"Ten years later.."

Sound: I like the brightness of a maple acoustic. It sounds fine acoustically. Plugged in with the built in electronics and whatever amp it's going through, it can be dialed in anywhere I need to go. I have a Gibson J-200 as well, but I play this Dean more because it plays and sounds more electric than the Gibson. This is all subjective. Everyone has their own ears, I just like the sound of this guitar. Feature: It needed a second strap peg, but that's a dollar and about a minute's luthery, and I did that long ago. I subjectively like the pickup and equalizer. Ease of Use: The neck, fretwork, fingerboard, and string height took tweaking and lots of playing to get right. However, after owning this axe for ten years, I've got a finely dialed in, great playing guitar. A 10 for me now, but it took a lot of tweaks and a lot of playing to get this part right. That to me is mostly what separates the inexpensive axe from the expensive one, or it should be. Quality: I've played this guitar hard, haven't been gentle, as gentle as I would have been with a more expensive axe. I have one nick on the head. The rest of the guitar is built like a tank. The finish is still flawless. This is a gorgeous axe. Just from a visual detail inspection, neither my previous Martin D-28 or my current vintage Gibson J-200 pass that sort of inspection, and neither has proven as tough as this Dean. Subjectively, maybe it's taken me a long time to truly appreciate it, but I am impressed still how it holds it's own with the big boys I've owned. Value: After ten years of owning this guitar, I'm still amazed at what I got. It isn't just the price. I don't think I've ever gotten so much for so long out of any other guitar, and I like it more today than when I bought it in 2000. Manufacturer Support: I talked to Dean folks ten years ago, about the neck issues, and although I did my own tweaks, I got the impression that they cared a lot about the quality of this guitar. The Wow Factor: The appearance and the flawless detail of this guitar have been commented on by most of the musicians I know who've seen it. It is an attractive guitar. Overall: I've been playing 47 years. I'll be playing longer. Any guitar that's been in my rig 10 years or more is a keeper. Of the five I own, only this Dean and another electric have stood the test of time. With work, the neck, fretboard, and frets are as I want them. Those were the flaws, and I took care of them. It's now a very good friend, and I play it a lot.
