One more funny thing about the Dean headstock design.... doesn't it create more opportunity for binding in the nut with such a wide splay to the tuners? Especially with a trem system (I know its a vibrato turds ...lol).
I would think if they wanted a radical headstock statement they would consider this.... or maybe it's not a big deal? but people b*itch about Gibson's headstock splay and it's not as close to as extreme as Dean's“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

But people b*tch about Gibson with regards to this design issue but I never hear people point out that if you suffer these issues with Gibbys.... technically Deans will be even more problematic from a design stand point.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

I say slap on a locking nut and enjoy the messed up design.

Dean doesn't really make any non-locking trim guitars, so non issue.Originally posted by Bad City
