its feels kinda strange as ive never really owned a non-strat type of guitar before, but somehow the axe was so on me...
you can ignore my lame pose. i am not a very photogenic guy lol...
this is one of the deans which i am proud to own, not for just being the first non-conventional shaped guitars i have, but for also being the first guitar to ever sound so good.
i was once very skeptical of dean guitars as the ML shape and their headstocks didn't really attract me, but listening to some pantera for a while i decided to give it a go. amazingly, the basswood ML shaped body provided A LOT of comfort for my elbow and my wrist, keeping my picking hand as relaxed as possible. and that kind of comfort wasn't achievable with my ibanez. i was surprised how relaxed i was even when standing and playing with this guitar. the neck's fast too.
sound wise, i would say the Dean DBDT (Dimebag Tribute) guitar is really good overall. the clean sounds in all pup positions sparkles. very very hard rock/bluesy in the neck, and when you flick it to the bridge in dirty it chugs and screams and you get that "cowboys from hell" tone. i wasn't even close to getting it as this guitar was made for big amps with big sounds and not my shitty marshall MG-CDR-15 practice amp.
oh btw, turning the neck pup to zero makes the pup toggle a cool killswitch.
this axe is suitable for all genres but mainly is made for the metal scene in general. i play a lot of trivium on it and it sounds great, just that i have to get used to galloping and muting on the bridge, the saddles aren't the same as on an ibanez or fender bridge. yeah, this is one hell of a kickass guitar mate.
i'll be posting up vids and some sound samples of this guitar so do watch this space =)
cheers.
