anyone like deans,ive been thinking about getting the keylargo performer series,or the performer tiger eye...anyone played or owned one?

[guitarfan19]

i havent played one but they do look like fairly nice instruments. altho there are only a few models that i would buy

[ButchTheBeerDrankinBear]

yea they look great and there electronics sound nice to..just wondering if any one new if the necks were fast or chubby? i live an hour and a 1/2 from the nearist guitar center so i usally order my stuff direct.

check out my sig. oh yeah!

but seriously. they're great guitars for a very affordable price. i've got a dean exotica dao (sig.) and it plays wonderfully. as for the key largo series, i haven't played any, but they do look like beautiful guitars. as far as tone goes (for mine, and other deans i've played in music stores)...the midrange is very much there. i've had the guitar for just over 3 years, and it's starting to age. i haven't had any neck problems( i.e.-head hasn't fallen off, neck hasn't warped.) its neck is a thin-line neck, and very sturdy. however, i did have to send it in to get its electronics worked on, they went bad pretty quickly, but, i think it was a defunt in my guitar (but it was still hell not having it for a week or so.) but, give me a pm if u need any more info. good luck and i hope u pick one up.

damn the one you got picuted looks nice,very nice..i went and talked to the guy at the local gospal music store (the only one around here) and he said he can get deans now...he used to only get the blairwoods(peavey). so i might be in luck beacuse he said he would order some. i hate i settled on a kona E/A but it was all i could find, a great guitar but the preamp and pickup is a little weak for my taste.

i've played a few deans i think they're pretty nice they have a nice visual appeal too i do like the exotic lookin bridge

[annoying_2001]

yeah, butch, you've gotta get a dean. they really are great guitars.

[epearson]

They seem okay, they are equipped pretty well on the electronics side, but they're not as strong acoustically as some others like Takamine, Samick and Seagull, for the price that is.
