Binkguitars - 05-00498 - Hello my name is Brian Wadkins I live in Louisville Ky, I've been Playing Deans for a little over a year now and would play nothing else. Playng another guitar would be like taking a knife to a gun fight why not bring the bazooka the very best a Dean. You'll feel like a star after you play these guitars.

Got My Dean about a month ago and have played it as much as i can.
Im 15 years old and Dean makes the best guitars on the planet.
I fell in love with my Vendetta the second I got my hands around her neck.
I’ve put that guitar thru 42 gigs so far and it still plays like the day I got it.
We play heavy ass music so I need one hell of a guitar to get the job done.
Thats why I just ordered my second one today.

Gregg Thauvette and Greg Gierszal rock out on their 1980 Vintage Dean V & Z.
Gregg gave me the 411 on Dean Guitars a few years ago, I bought the tobacco burst Z used online and I tell you there is no going back. It has a Bill Lawrence pickup in there and the tone is ridiculous. Best guitar ever made in my opinion.
Hey thanks for making us famous on DeanGuitars.com !
Best regards,
Greg Gierszal

hi im joe from london england and this is my Dean ML X this guitar just stands out from the crowed the hole feel of it is a work of art thanks Dean for making this guitar : )
My name is Luke, I love both my Deans (just got the 79 today actually). I've been a huge fan of Dimebag (Riff in Paradise bro and keep a seat open for me with a 1.75 of Crown waiting!) since the mid 90's when I was in high school and I got my MLX back in 98 and loved it right off the bat. I had the EMG's installed in it 3 years ago and it just has such an amazing tone to it.....then recently I was offered a 79 ML w/ a case for $400 but my friend's turned out to have gotten bad water damage sooooo when I called the music store to see how much the went for new the guy I talked to offered me his!! Same price with a case even. He just came over today and took me 3 riffs in and I was sold (I lie....just looking at it I was 95% sold). I'm also a ginormous fan of Zakk Wylde and BLS....I've been told my personal style blends elements from both of them without sounding exactly like either. I would gladly get more Deans....the ML is such a perfectly balanced guitar and sounds amazing even with the stock Zebra's but takes it to a whole new level when you put hotter pickups in!!!

First off, I have missed the boat with Dean. Never played them and didn't like them. My own personal predjudice and stupidity. I grew up in the states, so when I went back for the Razor Sharp 20 Year Reunion gig a few months ago I wanted to bring a guitar home. Due to the aussie dollar being way less than the US dollar, all I could afford was the Michael Schenker Standard V. He has been a guitar hero since '78, so I thought Why Not ? I'll give Dean a try.
My only concern was buying the "cheaper" version of the guitar. All doubts and worries were quickly cast aside when I plugged it in and played. THIS GUITAR RIPS better than any othe "V" I had ever owned. I love the tone, and love the feel of the way it plays.

Hi Dean, My name is Shannon Bailey, I'm 42 years old,and i live in Houston, Texas, and i just bought my first guitar ever, and it had to be a Dean..... I have 2 nephews that are very talented guitarist, i bought one of my nephews a dean dime-o-flame, since i am a big dimebag fan, mostly from the Pantera days, I remember seeing Pantera, back in 1983 for the first time when i got out of the U.S. Army, at Ft. Hood, Texas, and they used to always play at a club called Woodstock, then when they got Phil as their new singer, i lived and breathed Pantera ever since, and my other brother bought a Dean Schenker custom V, for my other nephew, i have already sent in pictures of them, so now here is mine, im not as talented as they are but i am going to keep learning, and i will be buying more deans for myself and for my 2 nephews, so keep on making the greatest guitars ever... thanks also Dean for not letting dimebags legend live on. R.I.P. Dimebag, you will be missed,, and thanks again Dean for a great guitar.. Shannon Bailey

Hi, i have a Dean Vendetta 4.0 and i love it! I love the sound and the awesome finish!!! Iin italy very few people have a Dean guitar and so, if you want, i can promote it italy if you help me to became famous!!!
Hi everybody, just to tell how this guitar is incredible.
The Vendetta 4.0 has just enough power to destroy any building.
Playing loud chords on this low tuned Dean, it's an Armaggeddon.
It looks terrible, guys! I'll never change for another one!
With my metal band Octavion, it gives the best, shows after shows!
Hell is back with Dean!
THANKS DEAN

Hi this is Scott Stetson from Milo, Maine. I currently play in a heavy metal band called Tomorrow's Tragedy and I am one of the guitar players. I have been playing guitar for about ten years, and I have been using Dean Guitars for almost two years. For on the road and in the studio I use Dean Guitars all the way. I use the Dime-O-Flame ML and the FBD Dimebag Tribute ML. I love these guitars to death. The neck is so fast and slick and I love the tone from these great sounding guitars. Recently I have bought the Dimebag Explosion Razorback and cant wait to bring it on the road and in the studio.
My biggest influences are Dimebag, Zakk Wylde, and Kerry King. Whenever I play my Deans I always have the memory of Dimebag with me. RIP Dimebag and thank you for all you have given me. Check Tomorrow's Tragedy out at...
I play in industrial band Hackmesser, and it's my lefty DS90EL.
I want to tell, that it really sounds differently with other guitars.
Using this one more then 3 years, I found the good way to express
myself, I tryed some other lefties, more and less expensive, but never feeled something close to
my Dean.
Hey this is Nate from Manitoba, canada. I currently own a Dean Vendetta 1.0 [Black] and wanted to say that it is the best guitar ive owned or played, the sound, quality and feeling is awesome. Thankz Dean, you RoCk!!

