"The only way to make it better is to teach it to cook!"
Ive had mine for a couple of years and have been offered my money back for it a dozen times. Ive been offered a trade for MUCH more expensive guitars but I think I'll keep it.
Sound
This is perhaps the best sounding (plugged in) e/a I have ever played. the shadow pickup is truely outstanding. The tone is not greatly effected by the cutaway as is the case in many guitars. In the price range, nothing even comes close.
Quality
I got the natural finish. The wood is nice and the inlay both on body and neck is awesome.
Value
As I said above, nothing even comes close in this price range.
The Wow Factor
I think its the sharpest guitar available under $1000.
Musical Style:
studied classical, prefer classic rock, can play and teach 14 instruments

fits all my needs!!! and plays like a dream!!!!!
Sound
sounds best when used with Elixer strings!!!! if you use cheep strings the nice tone will be VERY short lived!
awesome fret board action!!!!! plays very smoothly!!! can be used with a style for picks, or fingers!!!! its ALL good!!!! i've had mine since 2001, and it STILL plays sweet!!! this guitar is PERFECT for new guitar players learning bar chords
Features

"From sound to electronics to looks to price, you cannot beat it!!"
This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
Have had this for 2 years now and have never had a problem. The finish looks like new, electronics work great. Definitely would buy one again without hesitation. It holds its own on stage and off.
Sound
The sound on this guitar is excellent, when amplified I can go from quiet background then crank the electronics and get a (believe it or not) distorted sound. The tone is very good across the spectrum.
Features
Electronics great! Finish holds up well despite no pick guard. Only complaint would be one tuning peg is touchy.
Quality
I have owned several 12 strings and 6 string accoustics, and the Dean outshines all of them. Like many said the abalone is something normally seen on more expensive models.
Value
Definitely worth what they are asking for it. If you always wanted a 12 string, now is the time to get one.
Musical Background:
Play on worship team for last 6 years, been playing for over 25 yrs
Musical Style:
Christian Worship, Accoustical pieces, and some Rock
