Killer flamed top, according to Karl (on his FB) he's going with Duncans - I'm assuming Invaders, as usual.

Fucking scalloped board...
"I really hope this signature guitar doesn't have the features the artist wants"![]()
Oh, i'm fine with it if it does. I would just love for them to release at least a similar model without scallops.
I'm sure you understand where i'm coming from.I'm very heavy handed, and I absolutely cannot play with scalloped fretboard, but this is a sick guitar.

Eh it's pretty much a King V with an ugly headstock, there are similar designs with better headstocks available a number of different places![]()
I can't help butat all the outrageous Dean hate.
Ok, I am probably overstating just a little. I really do love the shapes, and I even think the headstocks are ok. But really, all of the imports I have tried have been almost that bad. Some of the problem may be that I live in a semi-remote area, and the music shops don't send stuff back when they get garbage.
Too bad all the dean production models are such overpriced garbage. Expect a $1500 price tag for a photofinished piece of balsa wood with a bad paint job and an unevenly sanded neck![]()
I love how mysteriously the only guitars Dean seems to build properly are RC7Xs and RC7Gs. That's just about the only model folks on this site don't harp on (except for price of course).
Strange.![]()

My only Dean hate is in regard to that horrific split headstock
(well ok, the Cooley model is ugly as all hell too...)
Um.. weren't YOU and some other people too, just talking about these going into PRODUCTION?So what does that have to do with a USA made CS model again?![]()
Good to see more legit 7-string Vs go into production.
All of the statements I have made about dean imports are based on my own experience playing them at local music shops when looking into purchases. Other people may have other experiences. I can only tell you what I have played, and what I thought of it.You can say what you want about Dean and their business practises, but what you just said is a load of fucking rubbish.
I think it goes without saying that people that complain about them making crap guitars have never played anything other than maybe a bad "79"/Dime sig, or one of their other various entry level offerings. Their higher end imports play on par with pretty much every other import i've played, and their USA built guitars are up there with pretty much every other notable manufacturer's USA/Japan offerings.
