Mahogany Body
Dean uses a mahogany body for most of its contemporary guitars.Mahogany is a common choice for electrics, dependably delivering a warm, full tone with plenty of punch and sustain. Plus, it looks sharp all dressed up in white and gold.Set Neck Construction
This V 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 (not that that's a huge issue in most V-style guitars).
The 24-3/4-inch scale neck features a rosewood fingerboard with pearl block inlays.Dean Humbucker Pickup
To capture the biting tones of vintage Deans, the company includes one of its standard humbuckers in the bridge position. It'll provide more than enough bite for modern styles, along with plenty of low-end and midrange definition.
Electronically, a pickup and volume knob are all you get here, and really, all you need--plug it in and turn it up.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
A Tune-o-Matic bridge with 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 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.

Dime It
The late great Dimebag Darrell is a serious metal guitar hero, and Dean's series of Dimebag models pays homage. Dimebag started playing Dean ML style guitars in the late '70s, and made it one of the most recognizable shapes today. Dean offers a wide variety of Dimebag models to choose from, all boasting Dimebag's distinctive look and tons of mojo and attitude. Mahogany Body with Flame 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 flamed maple top serves two purposes. The first, which is plain as day when you take a look at this axe, is aesthetic, with the Braziliaburst finish showcasing the flamed wood grain for looks you can't deny. The second result of the flamed maple top is a focusing of the mahogany tone, imparting clarity to your notes/chords, and a little extra high-end bite.Set Neck Construction
This axe 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 cutaways). The 24-3/4-inch scale neck features a rosewood fingerboard and dot inlays.Seymour Duncan Dimebucker Bridge Pickup
Seymour's SH-13 Dimebuckers were designed with the man himself to provide serious output and an aggressive tone. The Dimebucker uses a powerful ceramic magnet and stainless steel blades for serious crunch. The SH-13 boasts more treble bite than a lot of humbuckers, along with low-end punch and exceptional dynamics. A Dean humbucker completes the package up in the neck position, with each pickup getting its own volume conrol, along with a shared tone and three-way toggle.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. DBD Traction Knobs
Dimebag always rocked his "traction knobs," which he created by taking a soldering iron to them, for knobs that are grippable no matter how much sweat's pouring off you on stage. Dean faithfully recreates that here.

Dean Baby ML 7/8 Size Solid Body Electric Guitar Powder Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Dean Baby ML electric Guitar is inexpensive and easy to play. By its looks and sound you can tell its designed for Metal. I am a intermediate player and personally have purchased 2 of these guitars from other vendors and 2 from amazon.com. My decision to purchase from amazon was because of their excellent customer service and return policy.
However Dean's quality control is lacking, or maybe just lacking quality control. In either case I had to search through 4 of this model just to find one that was semi perfect, or at least as acceptable as can be expected. In the end I am very happy with the the sound, and the overall purchase.

Product Description:
The Dean SplitTail is an electric guitar that combines some of the most popular guitar body features. The SplitTail guitar's mahogany body has deep dual cutaways with sharp horns. The guitar's beveled edges that continue around the entire guitar. The beveled edges make the cutaways even more effective in providing access to the higher frets, and they also catch light and give the entire guitar a more 3-dimensional look. The Dean SplitTail guitar's V-shaped mahogany headstock and rosewood fretboard with pearl block inlays will keep you shredding or chording comfortably for hours. The Dean USA Timecapsule humbucker pickups capture the biting tones of the vintage Dean instruments produced from 1977 to 1986. You get very strong lows and mids creating tone that went into multiple platinum albums during this era. Grover machine heads and a Tune-o-matic-style bridge keep the tuning worries away.

Dean Dimebag Guitar, Black Bolt Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Good guitar, easy to play, nice solid and eye pleasing.If you are like me and want a Dean but on a budget (wanted Dean from hell but don;t have the extra $900) this is a great guitar for the price.Before this I played a Fender Squire Strat and this is so much nicer. I hate the fact that it is a Dime tribute guitar.I am a huge Dime fan but I think they are using his death to cash in on.That is something you should know before buying it.But like I said it sounds good, your fingers fly up and down the neck and its a Dean.

ESP LTD MH250 Electric Guitar - See Thru Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is actually Vladimir's 15-year-old son (the guitarist/metalhead of the household, haha).We ordered this guitar two days ago, and it just came yesterday.(I'm VERY pleased with the speed of its arrival, but I'm in CT and American Musical Supply is in New Jersey, so this probably won't be the case for everyone.)It's pretty safe for me to say that this guitar is one of the best guitars I've ever played.(I've only been playing for two years, but I've tried out plenty of guitars.)The playability is great, the sound is awesome (and the pickups give good variety while still sounding great), it feels very sturdy and heavy, and the floyd rose is a LOT of fun to play with.It came in perfect condition, too.

The only thing is, the picture here looks slightly reddish, though the actual guitar is very black.Look on the ESP website for a better picture, but keep in mind the visibility of the (awesome) pattern depends a lot on the light.But that isn't even any sort of drawback, I'm just saying that this picture isn't quite what the guitar really looks like.

Overall, I am VERY satisfied with this guitar.This is only a first impression, and my opinion may change in the long run, but from what I've seen so far this guitar blows my other ones out of the water.If you're looking for a high quality guitar (with a fun floyd rose tremolo to boot) for a relatively low price, I'd definitely recommend this.

(My bandmates are REALLY jealous.)
