Mammon Tarr from Graham, North Carolina. U.S.A.
Quality:
Like I said earlier, it only needs a Kahler 2200. The body is made very well. A very dependable guitar.
Sound:
The tone goes from crisp and clean, to Hard and screaming. Most guitars are setup to either crisp and clean, or screaming. This guitar is setup to do both.
Reliability:
If it had a Kahler 2200 floating tremelo instead of a Floyd Rose. You wouldn't have to tune it every time you go to play it.
Overall:
With the setup of the pickups, it blows all other guitars away. The only problem it has is it needs a Kahler 2200 floating Tremelo in black, instead of a piece of junk Floyd Rose.
Playability and Feel:
The neck is smooth and fast, the controls are very easy to get to. And the sound is greeaaaattttt. If you play classical or jazz to speed,thrash,death, hardcore metal. It will give you the sound you need. And the guitar is light as if it was made in Heaven.
Tone:
The guitar has pickups that give you any sound you want. The tone is made for every sound.From bright and snappy, to dark and smooth. And everything in between.
Finish:
The Armor-Flame paint job is eye-popping.
Action:
The action is great. It was truly made for stage.
Skill Level:
Pro-Rock Star

Not a $1200 Guitar
Quality:
Like I said before, it doesn't look and feel like a $1200 guitar. I own a $1500 Ibanez and the quality differences are like night and day. This Dean guitar can't even compare.
Sound:
The EMG's are ok. I've never been a big fan of them but with the right amp and effects they can be tweaked to the way you like. Just takes longer.
Reliability:
I had this one day and did not like it right away. I traded it for a Jackson.
Overall:
Overall, I feel this guitar should be in the price range of $500-$600. It looks great in pictures but in person it looks cheesy and amateurish. The action was standard-nothing great. There were a few minor flaws in the finish that I noticed right away that really bugged. For $1200, one should receive a flawless instrument. The bridge pick-up was installed crooked. Yea, imagine seeing that on a brand new guitar! And the volume and tone knobs were hard to turn. Like they got hung on something.
Playability and Feel:
The most positive thing about this guitar was the neck and playability. It was smooth and fast.
Tone:
Tone was standard... nothing amazing.
Finish:
Online-looks awesome. In person, it was just okay. It's probably more exciting to a beginner guitar just starting out.
Action:
Standard... nothing amazing.

Quality:
Made with top quality woods, incredible

Pretty similar in this case to an ibanez prestige, so excellent
Overall:
I can feel MAB's power every time I play it, it's an excellent guitar, probably the best one Ive got right now
Playability and Feel:
It's pretty easy to play and fast shredding, like it should be. It's even faster to play than my Ibanez prestige.

Subject:
The most amazing guitar on the planet.
Quality:
The neck has a great feel to it, the frets are larger and the pickups are superb. Also, even though tremelo systems are harder to tune, once it's in tune the guitar rarely to never goes out of tune.
Reliability:
Hey, MAB's played it for over 100 shows it's as tough as he is.
Overall:
The ultimate weapon of choice for shredding.
Playability and Feel:
It'll make you feel one with the guitar. MAB has no trouble zipping his rocketfingers up and down this bad boy so neither should you.
Tone:
One word, PERFECTION.
Finish:
The chain mail and flame design brings out a more personal aspect of MAB that I have in common with him, Medieval times and FIRE BABY. ^_^
Skill Level:
Intermediate

No but I have played it before.
