Studio recording, 1996. Dimebag used the Washburn Dime 333 with Bill Lawrence L-500XL bridge pickup for most of The Great Southern Trendkill. Clean tones likely used neck pickup (Seymour Duncan '59) for warmth. No evidence of acoustic or alternate guitars for the clean riff. Randall RG100ES solid-state amp was his main studio amp for this era.
