Have any of you tried one of these out? I've been eyeballing them for a couple of weeks or so. They look real nice.

Hey Skullkrusher, I can help you out there.
I have had my Dean Chafin Del Sol (the transparent red one) for about a year and a half.
I think it's a fantastic guitar. The woods look of higher quality than my Gibson sadly (the mahogany is drop dead gorgeous). The construction is pretty good. It's not perfect, there was a little spot or two on mine where the dye leaked a bit onto the binding, but overall it is pretty great. The tuners and switches and overall electronics are very good. The pickups offer a solid jazz tone. Plugged in it is warm and airey.
I'm thinking of switching out the pups now because I want something that's a bit more chimey, but the actual guitar I'd be crazy to get rid of. The inlays were what originally snagged me in and they definitely add a unique vibe to it.
I recommend trying one out and getting a feel for it yourself. I love mine, not as much as my hot rodded Gibby, but it has it's own place in my guitar collection. The playability on mine was fantastic so maybe it's a quality control issue : / .Originally posted by kevlar3000I learned a long time ago that the only thing that mattered regarding tone was what my ears thought.Originally posted by ZerberusBetter is often the enemy of goodOriginally posted by ginormousCovers feed the body, originals feed the soul.

Check out my first recorded mp3 from my website (the www link in my post). That will give you a basic idea of the tone... although the quality is pretty bad.Originally posted by kevlar3000I learned a long time ago that the only thing that mattered regarding tone was what my ears thought.Originally posted by ZerberusBetter is often the enemy of goodOriginally posted by ginormousCovers feed the body, originals feed the soul.
