Subject:
Pictures don't do this guitar justice!
Quality:
After having to return my last performer due to a packing problem at the Dean factory in China, I really gave this replacement a very thorough inspection. The quality of this instrument was outstanding. This is my first Chinese made Dean and I have to say that they were very quality conscience on this guitar.
Reliability:
I haven't had any problems with my other Dean acoustics so I don't anticipate any with this one either. Besides, I just got it today.
Overall:
Overall, I'm very happy with this fine instrument.
Playability and Feel:
This guitar feels very good considering it's small body. I have a Dean Artist series guitar that has a thinner body but not as small a bout as this guitar, but it doesn't feel as small. It plays great whether strumming or fingerpicking.
Tone:
I think this guitar has good tone when playing acoustically, but it really comes alive when it's plugged in! I'm not not too crazy with the Dean electronics that I have in my Exotiglass, or in other Deans that I've played with their electronics, but I have to say that this guitar's electronics sound as good or maybe better than my Fishman equipped Tribal Artist. And it sounds fantastic!
Finish:
This finish on this guitar is quite stunning. I really love the blueburst color and the Abalone inlay around the soundhole is beautiful! It really looks great on the blue finish.
Action:
The action was exceptionally low for an acoustic. I don't know if Dean has read my mind and knows how I like my action on my acoustics or maybe it's because I own 6 other Deans and they are just all really set up well and to my preference! Either way, keep it up Dean!
