Good Value,especially if you wouldn't mind changing a pick-up,Very HEAVY SOUNDING.

No features unique to anything else I couldn't get. 5 pound weight iis due to and soley to its cheap construction. Constructed ameturely at best.

Defected. Pickups had a bad ground, the screw for the strap pegs came out of the guitar. One of the tuners doesn't tune up unless you turn it for several rotations, then suddenly tunes throwing you off if you need to tune up slightly.

I honestly wouldn't buy this for 100 dollars.

It came defected. Got shocked due to a bad ground in the pickups. The fact that it had 7 strings was the only good thing about the guitar. You'd think its 5 pound weight would be a good thing, but its not. You can feel the cheapness in it, its lack of quality just reflects Deans disregard for customer satisfaction. Please, get the Schecter C-7. Its virtually the same guitar, same price better quality. I'll never buy another Dean product as long as they have the disregard towards the quality a customer deserves.

the pickups were muddy, sounded bad with my distrotion (boss metal zone mt2).

very solid. never came out of tune. the head stock was to heavy, the body its self was made of a very light cheap feeling wood.

not worth the money, if you want to play live or record you should save your money and buy a quality intsument. i got rid of mine in the firt 2 monthes

It has 7 strings for a low price. That's about the only feature that made me want to buy this guitar. Everything else is standard for a superstrat: 25.5" scale, 2 humbuckers, a tune-o-matic bridge, 24 frets, a volume and a tone knob, and a 3-way toggle. The pickups are decent, but nothing to brag about. The body is made out of paulownia which feels light and empty, like plastic. The finish is better in person, but still not very impressive.

This guitar is cheaply made from cheap components. Neck is thick and wide, almost like a Schecter. The hardware is pretty cheap, too. The nut broke off on the bottom string and I had to glue it back on. The pot for the tone knob also broke. That being said, I never gigged this guitar. All of these parts just broke while I was playing it in my bedroom. The frets aren't finished very well, and may scratch or cut your hands while you are playing.

For the price, it seemed like a good deal, but since purchasing this I have acquired 2 VERY nice ESP LTD 7 strings, and each one cost me less than this guitar. You'd be better off getting something used. Add in the cost of upgrades that you will want/need to perform to this guitar, and you probably could have gotten something better.

In the end, this is a tempting buy, but you're better off getting a used guitar with better features and quality. You can probably find a decent 7 string used for less than you will pay for this guitar.

Not a bad guitar. Feels comfortable and natural to chug around with. The stock pickups sound muddy so I replaced the bridge pup with an EMG 707x. The stock strings are D'Addario which I changed out right away as well (I prefer Ernie Ball). Overall, it's not a bad guitar for the price, but it's also not a great guitar. it's more of a 'project' guitar. I gave it a 5 because of all the little tweeks and adjustements I've had to make along with the replacements. Now that I think of it, I should have just sent it back before installing a new pup lol. Oh well.
