Are Dean Acoustic Guitars Good...or Not?

Question

I intend on getting on this Thursday(6.26.08) and the one i am getting is 399.99. Its also an acoustic-electric with a built in tuner. If you have a Dean, could you give me the pros and cons of them. Its also my first guitar too.

Answer 1

ive had several acoustic elecs and the one that ive kept for all these years is my dean exotica andes.i shaved the saddle a bit to lower the strings for better action,but other than that its the best for the money.if your into playing rock,this is in my opinion the best acoustic for it.go try one out,i bet you buy it.

Answer 2

Dean is good enough. It's no Martin...

I think Dean does better electric guitars. The really crazy shaped ones you see are usually Deans. Dimebag used them, as well as about a million death metal guitarists. They make a neat banjo as well.

I would...suggest going for a cheaper priced guitar if you have the choice. People want to buy a decent guitar right out of the gate, and it would be a shame for you to have spent 400 on a musical instrument you don't like. There's plenty of 100-150 dollar guitars that'll fit the bill of a beginning player, and it doesn't hurt so much in the wallet.

Trust me, if you like playing, this won't be the last guitar you buy, for sure. It'll be an addiction. WOOO!
