I felt compelled to write a review due to the single one-star review currently posted as of this writing. This guitar *was* a steal. There was no evidence that the one we received was used or tampered with, so I'm not sure what the deal was with the other reviewer's situation. This guitar arrived quickly and in wonderful condition, with a solid and plush case that had a nice compartment for gear.
I purchased this as a gift for my husband who has been playing guitar since early childhood, and he was floored by its performance, especially given the price. He says it has the fastest action, the most solid and light body, and the best warm tone of any guitar his hands have touched (I can also vouch for the richness of the sound). He said it was night and day compared to his other guitars, and that the action was great even when dry. The glossy finish on the back makes for quick painless trips up and down the neck. The pitch shifter doesn't make an annoying click when you switch while playing. Etc. (Note that it doesn't have a whammy bar, but this might help prevent a loose bridge from making you tune up every 30 mins.) This really was a great deal! |

| When I bought this guitar, I honestly was not looking for a new instrument. I had almost decided to give up playing guitar, but Amazon threw this into a lightning sale (it lasted 4 minutes) and I couldn't pass it up. Thanks Amazon, I have a new love in an old hobby. Out of the box this thing is beautiful and almost entirely in tune (2 strings were flat). It was set up very nicely by a Tech sometime before shipping. This must have occured at Dean US before sending it to Amazon. I was expecting it to have no set up at all and I couldn't believe it was set up so nicely. It is very easy to play, superfast, sports a large wide fingerboard, beautiful high quality pickups and sounds amazing. Tonal quality and control are extremely impressive. The dimebuckers are thick clean and a rolling thunderclap distorted. If Amazon sells this axe again for less that $300, jump on it. You will not regret it. RIP Dimebag! |
Awesome guitar!! RIP Dimebag

| Wow, what a deal! This is possibily the best guitar I've ever played. The quality is incredible and this is just a beautiful instrument. If you're a Dimebag fan who plays guitar, this is a no brainer! This particular guitar sells for $800 or more at all other places. Order before the price goes up!! |
Very Nice!!

| Like one of the other reviewers, I was not shopping for a guitar when Amazon put this up as one of there daily deals. When I saw the price, I jumped at it. I've been out of guitar playing since the mid 90's and have recently been considering getting back into it. The guitar arrived in perfect condition. The case is very large and has a lot of room for storage. I was surprised to find the guitar in almost perfect tune, only one string was out. The action is terrific as is the various tones you can get from the dimebuckers. Highly recommend this guitar, couldn't come close to this quality for the under $300 price. |
Awesome gift!

| This was a Christmas present for my 14 year old son and he absolutely loves it! He soulds great playing it, and he certainly plays with more confidence. I dont know any the technical aspects but it is a beautiful guitar and is truly a piece of art. |
