Take your playing to new heights with the Aviator electric guitar from Dean and Michael Angelo Batio. It features Floyd Rose Tremelo and Dean USA DMT pickups.

Another signature guitar from legendary performer, Michael Angelo Batio. Dean has put tremendous effort into making sure this aviator flies! The strong alder top and body provide a sturdy road ready guitar that's comfortable to play even after long hours of jamming and the Floyd Rose tremolo makes certain you have the tools at your disposal to creat screaming dive-bombs and other trem effects. Throw in Dean USA DMT pickups anp you have a tone that soars above the rest.

I won't need another guitar for a long time. I may but more due to being a collector but this one is deff. a keeper and I will take this one anywhere.
Sound
The pickups are great. The bridges pickup is thick enought that you can sweep and speed pick with it and it will sound smooth enough. I can get anything from a smooth, singing , Brian May sound to the heaviest of metal tones.
Features
The only thing I didn't like was that the neck and bridge pickups don't have individual knobs. Other than that, the legit Floyd Rose stays in tune with all kinds of abuse.
Ease of Use
Very easy to play. The neck is very thin, but not so thin that its awkward. Its not so heavy that it will break your back too.
Quality
Well made. Right out of the box was in tune and ready to play. No loose parts and came with all you need for tweaking the Floyd Rose.
Value
For the money, you can't beat it. Why pay thousands for a guitar that just has someones name on it. With the MAB-2, you get a pro guitar without going bankrupt.
Manufacturer Support
Dean itself was great. The site I purchased from was very friendly but took a little longer to ship it than what they said.
The Wow Factor
Very appealing. The picture does not do the finish justice. Looks great in person and will turn heads.
