Dean Z 79 Guitar, Set Neck, Classic Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Don't buy this guitar. Unless you want to be blown away by it's sheer beauty, tone, lightness, and slick playability. When I first took it out of the box all I wanted to do was stare for a long period of time. It's magnificent. And when I played it I was not disappointed. I want more. I want it in white with black binding and another copy of this one for backup. This guitar is my baby. I cant believe its this cheap. Must be a typo.. lol. Actually I take that back. Must be a DEAN!

(p.s. I was actually sorta serious when I said don't buy this guitar because I'm selfish and there are limited quantities and I want them for myself but what the heck. Buy it. Love it. ROck out.

The Dean '79 Series
1979 was a great time for Dean Guitars. Some of Rocks' greatest players played Dean to include: Kansas, ZZ Top, Heart, The Doobie Brothers, Triumph,The Cars, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard--the list goes on.Dean Guitars builds these beauties to the original specs of the original 1979 Deans, which are now collectibles on the open market. The '79 series uses the Series 2 headstock, larger than the time capsule, and has the same look and feel as their predecessors of the seventies.The '79 series is available in finishes originally offered in the 1979 Dean catalog, including: Cherry Sunburst, Braziliaburst, and Black with white binding--and the prices are just as striking.Mahogany Body with Maple Top
As with the original models, Dean uses a mahogany body for its contemporary '79s.Mahogany is a common choice for electrics, dependably delivering a warm, full tone with plenty of punch and sustain. The maple top focuses the mahogany tone, imparting clarity to your notes/chords, and a little extra high-end bite.Set Neck Construction
The '79 ML features a set mahogany neck, which imparts all the well-known advantages of that style: a warmer overall tone with extended low-end response, wicked sustain, and easy upper-fret access (enhanced even further by the '79s cutaways). The 24-3/4-inch scale neck features a rosewood fingerboard with abalone dot inlays.Dean Humbucker Pickups
To capture the biting tones of vintage Deans, the company includes two of its standard humbuckers, in black-and-white "zebra" style for looks as good as the sounds. And what to expect tonally? These pickups should provide more than enough bite for modern styles, along with plenty of low-end and midrange definition. The standard three-way selector allows bridge, neck, or a combination. Each pickup gets a volume pot, and they share the tone control.Grover Tuners
If you play guitar then you know what this means--solid, dependable tuning from the industry standard. These guitar machines are a triumph in engineering and style, with a gear ratio of 14:1, perfect gear meshing, and zero backlash and slippage. The gear box has a special lubricant for lifetime, trouble-free service.

Tune-o-Matic Bridge
The '79's Tune-o-Matic bridgewith string-thru body design provides even more sustain, along with precise intonation for your tuning preference. The classic v-shaped plate mirrors the headstock wings for some nice vintage Dean style.

Dean Vendetta Revenge Custom Finish Vendetta with Heart Graphic and Hardshell Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was a little worried about the quality of this korean made guitar but it turned out to be an amazing find. Looks great(if a little gaudy)and the setup was perfect. The intonation was damn close and the action was extremely low but didn't buzz at all even when dropped to b. I play through a Madison Omen stack which pushes some serious metal chunk and the stock pickups probably would have to be replaced if you don't play with a crapload of gain but in my kind of situation the pickups lack of gain gives me an amazing ability to dial in a perfect metal sound at any volume without any hissing or feedback. I've found this great for shows and recordings sound sweet on any format. comes with a case which was a huge plus since getting a guitar shipped is a crapshoot without a case and mine was delivered in only two days. SWEEEEEEEEETTTTTT GUITAR!

Dean Michael Schenker Standard Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have owned my Dean Michael Schenker sig V for 3 or 4 years now and I love it. It's my go-to guitar for metal(I use my Strat and Les Paul for more classic and stoner rock). I did put an EMG 81 in the bridge(leaving the passive neck pickup out of the circuit), but I didn't feel like I HAD to... I just wanted to try active pickups.The finish is just fine, the fretboard has no sharp fret ends, neck pocket is tight.I really have no complaints whatsoever about this guitar, especially at the price they're selling em for... no, it's not a 'custom shop' equivalent, but it suits me just fine. I give it a solid 4 stars.

Dean ML Exotic Electric Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been wanting a Dimebag style Dean for some time now. I have a few friends who own the newer "jagged" Dime Deans and was not impressed with their quality nor expensive price tags. I paid $289.99 for this guitar. That is an UNBELIEVABLE discount. This guitar is with out a doubt my absolute favorite guitar I have ever played. I recently bought a Schecter Hell Raiser FR for around $800. This Dean blows it away. My only let down upon opening the box was well...no case but for the price I paid Im not too upset I have to go buy one. ;)

LOOKS:
The finish is MAPABURL and is quite a stunning alternative to normal "wood" finishes. Itsa nice light colored wood with what looks like dark knots in it. The knots look a bit like little skulls. The craftsmanship when it comes to the binding/inlays is as flawless as its gets IMHO. The satin silver hardware also goes perfect with its look. The back of the guitar has a clear coated and stained look. You can see the beautiful Mahogany shining through. Its just so well made. Say what you will, but Korea in recent years has really been making super guitars.

