All user reviews for the Dean Guitars USA V Exotic

The story <span style="font-weight: normal;">
One morning, I see on an auction site in Switzerland, this guitar. For sale 750 euros. I know nothing of dean at the time, I began seriously interested in the guitar and wanted a good instrument. I found the guitar was just made ​​up for the usa. I also know the slopes of the Swiss brands. Dean is still unknown to us, Dimebag is life, scratching was unlikely to sell to price. Some scratch-cents are still trying to negotiate, I jumped. After winning the auction and the guitar made ​​in reception, I find myself in front of an incredible instrument. In fact, the discussion with a friend maker, it is likely that the guitar has suffered a major flood, it has been in Switzerland in recent years. Touch-up polish and a discrete case "a flood victim" seem to support this thesis. Similarly, the sound that I had at the beginning of my romance with her ​​was a small side tortured, almost cramped. However, the handle is not twisted, and with surprise, I see, every year, the sound gets better at speeds sometimes mind-blowing softly and reached peaks!</span>

Subjective approach: We can already see from afar that this guitar something special. In approaching the first impression is confirmed. The finish is flawless, the wood species is admirable, and I must admit, I spent over half an hour to look at and touch it before playing.

[9] No splits, I do not see it because the rest is concrete! As of 2/23/2007, I have found a name: it is now called "Waldrausch" (sounds of the forest )

UTILIZATION

From getting started, there is a supernatural playing comfort.

The handle is wide conscéquente, but is well suited to my large hands. By-cons, it is not a handle cut out of the log. The bottom of the handle (mechanical side) shallow attack to advance to the unusual V-shape. So, it was perfectly in hand along its length and it does not have that unpleasant feeling of lightness that meets the handle on other guitars. You can grab the handle and develop his ideas with sensuality. Whether it&#39;s blues or shredding, it stands out from the guitar-sleeved rights and purposes, but it gives him a unique personality. The varnish does not slip, however, some phenomenally and (e) s may find it annoying.

Note also that the body-neck junction, is an example of organic integration and ease of use and add that the mechanical is accurate and that the bridge and the nut are fulfilling their role to perfection.

Guitar supports strong Tirana.

Ergonomics at the note down. Attention to the dimensions of the monster! To find a flight will be the first difficulty, housed in a compact box mitsubishi will be an even more insurmountable. For me, the only solution, the back seat! Exit the solution of the cover in the back ... you would type on every door handle as the tube that starts earlier, than as a Russian sniper rifle. Play is a special sitting, but not impossible (snub to all those who said otherwise). By calibrating the guitar between her legs, no problem to repeat during the course of minutes. But it is clear that the guitar is meant to claims guitar live. For this exercise it excels.

Special mention for the extra thick coating, but also very resistant to, and I was surprised, even my combination resistant nail style "Dimmu Borgir". <img border="0" alt="" /> Another feature you might consider playing in all positions and all inclinations, mean by this that if you want to play it over the shoulder, behind you or vertically, it will house always perfectly in your palm.

Last, the relatively bearable for Titaneville an ogre like me, but it&#39;s still very solid as a tool.

[7] In short, a perfect guitar show, but who suffer from ergonomics.

SOUNDS

In sound, I shared now.

When empty, the guitar sounds superb. Open and direct attack (punchy) with a very strong joint around each note. But keeping a bit of blur, which gives the sound of the binder. Heat tumbling immediately behind with great intensity and regularity.

The Sustain is average to good. Note that, for him, keeps his guitar sustain for a time and this honorable regularly before it crumbles Bruque. The grain is tight, but retains a certain amplitude giving the versatility to use. Note that after the strike, the instrument comes to life, all the strings are set in motion, which will require to master their techniques before trying them mute offer. I note that this is the instrument most extreme I know about it, even my White Falcon is less nervous.

Some tapping exercises can realize that this guitar such research uses acrobatics. it is also at home for hunting along the handle. Once plugged in the guitar, it is surprising. Because this guitar has certainly sounds metal to sell. But the sounds are even more striking rocks. Of licks to the "are you gonna go my way", "Smoke on the Water" or "foxy lady" p assent with tremendous efficiency. The punch of the guitar gives a vintage open attack, the microphones can be calmed down to their simplest expression.

Big surprise even to clean which is great, a little tense, but precisely in the spirit telecaster with more sensuality and cleanliness that makes it even better. E Xtremely effective for the blues, I recommend for this area where she is at home.

We&#39;ve already had enough here to make an excellent guitar that deserves a 10/10 ... but ... there is still his specialty: DISTORTION! For there is no longer the land of what is normally done. It releases the microphone, it works a little eq and gives her a naturally compressed, very solid, loaded with bass frequencies, but that always gets to break any fingers. A little vibrato, a small shift and guitar subtly puts forward. Truly a professional quality guitar and I weigh my words, I&#39;m full.

Overall, the neck pickup is a little chubby as his sidekick easel, plus a "slash", bluffing if you dig up a Silver Jubilee (experiment). Both have enough heat to work alone. The bridge pickup is audibly more aggressive than the neck pickup and allows a receiver to ignite lamps quickly. I put 7 at the time. But did not own the amp able to express what this has scratches in the stomach. Now that my set went off and my fingers are starting to run wild, I love to use it in unlikely uses for which we do not necessarily think that kind of guitar. This is a hit it the most because it allows a game with a subtle and sensual side roots and then the next second, it sends an explosive sound worthy of the best albums of Metallica.

[10] As mentioned above, you can do anything and this in a nice quality. This note must be earned at home but is justified within seconds for the instrument.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years now and I love everything about this instrument as weird as me. I lost count of the guitars that I tried and I know I made a good choice.

I note again that the price / performance ratio is slightly disadvantageous, but we are dealing with a collection of guitar and promises to be a great future guitar legend. Strong interest in the collection because of its raretée, its coast is steady increase and have already received offers that exceeded $ 6,000. Yet no question of selling it, I feel that this instrument has a special trick, of unfathomably deep, as if the maker wanted to say goodbye with this skyscraper, a sort of last great apotheosis.

Not to be confused with the current model, built in series, my version was still a hand-made Custom Shop.

[10] If luck is on any given day you purchase the instrument at a price fair, do not hesitate a single second, it really is a guitar legend that will not let you rest easy once more that you have affected. Note [5] is the average home.
