I received this guitar for my birthday and I was very excited play it as I had wanted a new acoustic bass for many years.  As I started to play, it became apparent very quickly that this guitar was a cheap piece of junk. I have played many Dean guitars over the years and I have always thought that Dean made a quality product. The action on this instrument is terrible. The last several frets were actually touching the stings. Also, the end of the frets were extremely sharp and made it almost impossible to play. Dean obviously has no quality control with this product. Buyer beware!!!
