This review is from: Dean Michael Batio Guitar, Armored Flame Graphic with CaseAlder body and neck, ebony fretboard, big square abalone inlays, reasonably light, excellent build, finish is impeccable, not one tiny spot of paint missing or misplaced, which is quite a feat for such a complex paintjob. And what a paintjob ! no one is indifferent to its design and armored flame graphics ! I personally love it, agressive, unusual, and the amount of detail is impressive !Dean MAB1 comes with Floyd Rose original bridge and tuning locks, in chrome, top quality items, made to endure years of abuse, and with chrome tremolo. Tuners are Grover, also known to be excellent, and this guitar has 3 pick-ups, in HSH (humbucker-single-humbucker) configuration, with 5-position selector for flexibility (Bridge, Bridge+Middle, Middle, Middle+Neck, Neck). The Bridge humbucker is a EMG-81, a classic, active high-gain pick-up widely used for lead sounds in Rock and Metal. The middle single pick-up is a EMG SA, very clean with Strat-like sounds. The neck humbucker is a EMG-85, another classic, very warm sounds, full of middle, great for rhythm guitar playing. If you play Rock, Hard Rock or Metal, this configuration is hard to beat ! Top-quality and great-sounding !I ordered it from Amazon despite the other review, however fortunately my Dean MAB1 arrived perfectly set-up and playable right out of the box ! Action is reasonably low, and neck finish is smooth, both summing up to high playability. I have it for a month now, playing every day (not for long periods though since music is not my professional activity, far from it), and it is still in tune !A few things I don't like : the jack for the 1/4" guitar cable is in a weird position, but fortunately it doesn't really disturbs too much; the pins for the strap are also a bit different from what I am used to, and did not fit very well with my strap, but this is manageable, just got a new strap, as long as the guitar is safe and does not fall ! 8-O Not a cheap guitar, but a lot of value for the money, with fantastic sound, top-of-the-line components, and great build. Should last a lifetime, and I will review it again here if it doesn't ! ;-)...
This review is from: Dean Michael Batio Guitar, Armored Flame Graphic with CaseAmazon is a good place where they sell guitars but as the saying goes "BUSINESS IS BUSINESS! AND THEY DO NOT CARE WHAT YOUR SITUATION IS. If you open the box the moment that it gets delivered to you, I DON'T CARE IF THE ACTION IS HORRIBLE BUT THE GUITAR IS NICE LOOKING! YOU ARE STUCK WITH IT AND IF YOU WANT TO RETURN IT! OH WELL! YOU LOSE YOU PAY FOR RE-STOCKING FEE WHICH YOU LOSE ABOUT 15 TO 20% OF THE COST OF THE GUITAR even if you RETURNED it THE SAME DAY! THAT REALLY IS NOT FAIR! I was actually going to work out some kind of deal with them, I paid for this guitar $1,200 Dollars and Because the action on this guitar is High Action I was going to splurge and buy a Ernie Ball Music Man at the Price of $1,800 Dollars which is more in their pocket But NO! THAT IS NOT THE WAY THEY OPERATE. THEY DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING OTHER THEN PAY THE RE-STOCKING FEE SO NOW I ACTUALLY GAVE THEM $180 DOLLARS TO 240 DOLLAR TO FIND OUT THAT THE ACTION PLUS THIS GUITAR SUCKS! SO PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU BUY AND HOPE THAT YOU GET THE MERCHANDISE THE WAY YOU LIKE IT! PEACE! A VERY X-LOYAL CUSTOMER TO THIS WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT....
