Somewhat misleading

I just worked on one of these for a friend.  The neck is easily adjustable, but it flexs alot.  In other words with the strings off the neck moves significantly, then when you put new strings back on it, the neck comes back, but it moves a lot. The other thing.  The ad or description says it is flamed maple.  That is partly true.  It is flamed maple veneer over a laminated wood base.  They should be more clear about this.

I received my Dean Exotica with great anticipation.  Out of the box, for the price, it was a handsome instrument and I was anxious to plug it in.  Well, the old story is true.  You can put lipstick on a pig but it is still a pig!  The sound was tinny and hollow.  The strings were too far from the fret board and buzzed like a swarm of angry hornets.  I say save you dough and shoot for something with a little soul.

First of all...the action on this guitar is NOT low at all!  In fact the action is high off the neck, and uncomfortable.  It looks good in person, that's not the problem.  The action is not good at all, i couldn't get past that.  I play it for about thirty seconds, packed it up and returned it.  Not worth it.

Really wanted to like this 12 string.  The frets were inset to low into the guitar neck so that even when you pushed as hard as possible, the strings did not make a solid connection and therefore "buzzed" and was not playable.  When using a capo it got somewhat better at the 5th fret but at the lower frets, even with a capo as tight as possible, the strings could not be pressed down enough due to the fret wires being too low.  Very dissappointed.