This is my Dean Playmate I snagged brand new for $100.00 which I was surprised I paid so little for. I just two days ago replaced it with your Baby V and I just gotta say you guys freakin rock when it comes to value and your pick ups are amazing. Thank you for being such a great guitar company and providing us broke ass musicians some good instruments. You can check out a video of me fingering my Playmate at www.myspace.com/h8foul

Yeah! Yeeaah! I love my Dean!! I have a beautiful acoustic that I like to play rock n' roll on. Yeah, like Master of Puppets even! The feel of it is so great that I simply won't pick up another guitar! Thanks dean, I can't wait be able to buy another!
textI just got my ML today and it is the best I have ever played. It is the cheaper of the Deans but the quality is great. It is very light! When the UPS guy dropped it off I thought they forgot to put the guitar in thats how light it is! Also it plays real fast. I will use Dean for life.

Hey, I'm Dave,
And I love my Dean! I've had an Evo Special Select for three years and havent once had an electronic problem with it. The pick ups are as vibrant and shredworthy as the first day I played it. Its suffered it's fair share of battle damage but the quality of its craftmenship has shown through. I LOVE MY DEAN SO MUCH! I'm in a progressive metal band called The Attrition and my Dean has proven extraordinarily versitile. I would love it if you would sponser me! I tell every guitarist I meet that my Dean is the best.
RIP DIME, Dave Breckner
Hey I got my Dean for Christmas and I love it. The guitar I got is a ZX model this thing rules. Thanks for all the glorious noise.

This is Heather Rose of Providence, RI. Here's a pic of me rocking out at Maxim Magazine's Model Search 2005! I wowed the crowd with my flame blue Dean Exotica FM! For years I searched for a company who made left handed guitars with the same care as they did their right-handed line and in 2003 I found it! My Dean doesn't leave my side on tour or on the go everyday! Whether is be an outside festival, a rockclub, or in the studio, the Exotica FM sound clear and rich! Thanks so much for putting the effort in! Keep it up!
Hey guys, just wanted to send in my pic and let you guys know how fucking kick-ass your guitars are.
I've known about Dean Guitars for as long as I've known about Dimebag and MAB. I got my first chance to play one when MMI music in Mobile started carrying Deans... coincidentally, the same day I played my first Dean was also the day that MAB was having a clinic... needless to say I stuck around there all day. I met MAB, and on top of that, he played a few of his songs on the guitar that I bought... so now not only do I have one of the best guitars in the world, I also have a guitar played by the man himself. Thank you Mr. Zelinsky.
hey guys my name is James "J.P." Rybicki, I started playin guitar about 2 years ago and used this little cheap immitation strat. So obviously I needed a new guitar. I shoped around for a few months and then I found it. My Dean EVO XM. It was only $100 so at first i was hesitant. then one day at the mall i was at the music store and i noticed it. They had my EVO. so i plugged in and was blown away. This was an awesome guitar at a really cheap price. so after my birthday i took all of my money and bought one. I cannot say how much I love this thing. All I can say is it rocks. Once I save up the money I plan on putting in some EMG pickups and Grover Tuners but even if i dont it is still an awesome guitar.
peace out

Hey Dean Fans,
This is Mark Wethern (Nickname FORREST) coming to you from
Rancho Cucamonga CA.
I Started Playing Guitar when I was 10 years old. Though the years I have had a Jackson Guitar, an Ibanez Guitar but nothing came close to my purchase of a Dean Dime-O-Flame ML Guitar. I Just fell in love with it. It feels good to know that I have something different for a change, instead of some plain old white guitar.
See Ya at the NAMM Show. FORREST A.K.A. Mark Wethern
Hey Mike here 17 years old, from BRADFORD – ENGLAND. i play in a metal band called MILITIA. I been play a DEAN “Z” TOUR BASS, it’s absolutely brilliant. Best bass I’ve played yet.

I’m influenced by bands such as Manowar, Blind Guardian, Mr. Big, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Pantera, Metallica…(metal).I chose the DEAN because it was immense, its solid as a rock, the EMG pickups are beyond good and it fits the genre I play perfectly. I’ve played loads of bass’s and non compare to DEANS!! YES!!!!!! thanx for making the best guitars in the world! check my site www.myspace.com/metal_mike or my bands (MILITIA) site www.myspace.com/militiauk
