Washburn Stealth

The Washburn stealth was a guitar designed by Dimebag Darrell Abbott Of Pantera and Damageplan and put in production by Washburn guitars from 2000-2004. The guitar was based on the Dean Guitars ML body shape but with sharper points. In 2008, Dean started to produce a cheap imitation of the Washburn Stealth following Dime and Washburn's designs.
