A Schaller trem system can be swapped in, but requires enlarging post holes and modifying the back cover due to a longer trem block.

Critic Reviews

Dime 333 DimeBolt Design Review: I bought the guitar as an intermediate, but cocky, player only... | Washburn | Electric Guitars | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

ultimate-guitar.com

The Washburn Dime 333 Dimebolt is a powerhouse for metal enthusiasts, offering a monstrous sound and exceptional versatility. Its solid mahogany body promises durability and a rich tone, making it perfect for aggressive styles. The guitar's size and unique look may limit its appeal for non-metal genres, but in the studio, it shines across various styles. The Floyd-Rose tremolo and adjustable action add to its appeal, although it demands experience and patience from the player. Not ideal for beginners, but a gem for seasoned guitarists seeking to enhance articulation and power.

Dime 333 DimeBolt Design Review: I have only been playing for a little over two years... | Washburn | Electric Guitars | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

ultimate-guitar.com

The Washburn Dime 333 Dimebolt impresses with its versatile sound, handling everything from blues to heavy metal with ease. Its durability is commendable, surviving bumps and scrapes unscathed. However, its substantial weight and mixed setup quality could be off-putting to some. While the guitar excels in performance, its hefty build and uninspired volume controls leave room for improvement.

This was my 1st guitar I bought myself and my jaw dropped when I saw it in Tupelo, MS.

This was my 1st guitar I bought in 97/98. I still have it to this day and love it. It's got a Dimebucker in the bridge & a Pearly Gates in the neck. Gotta install a OG Floyd Rose in the not-so-distant future. Fuck this knock-off B.C. Bull Shit.
