Sound: Decent, brightish (possibly from unusual finish?) May use it for subtle doubling but I actually bought for the graphic and knockin around ideas around the housse. Feature: Double truss rod is great action adjustment was needed upon arrival but this feature made it a snap. Quality hardware parts all around, tuners etc. Ease of Use: Great neck for an acoustic, plays fast. Quality: Nice job overall, surprised, as the early Deans IMHO were not that good and my employment at a music store back then gave me a generally low opinion of them. This guitar has went along way to changing that opinion VERY good quality especially given the price range. Beautifully slick finish is flawless. Value: Definitely. Manufacturer Support: Never dealt with Dean but they seem to be much more than just a bikini marketed guitar company anymore if this guitar is any representation. The Wow Factor: Great flawless finish and quality piece Overall: Exceeded expectations.

Sound: Won't be mistaken for a Martin, but very good as these type of under $500 guitars go, even more so as the selling point on this guitar is cosmetics. Far out performs what I expected. Feature: Dual direction truss rod was invaluable -and worked to perfection- as the neck needed adjustment right out of the box. Tuners good. Not wired for stage but for the price who cares, buy it a mic. Ease of Use: Once the neck was adjusted it plays great. Neck size and action terrific, especially for an acoustic. Playability 9.5. Quality: Overall flawless, looks better in my hands than the photo. The finish is strangely seamless even at edges (lacquer-adhesive?) but it adds to it's slick look. In 20+ years never owned a guitar finished like this, seems sturdy enough, likely at least as tough as the typically fragile cellulose nitrate found on many guitars. Value: Definitely. Manufacturer Support: Haven't needed them. The Wow Factor: Great looking piece, could've done without the little 'the player' emblem but the other 99% of the graphic/ paint is outstanding really jumps off the black. Overall: Bought it for stage dressing, play it because it's more comfortable under arm than my concert acoustic. Sounds pretty darn good for something I bought strictly on looks. It's lack of electronics will probably keep it out of regular live rotation but it's fun to play around the house, I may even end up recording with it in spots as it has a different tone than my other acoustics.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
