Style of Music: Rock, country, alternative

Musical Experience: Novice

Location: Olympia WA, USA

Feature:
It is more capeable than I am but I would guess that as I get better I might like to have a 5 band eq.

Quality:
Very well made guitar, it should last for a very long time.

Value:
I haven't found anything even close for the money.

Desirability:
Well I bought it didn't I? Mine is the Transparent Amber and it really is pretty sexy.

Sound:
I'm just a beginner but I do know what sounds good and this is a beautiful sounding guitar. It has a wonderfuly bright tone yet still had the rich deep lows. The only guitar that I heard in the store where I bought it that out shone it was $3000.00 Taylor. It sounds better than guitars costing thousands more.

Ease of Use:
Like I said, I'm just a beginner but the first thing I notice was how much easier to use this guitar was than the 31 series Takamine Jasmine I've been using, for that matter once again as easy to use as many much more expensive guitars.

Support:
Haven't needed it can't get much better than that. I'll drop it down one because it's only a 5 year warrenty.

Overall:
This guitar more than covers all the bases for me and I can't imagine finding anything even close to this one for 3x the money.

Style of Music: Country and all kinds of rock

Musical Experience: Singer, songwriter. 27 years playing guitar

Location: Utah,USA

Feature:
The solid spruce top had a great tone and the abalone inlay is so beautiful. It sounds and looks like you paid thousand of dollars.

Quality:
I can't believe it's this cheap. I wouldn't change a single thing if I could! Dean outdid themselves on this one! My freind bought a different guitar and almost ever time we play he says he wish he'd bought a Dean Exotica.

Value:
seriously the best money I've ever spent (other than my wife's wedding ring).Don't think about it, DO IT.

Desirability:
It's got sex appeal like you wouldn't believe.

Sound:
I searched for months playing about 50 different guitar before I honed in on this one. The sound just blew me away. Ive been playing for almost 30 years and never heard anything this sweet!! I played taylors that were $2500.00 and this, to me, sounded much better! The four band EQ is pricless.

Support:
Unfotunately Dean only offers a Five year warranty but By how well this thing is built, I doubt I'll ever need it

Overall:
Can you tell I love my baby? I can't recommend this any higher. I've had this for 2 years but I wish I could have bought one 30 years ago!
