The company Dean Guitars is known for their production of superior quality musical instruments but when they started to manufacture electric guitars, they became renowned. Started in the year of 1977, Dean Guitars was created by Luther Dean Zelinsky. At a very young age, Zelinsky, started to make and craft guitars. He has a very wide thought on his passion. He thought that designs of rock guitars were already declining and poor style. So with this in mind, he pursued his idea of creating a whole new design concept of rock guitars. The first ones that have been produced were in 1970's. These were types of guitars that had pointed bodies and headstocks. First attempts of production boomed because of their rage-looking look.

Now, let us talk about one of the beautiful creations, the Dean Razorback guitar. Actually it is an electric guitar designed by the famous Dimebag Darrell only a few days before he died. Primarily the Razorback was a model only originating from USA but because of the reason that it became very popular. Then Dean Guitars decided to make the Razorback an import model. Darrell never had the chance to play this guitar model. He was suppose to be scheduled for a photo shoot with the "Rust Razorback" model but he died the night before that. The Rust Razorback model was beautifully crafted by Zelinsky and was smoothly finished by Stephen Jensen.

The Dean Razorback guitar is a variant of the Dean ML. When the year 2007 began an additional production of three more designs of the Razorback model were designed. The model Razorback DB is of a lower quality. DB was intentionally made for those who cannot afford the original high price of a USA Razorback but still want to have the design by their guitar. The model Razorback 255 is just like the original except for the length of its neck having 25.5 scale which can comprise of 24 frets and the guitarist of this can even reach the higher notes.

The model Razorback 7 is also just like the original model except that it has 7 strings (B E A D G B E). Another distinct trademark of Razorback model is the double edged razor that is found on the 12th fret by its neck. Zakk Wylde, the guitarist of Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne were the prominent Razorback players of our times. On the 19th of January 2008, Dean Guitars released the three designs. The first one was as a tribute for the song "Cemetery Gates" of Pantera. The lyrics were being written across the body of the guitar. The second design was the 10,000th Commemorative Razorback to commemorate the first ten thousand models of Razorbacks that have been sold with a diamond-plated design. The third design is similar to the model Razorback Explosion except that it is the left-handed version.
