NO!

 

[JModius1972]

OK....eww.

Also, I'd love to know the story behind the 'greater than' symbol on the truss rod cover.

 

[Chihlidog]

I'm gonna be the only one to say this, but it's hot. AOK

[Prages]

I'd like it other than the Dean headstock.
















And the fact that it's a V.

 

[Prages]

Also, is it just here, or is Dean oversaturating the market everywhere?

There are three music stores in Charleston that deal in new equipment, and all three are Dean dealers with 1/2 of their inventory being Deans of some sort...mostly the crappier, lower end of the spectrum.

 

[Aahzz]

No no no no no

 

[Chihlidog]

I rarely see them in person, Prages. I'd love to play one of those black gold explorers but I still havent been able to.

 

[Prages]

When you're here in August, I can take you around to the stores here and you can play Deans until your fingers fall off.

Dean is offered through the vendors like Musicorp and Kaman music that get us smaller music stores our accessories. It (and Daisy Rock) is the one "name" guitar brand that I can carry without opening a dealership. Those stores also probably carry JB Player and Arbor...

[Mark Wein]

Not what I like in a V....I'd rather have a Gibson Korina V or a Hamer....

 

[Phil513]

If you put your hand over the headstock in the picture, its not too bad really.

I just hate the headstock though.

 

[Mrs.P]

OK....eww.

My V > Your V

 

[Prages]

It's a metal chugga chugga guitar. It basically means that E-A-D > G-B-E.
