Dean Cadillac USA 1984 Black

Killer 1984 Vintage Dean USA Cadillac model guitar.

The guitar in 100% original condition and has no playability issues to speak of whatsoever.

As far as condition we’d rate it an 8/10 as it has a polish swirl marks, a few minor dings and dents which are all very characteristic of it’s 34 year rock n roll journey it’s been on.....but please as all opinions vary feel free to ask any questions that you have about the guitar.

Not a fan of that bridge, but I love the Cadillacs.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Might be ok. Somehow makes me think of playing roadhouse type tunes at that one tavern on the old highway 99 out of town (any town) that is a little bit cool, and a little bit redneck.

 

[jelloman]

I like it, despite the fact it looks like something Paul Stanley would play...

 

[Kerouac]

Ugh, figures it has the "ugly" Dean headstock.

Shrimp fork!

 

[Tig]

Never liked that lower bout.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

A nearly perfect Dean.

Hot as fuck and I’d wager it possesses MASSIF TOANZ.

 

[Dudeman1967]

It’s ugly, stupid and the price seems way high. What did that sell for new, before its decades long rock n roll journey?

Also $175 to ship? Is that the going rate these days? I’ve never bought a guitar online but that sounds very high to me.

You don't play roadhouse type tunes, you play new wave.

 

[Psychotronic]

Oh man...thanks to The Cars, I love those old Deans and have always gassed for a red ML just like Elliot Easton used. I'd like stupid playing it, so I never got one. But I'd hella rock a Dean V or Explorer.

I want a cherry Dean Z.

 

[Ignored Member]

I love it. I don't care what you think of me for loving it.

I'd love it a bit more if the pickup switch was on the Explorer sticky-outy thing.

 

[Pine Apple Slim]

Not something I want but at least it’s not a snake guitar.

 

[Knox in Box]

Yes, except for the shrimp fork. Give me a real Dean headstock please.

Ok, but only from the first album. None of that mid 80's aerobics stuff that the Cars put out.

 

[Guitar Heel]

that guitar makes baby Jesus cry.

 

[12Pack]

I would.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

Just fucking hidious. Just like everything Cadillac makes. Good co-branding opportunity. “Do you like shit? We’ve got the car guitar combo for you!!”
