Dean Guitars Avalanche One

paid $275 atlocal music store

i love the finish on this guitar! I have the transparent blue and the internet pics DO nOT give this guitar any justice.The grover tuners are a big bonus. This guitar stays well in tune. The position markers are abolone and the frets are jumbo. I like the humbucker at the bridge. And 2 single coil pickups one in middle and one at neck. This guitar is a beauty! It has a mother of pearl pickguard. Nice to look at. The tremelo works just fine but I never use it. And yes it stays well in tune when you hammer down on it.

i dont like the factory set up. There is alot of fret buzz but this i find to be minimal and almost gone when i keep my fingers closer to the frets. But I think if you take this guitar to get it set to your liking, this would be a perfect guitar. I dont like the headstock. Looks like a wanna be fender.I dont like the fact that it was made in Korea, but I am quite suprized i might add.


this is a solid guitar and i think that it will hold its value for awhile. Suprizingly built very well

overall this is a good guitar. Just needs a lil tweeking. recomended for beginers and veterans as well
