5.0 out of 5 stars great bang for your buck, May 20, 2011

This review is from: Dean Cadi Guitar, Select Quilt, Tiger Eye (Electronics)
I've been playing for about 20 years. Music is usually still in my top 3 hobbies and I have about 20 guitars (including basses, nylon strings, electric, steel string, etc.) ranging from "great bang for the buck" guitars to high end boutique, custom instruments. I'm very careful when buying instruments; there's always a good rational and purpose. I bought this one.

Out of all of my instruments, this is in my top 2 bang for buck categories (1st place in the electric category). I'd feel comfortable taking this one on stage and/or recording with it. It looks cool, sounds perfectly fine, it has smooth action, and separate controls for the pickups (which is important to me since I like sometimes setting one p/u level all the way down to use the selector as a kill switch... great idea for live performances when using high gain amps or messing with it rhythmically a la Tom Morello). I also really like the bevelled top shape.

The pickups give a fairly thick tone. The... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, December 13, 2010

This review is from: Dean Cadi Guitar, Select Quilt, Tiger Eye (Electronics)
This guitar is absolutely amazing. The finishes are outstanding and the sound is amazing. I'm not a pro guitar player; I'm just a beginner. For me the guitar was just great but my opinion is just a beginner's opinion. But a friend of mine that is a great guitar player with more than 15 years of experience was very skeptical about a guitar made in Korea. He told me that I should ask hem for advice before buying the guitar and he confirmed that I did make a mistake. As soon as the guitar arrived I call him because I wanted he's real opinion about the guitar. After 15 minus of playing he was absolutely impressed with the quality of this dean guitar and he took back he's words and told me that he was really impressed with its quality and price and he wanted to buy one for hem self. He's exact words were:
(Value per money the best guitar I have played and let me tell you I have played dozens of them, congratulations with you new instrument and take care of it)

I absolutely... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars I sure like mine..., June 21, 2011

I have a late-model version of this guitar but in amber burst and gold hardware - Korean-made, which I expect this one is also. It was bought used from a friend/co-worker.

I had handled his guitar when he brought it to work one day and found it solid and smooth but I wasn't interested in it per se. But when I found myself in the market rather suddenly (friend of my daughter's wanted to take guitar lessons - but only from me!) I tried a new Gibson Les Paul and quite frankly, found it wanting: finish didn't feel good, pots were chintzy - disappointing. But I thought of the Dean and said to myself, "mahogany; set neck; 'buckers in a four-knob arrangement...would I not be in the ballpark?"

These Cadillacs are very neck-heavy; the long large headstock guarantees this. But I didn't *realize* it was neck-heavy until I tried a slippery strap; use one that is suede-ey or somewhat unfinished leather on the bottom and you'll never know. I have found that the... Read more
