Dean Exotica Quilted Ash Acoustic-Electric Guitar  

I have owned a variety of acoustic guitars over the years and this is by far the best one I have ever owned. The sound is just what I was looking for. No dead frets or buzzing out of the box. The tuner took a minute for me to understand what I was looking at, but once I played with it for a minute or two I got it tuned right up. The only thing that I didn't like is the color. The black is awesome, but there is gold(ish) trim that really stands out. You can't really see it in the pictures and I did not expect to see it when I opened the box. So it was a little shocking at first. But it grew on me and adds a very unique look to it. The hardest part was finding a strap that compliments that look.
