I know you guys already know this but I'll say it anyway.....it's the best playing guitar I've ever owned. It's perfect in every way. I only started back playing a couple of weeks ago and the first guitar I picked up was my PRS CU22. I thought it played pretty good. Now that I have played the Z, that PRS is banished to the closet. Heck it tears up my old buddy, the Les Paul. This is the guitar I remember from years back. It's so easy to play, I'm just shocked.
The only thing I have to get used to is the pups, they sure are wired different from a Les Paul. All the tones I get are killer.
The dealer I bought it from forgot to send the booklet and stuff, I e-mailed Dean to see if they would mail it. In the meantime, what guage string is on my USA TC Z?
To sum up, this axe is more than I could ever hope for and I plan rock the house down for many years to come. Dean is the only one for me!

You got a 99 cent cord. You got the deluxe model. Usually you get the 49 cent model. |

Well, since they don't like paperwork that much, do you guys know what gauge strings are on the Z. The guy @ Dave's Guitar thought it was 10's but wasn't sure. Maybe they are, they just feel lighter. |

I love GHS BTW...I love almost any brand strings, never heard much difference! |

Your probably right about the brands, I've just always use GHS. I guess they are 10's, they feel like 8's or something. The action just floors me.
Thanks for the info.
ps: my other guitars won't even look me in the eyes anymore.   |

Bet you're loving it! I have used Daddarrio 10-46's forever on my guitars. They make my Dean V sing! |

I'll play anything but Ddario's or however you spell it. Those things constantly break within the first couple of hours. I think they're unreliable to say the least. But I'll play any strings really as long as they're 50something to 10 (ie heavy) I don't mind. I'm not too precious about strings and picks and stuff. It's all pretty good.
Speaking of picks, has anyone tried a Jellyfish yet? Interesting... |