FEEL:
PERFECT balance. Don't let the odd shape fool you. This guitar fits like a glove whether you are sitting or standing. Its surprisingly VERY light as well. This guitar is FAST! The action right out of the box was better than I have ever felt. The 24 and 3/4 scale keeps string tension very low. This means bends and such are a dream. I believe I've never played a guitar with a similar "V" neck contour, but now I don't want to play anything else. The set neck flows flawlessly from the 1st fret to the 22nd wear the joint is more contoured for comfort unlike Les Pauls and most Jacksons. It so easy to play. I think the strings are D'Addario.

SOUND:
I was afraid that the stock Dean pickups would be horrible, but again I was amazed. The bridge sounds very similar to the Seymour Duncan SH-6 I love while the neck is warm and deep sounding. They are very tonal, not just slapped on pickups. Pinch harmonics are effortless. Intonation is spot on. Sustain is unbelievably long. I play a lot of Dimebag style "over bends" and really beat the strings up. This guitar refuses to go out of tune! With the 2 humbuckers, 2 volumes, 1 tone, and not to mention the wood, this guitar has a lot of tone possibilities. I originally wanted a Floyd Rose on it, but they can be such a big hassle and I already have a guitar for that.

PRICE:
Amazon said the MSRP was $999 and I believe you could get it for probably around $700-$800 when they were first produced. But because of the quality and the fact they don't seem to be made anymore, its easily worth $999 IMHO. I paid $289.99 during a Lightning Deal. Unbelievable. Thats just a bit more than the price of 2 hard shell guitar cases. Same price as what I paid for my first real guitar(mexican Fender Strat before they started making Squires and Starcasters in '97). I bought a Dean DIME Stealth a day later at the same price but the MSRP was $1375 and came with a free case. The Exotic wins hands down.

CONS: No free Case. That is all!

PROS: Everything. I only want to play DEANS now.

This guitar stands normally at about $390 (EDIT: $285!!!) on Amazon now and I'm trying to stop myself from buying another. Don't let this pass you by. It will destroy alot of fancy name brand expensive guitars in a heart beat.

Dean ML Knight Guitar Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love this guitar.This is a quality guitar at a great price.Delivery was prompt as well.The guitar wasn't packed all that well, but it still arrived without any blemishes on it.In fact, it arrived set up perfectly as well, which is not something that happens very often when buying a new guitar.The action was nice and low with no fret buzz.

The only think I can think of that I don't like about this guitar is the tremolo.It's a floyd rose 'licenced' tremolo, which means it's probably a crappy Chinese knock-off.It still works just fine, but you can feel it's a bit rough when adjusting the tuners at the bridge. I can't knock any stars off for it, as it says as much in the product description.If you're picky about tremolos, just be aware of this.Also, I don't think you can install a d-tuna on this bridge either.

This guitar suits my needs perfectly.I haven't stopped playing it since I received it.

Dean's ML may be available in an array of bright colors, but when it comes down to it, nothing says "put in your earplugs" like an all-black satin finish. And this axe is equipped to deliver on its dark promise, with set-neck sustain, low-noise and high-output EMG active pickups, and a Floyd Rose trem. Get ready for battle.

Mahogany Body
Dean uses a mahogany body for this this ML, as with many of its guitars.Mahogany is a common choice for electrics, dependably delivering a warm, full tone with plenty of punch and sustain. And of course there's that lightning-themed finish, sure to help coax a little electricity from your fingers on the fretboard.Set Neck Construction
The ML Knight features a set mahogany neck, which imparts all the well-known advantages of that style: a warmer overall tone with extended low-end response, wicked sustain, and easy upper-fret access. The 24-3/4-inch scale V-shaped neck features a rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays.EMG Active Pickups
This knight marches forward with serious tone, thanks to a pair of active EMG humbuckers. In the bridge position is a high-output 81. Utilizing powerful ceramic magnets and close aperture coils, the 81 delivers incredible amounts of high end cut and fluid sustain, so your leads can cut through the densest mix.

In the neck position the Elite features an 85. It's a slightly more well-rounded version of the aggressive 81. With close aperture coils loaded with Alnico V magnets, the 85 offers plenty of versatility, with a muscular growl and smooth lead tones, perfect for the muddiest of blues to the most extreme metal. Each pickup gets a volume control, with a three-way toggle between pickups and shared tone.Grover Tuners
If you play guitar then you know what this means--solid, dependable tuning from the industry standard. These guitar machines are a triumph in engineering and style, with a gear ratio of 14:1, perfect gear meshing, and zero backlash and slippage. The gear box has a special lubricant for lifetime, trouble-free service.
Licensed Floyd Rose Tremolo
The patented and often imitated double-locking design of the Floyd Rose tremolo allows you to lock your guitar in tune at the nut and at the bridge. Engineered like no other tremolo system, the Floyd's high-quality steel parts are manufactured to exacting specifications. Beat it up as much as you want--from traditional vibrato to dive bombing leads or flapping loose strings, and stay in tune while you do it.

Dean Razorback V Guitar - Two-Tone Silver Blast Electric Guitar with Hardshell Case Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an affordable alternative to the Dean 255 razorback.
Maple neck, basswood body, stock humbucker pick ups and
Floyd Rose double locking tremlo.
This has the radical looking headstock that we have come to love
from the Dean himself. Nice sharp looking body with a nice
black and silver out lined paint job.
I would suggest this guitar for the not so deep pocketed
musician. Around $550.00 new with a soft case.
The only thing that could make this guitar a five star would be
Emg Pick ups and a mahogany body, but hell for the price,
this guitar plays just fine!
If you want the EMG pick ups and the mahogany body, look at
the Dean 255 razorback v which runs about $600.00 more.
