I had a Rosewood Dean Sweetwood that was really awesome. That's the only acoustic Dean guitar I've ever played that I liked. I do own many electric Deans though. Some of the 80s Zs and E'Lites are simply awesome. The Czech Dean electrics are also very, very nice.

Any positive remarks that I have heard about Dean acoustics have been very rare.

That is an electric guitar. You will not get much accurate feedback on this forum.

Google the Dean forum and ask over there.

I used to work in a guitar/music shop, and we had some Dean acoustics through that had a kind of quilt photo laminate "denim" coloured top, plastic finish a mile thick and HORRIBLE nut setups.
I think they were aimed at rock kids who played mostly electric, but they weren't good guitars, and they retailed at alot more than some much nicer instruments. They were horrible, I don't know if they do any higher end models, but those were some of the worst non entry level priced guitars I have ever seen.

it wouldn't be worth it for me, but maybe would be for you. depends on what you're looking for. the deans i tried didn't sound as good as other brands in their price range, and mostly seemed dedicated to looking cool at the cost of sound quality.

Some Dean guitars are ok. My daughter has a Dean acoustic which is so-so. Not bad for the money I guess.
But the guitar you mentioned is an electric. It appears to be their bottom level electric. I wouldn't expect much from an electric guitar that sells new for under $150. There are lots of strat-style electric guitars in this low-end price range; Dean is probably as good as anything else in that price range. Are you just learning ? or do you have some experience already ? Best to try something out if you can. |

Honestly, Dean is more of an electric guitar company (their electric guitars are very very good). It almost feels like they made acoustic guitars as an afterthough. Like they were told that because they are a guitar company they have to make acoustic also so they just slapped something together and popped a price tag on it.

A thread that might be good, is a thread that talks about electric guitar company's that probably should stay away from acoustic. |
