[BlackCat]

I like it.

 

[Deep Eddy]

I like explorers, but I was never a fan of the Dean headstock. Like the color.

 

[Coralkong]

I hate everything about that, and the price is outrageous, IMHO.

 

[Kerouac]

Love it.... I love me some Deans. Price might be a bit high as listed but I wouldn't say it's unreasonable.

 

[Lerxst]

Meh...didn't really do anything for me new so I'm not about to drop that kinda cash on a beat used one.

Meh

[Denverdave]

I'm not a fan of the Explorer body style so that gets a big 'Meh'.

 

[Mark Wein]

I don't think that the price is that out of line for an old Dean.

 

[Modern Saint]

It is funny because I wanted one in my younger daze - like 30 years ago.....

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Price aside, (cause I would not pay it), I kinda like that particular Dean. Even with the weird headstock. I like the combo of colors and the zebra pups.

"That headstock sucks," said Tom pointedly.

Oh wait... wrong thread.

All headstocks are beautiful.

All headstocks are beautiful.

Not this shit again...lol.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Not this shit again...lol.

Let's work together to end headstock prejudice in our lifetime.

[Peeker]

y;know...for some reason, teh headstock works for me on this one.

would I buy it?
nope.

would I take it for free?
sure!
and then trade it for something else.

but I don't hate it, like I usually do with Deans.

 

[sunvalleylaw]

I think it is because the Dean wings match the zebra pups and somehow it ties it together better. And the overall effect is warm looking. Makes it better somehow.
