This is the centerpiece of my Dean collection. Without a doubt, the finest guitar I've ever owned. Visit Dean Guitars to see more HardTails. Every USA HardTail produced is photographed and posted on the Dean website. I predict you'll find one that's perfect for you. USA Hardtail

The newest piece in the my Dean guitar arsenal, here's the USA 84 Modern Exotic, with a Lacewood top. This guitar was shown for the first time at the 2009 Winter NAMM show, and just a few weeks later, was in my hands. Much thanks again to the folks at Dean for being so supportive! I wish I could adequately describe how warm and comfortable this guitar feels. It has a super light finish, so you can feel the grain of the lacewood. The neck is relatively thin, smooth and shredworthy. Medium jumbo frets sit on an ebony fretboard. The Dean USA pickups are well balanced and powerful. I instantly bonded with the axe -- it's getting lots of my attention. If you get a chance, check one out for yourself :) USA 84 Modern Exotic Lacewood

This beautiful guitar is a customized USA Michael Schenker V. Dean had a dozen or so of these that became available for customization. I got to choose the color and the hardware. This is my first custom ordered guitar, and I'm pleased to say it is exactly what I asked for. When it arrived at my house, I tore into the package like a little kid on Christmas! Feel-wise, the guitar plays just like the USA Michael Schenker V Limited Edition. Soundwise, I think it's a tiny bit brighter. Also, I think this particular guitar is little bit lighter in weight than the Schenker V Limited Edition. I'm especially pleased with the look of the satin nickel hardware. Dean has been putting satin nickel hardware on its Dean Professional series, but this may be one of the first MSV's with satin. I think it looks great :) USA Custom MSV

Here's
#9 of the limited edition V series ; signed by Michael Schenker himself.
This guitar plays and sound like a dream. Nice thick, woody tone. The
pickups are very well matched volume-wise, so shifting from bridge to
neck is ultra smooth. I love this guitar!

Check
out this Dean
ML! It's a DFH ML import that Eddie Carlino from Carlino
Guitars had custom air brushed. He calls it the Green Ghost Flame
ML. This import ML has many upgrades, which are listed below. Very fun
guitar to play, and sounds great!

And now for something different. This is my jazz box. It's big, and sounds fat with it's 3 P90 style pickups. Quite a versatile guitar actually. It sounds so good acoustically, that I'm using it my new album; I just stuck a mic in front of it and hit record. Plugged in, you get a diverse set of tones from the 5-way swtich. This jazz box sounds killer, clean or dirty. Palomino

Here's my primary 7-string electric guitar. It plays great, looks great, and has a wide variety of tones. The pickups are pretty hot, but not overly loud. They give the guitar a balanced sound--you get an equal amount of lows, mids and highs. For tonal variation, I make extensive use of the three-way switch, and the volume and tone controls. This guitar is very sensitive to changes in pickup combination, volume level, tone level, and playing dynamics. Altering these simple elements gives me a wide array of tones. EVO Special 7

This is my backup seven string guitar. I use both EVO's for recording and performing. When recording rhythm guitar parts, I'll often double track using my two EVO's. The tone on these two guitars is subtly different--just enough that panning the two guitars hard-left and hard-right creates a 'wide' and 'fat' stereo image. If you want to create a wall-of-guitars sound, I recommend this technique. EVO Special 7

Here's the Dean Owner's of America (DOA) 2007 Limited Edition Hardtail Bass. I have #07 of this limited edition. This bass has a commanding growl, and is easy to play. Dean will likely be offering a Hardtail bass sometime in the future. I encourage you to check them out. DOA 2007 5-String Hardtail Bass

The mighty 12! Shredder of callouses, this bass is hard (for me) to play, and it sounds awesome! It's a 12-string bass, with 3 courses (strings) for each note: E, A, D, G. The bass sounds huge, with a hi-fi, piano-string sound. It also sounds good with a little overdrive, like my bass hero Dug Pinnick from Kings's X uses. And actually, it's not that hard to play -- you just flatten your fretting fingers a little so you catch all three of each string set. Rhapsody 12

Last but not least, I have a Dean Performer 7-string acoustic guitar. Pretty unusual instrument, I must say. Sounds cool, especially that low B string! |
