, I'm sure he knows MAB better than anyone. I love his quote "probably the best guitar player in the world" He should drop the "probably" because I think he is! I'm learning alot from his Speed Kills DVD . I will be buying the new one when its released.
