Plays as fast as it looks
Quality:
There is no reason this shouldn't fall under Dean USA. The quality is great.
Sound:
The sound is great. The pickups clean up nicely. The bridge has enough edge for the hardest of rock but is still smooth enough to shred on. The neck pickup has all the mids you would ever need and makes every note of a sweep arrpegio jump out.
Reliability:
I've only had it a few months but so far no problems whatsover.
Overall:
This is an amazing instrument. The only thing I would change is individual tone and volume knobs for both neck and bridge pickups.
Playability and Feel:
The neck is amazing. Easy to navigate standing or sitting. I'm used to a toggle switch but I'm sure I will warm up to the blade selector.
Tone:
Smmoooooooth. Thick pickups but with plenty of bite to get those squealing harmonics.
Finish:
The finish is incredible. Never have so many people complimented me for something as much as they have this guitar.
Action:
The action was a tad high but I adjusted it with no problem. String tension is a little loose but no big deal.

Quality:
Considering that it is made in Korea, this thing blew me away. I'd say it's on par with American made Fenders.
Reliability:
Just got it so only time and touring will tell. But it feels solid as a rock and am really looking forward to taking it on the road.
Overall:
I was looking for something but beautiful and striking, both to the eye and ear. This fit the bill and then some.
Playability and Feel:
Its of average weight for this body style and the neck is smooth and fast. The fretboard is a bit slow feeling but it will get better with time. The this is set-up pretty great out of the box, no buzzing and decent action. I'm going to lowering the strings a bit to get them closer to the body. The control knobs look awesome with the riveted steel paint job and are in a comfortable position that wont get in the way.
Tone:
A great range of sonic display here. The DMT pickups are great. Awesome Highs and Mids and when paired with the alder body, maple neck and ebony fretboard this beast can slice through the mix and be heard front and center. The brige pickup is extremely hot and when used with a high gain amp and really bring out the best in both your amp and guitar. The Neck Pickup is very smooth and alive sounding, fantastic for legato playing and as enough attack to allow quick alternate picking or sweep picking runs to be super smooth and articulate. when playing cleans using the splits with the mid position single coil is awesome for strumming and alone the mid pickup is actually very quiet and is loud enough to stand up with the hot humbuckers to its sides.
Finish:
Flawless. Pictures don't do it justice.
Action:
A bit high but that is easily fixed. Really good for most people and can be played very easily right away.
Skill Level:
Pro-Rock Star
