The Dean Razorback Cemetery Gates Electric Guitar features a killer, jagged
design with an amazing graphic commemorating the epic Pantera song "Cemetery
Gates." The set mahogany neck has a rosewood fretboard with a pearl razorblade
inlay at the twelfth fret that evokes Dimebag Darrell's famous necklace. A
DiMarzio rhythm pickup and Dimebucker treble pickup unleash vicious tone that's
sure to put a smile on any metalhead's face. Finished off with black hardware,
Grover tuners, Floyd Rose trem, Dimebag traction knobs, and the Dimebag Tribute
crest on the guitar's headstock. Written across the body of the guitar are the
words from the chorus: "I will unlock my door, and pass the cemetery gates."
"Cemetery Gates" is a seven-minute song by heavy metal band Pantera. The
song is the fifth track from Cowboys from Hell, the band's fifth album and their
second with lead singer Phil Anselmo. "Cemetery Gates" showcases Anselmo's vocal
ability and range, concluding with screaming high notes answered by Dimebag
Darrell on guitar. The lyrics lament the death of a female relative or friend
and the prospect of dying or committing suicide and rejoining her in the
afterlife. Presumably, the song is fictitious and not based on any real
acquaintance of the band.
