Apparently Dean is already capitalizing on their V and Z unbanning

The only thing that I don't really like about this is that the Floyd isn't recessed.

When Dean sticks to being "Gibson with slightly different shapes" they can really make some pretty things. I quite like this. I also always liked the Caddy as a "Not an LP, but close."

Isn't the Cadillac just a miniaturized Explorer front end with a big circle on the back?

I would love to try one of the neck-thru Exile Selects(?) if I could ever find one in stores. I swear, they announced these years ago but have yet to actually make any. If they could get their shit together and offer these with more options (seven string, Kahler, hardtail, etc.) I think they would sell decently well since the RC/X models used to be super cool.

Getting a super strat from Dean or BC Rich is like going to a whorehouse just to play a game of cards

And always getting bad hands, their superstats are always the most boring or ugliest of the bunch

Call me crazy, but the RC/Exile and Gunslinger have grown on me over time. I think I’m biased towards the former as I was super into ASP & Chris Storey back in the day who played these exclusively as far as I know. The RC7, LTD EC1000 and SC607s are like the quintessential 00’s deathcore guitars.

Cradle of fitlh vibe here.
Fact: adding a horn to a V won't give you something nice looking.
Between this and the scarab Kerry king model...come on dean, hire some designers...

I gotta agree. I think the artists design the shit but still. Dean doesn't seem to be able to make any good shapes. They had something with the classic shapes mashup, even though they are very polarizing. Outside of that, everything has been insanely terrible.

They should stick to making Ex-Pauls, Flying SGs, Flying Xs, etc. They keep trying to get into the extreme shape realm and I think they need to leave that to BC Rich.

I like that one shape they did which is pretty much a PRS ripoff that needs to see its doctor for having an erection for longer than 4 hours

Although now that I'm typing this I just realized it did go see a doctor because the Icon is actually slightly different
