New Deans

[Joe_Steeler]

I have seen the new Dean Zelinski model, or at least the first model, of his new line. I even forgot the new company name DBZ or something like that.
I was hoping for a fresh start, a way for him to dispell the horrible mistakes of years past.

Well.....I guess you can't get grapes off a walnut tree. The fucker IS insane. It is a Soltero, or whatever it is that hideous beast Leslie West plays, with some tweaks. The axe he pushed out as an example of the "new" company is finished in some sort of mutant alligator finish that made me go to the bathroom and squeeze a 14" thick as a Coke can turd.
I don't know if I have said this before around here but Dean guitars are uglier than a kick in the nutz by David Beckham wearing a Dutch wooden clog.

Hey! to each its own and we all have opinions like we have assholes, but damn!! why? just what makes this man thinks those abortions are in any way goood looking or a piece of guitar craft.

Now there will be two (2) companies shitting out similar wooden and wire feces. You know what some advanced civilization, visiting earth in a million years, will say if they see those puke balls? those humans were totally fucked up and obviously didin't know their rock 'n roll form a microwave light-year transmission if it hit them in the face.

Way to go Mr. Deangelberry

Tell us how you really feel...Seriously, don't hold back.

[Joe_Steeler]

The only name they could hang on to was Dime and I have almost no doubt that his substance abuse had something to do with it.

Seriously now, I friend of mine use to work at Dean's headquarters in Tampa and he did tell the day Dime got killed Elliot & Co. were freaking out since they lost their man. I can also tell you, certain high ranking individuals were/are not in favor of the continued milking process but without Dime there wouldn't Dean. Sad isn't it?

Since Dime's passing no self respecting guitar player will come near them unless there is serious cash involved and they are desperate for names.
Look at their roster; Michael Schenker (had to do it after loosing EVERYTHING), Michael Angelo (oh please!!), Leslie West (one hit wonder has been) and the rest are freaks.

The only reason half the people flock to their NAMM booth is to see the bimbos they plucked out of a Hooter's or local strip club.

I am at a loss on that freaking company, I swear. My friend quit that place and there are a hundred stories that I could tell you in private since I don't want to tag him out.

Finally! Someone who sees things the way I do.

Is there a link to this attrocity you speak of? Wasnt Dean one of the guys who helped design the Soltero? So it would make sense his first model under the new guise would be such. Looks more like a PRS SC than a Les Paul tho.

I'll post it tomorrow, but I am telling you it is a Soltero. Nothing to be proud of, although Leslie West as fugly as he is just matches well with a Soltero. Two butts cancelling each other I guess.

That was an awesome review, cracked me up At last year's NAMM show I was briefly interviewed by one of the Dean girls for their webcam. I kept thinking to myself just don't ask me what the best guitars are because I WILL say Jackson!

Why does that look like it has snakeskin on it? Man that's ugly!

[JACKSONFREAK]

meh Looks like an aligator ate a PRS single Cut. whats with the cut outs on the treble side waist?

[T@rgetDrone]

OK. So, yeah, it's an ooogly ass Sluttero redo. I do kinda like the headstock though.... for a change. BUT, he just HAD to keep that butt ooogly reverse V style headstock for the V line. I mean, WTF! I MIGHT have bought countless Dean V's by now if not for that toyboy headstock. I wouldn't be caught dead sporting one in public. But to each their own. I guess there is no accounting for taste (or lack thereof). Old Dean, meet the new Dean. Same shit, just different. It's kind of a shame too. They make very playable guitars, even the imports. I'm sure some will see it otherwise but I can't help it. Every time I see that oversized reverse V headstock I think little kid's toys.

[Tim]

The man has a bit of a thing for ridiculous headstocks. He should go and work for BC Rich.

[GodOfRhythm]

I don't feel much differently, to be honest. I think he overestimated the amount of people that would stick with him because of his namesake.
