"It's the Second Coming"
Sound:
Let harmonics ring. Slap some DR strings on it and you're ready to rock like dime. Both humbuckers are amazing with the right amp. Bill Lawrence pickups are handmade in Corona, California and the neck pickup is a handwound Dean humbucker.
Feature:
The double locking liscensed floyd is suprisingly good. I was going to replace it with and original but it does stay in tune. Making squealies a breeze. You don't know about those traction knobs until you feel them. they're great never slip.
Ease of Use:
You know that deans are pretty much ready to rock right out of the box. All I had to do was raise the bridge, mess with the neck, and it plays like a beast, no problems.
Quality:
For made in china it is built well. It will last for years and years with no worries. Probably 1 back up for alternate tunings on stage but that's it. I have dropped it until i bought straplocks and there is NO damage.
Manufacturer Support:
never dealt with dean and probably never have to.
Value:
The price is a little much but you get a good guitar.
The Wow Factor:
I have more compliments on this you wouldn't believe it, especially from chicks. Also any metal fan would know what guitar this is. Thank you dean for this masterpiece.
Overall:
Reach into your pocket books and pony up the dough its worth it trust me. It is my first dean and won't be my last one, i can't wait for the razorback stealth.
