It looks great from here guys! Keep up the great work, and hopefully one day I’ll be able to have a USA Dean Soltero gracing my presence.
I can’t wait to see what it’s going to look like with that Tiger’s Eye finish!
Man this is gonna be another fine Dean guitar…how could i get my own dean made?
Help me get a custom Dean!!!
nice, I would sell my soul to get a custom dean guitar! I live in Iceland and I have about 50.000 in Icelandic cash, if there is any possible way for me to get my dream guitar from dean guitars, then I would sell anything I have, just to afford it, btw, if I can get one custom guitar like I want, just send me a message on msp I’m not often on msn, c-ya
Nice job so far, guys. I’m really liking the recessed part on the back where the neck and body bind together; same idea as the RC7, I’m guessing.
The circles on the side fret markers look like they would take some skill with a brush; really well done though. I didn’t really read what all the spec’s were gonna be on this custom piece at first, so I thought that was going to be LED lit fret markers; but I just noticed that they’re glow in the dark, which is just as cool. If you could make a binding to go all the way up and down the neck (and maybe around the headstock and entire body) that could REALLY add some life to this piece when the lights go out!
Aight, I’ve talked too much. Keep up the awesome work guys. Dean Guitars for life!
