New Schenker V

[probo_squad_henry]

Michael Schenker has some new signature guitars out, and one of them is finally the one I've been waiting for. I love the style of his guitars, but I wanted a Korean made one (don't have the money to go American made) that was just black and white. No flames, no yin yang, just the two colors. Dean finally did it.

Nice enough aside from the headstock.

Dean Vs are sweet for the most part. I have been known to change pickups in mine. Those in your new one are real nice sounding in the couple guitars I have played them in.

Yeah, I too hated that headstock for 25 years before getting my first Dean. Now I have to many and not enough. :headbang:

While not Dean Schenkers they are a pair of sweet Dean Vs. These are Czech made Korina Vs. I call these two Blondes, Tatiana and Tanya.

I personally like the look of the headstock, especially on the V's. It just seems to fit perfectly. I have been known to say I wished it had been a tad smaller at times, but Dean is proud of it and not afraid to rock it....I like that. I've also played plenty of great sounding Deans, of all shapes and sizes.

Yea the V headstock on the V is pretty cool. It looks good on the ML too. I prefer a 6-in-line on the other models though

Re: New Schenker V

I'm not the biggest fan of that headstock but it does work with a V.

Sorry for the hijack but I'd like to see those Dean basses Mr BTMN.

When I get some more money I'm definitely getting a new guitar. It's either gonna be this, the Balaguer Hyperion, or the Jackson Christian Andreu V as of now.

The only schenkers in my price range are super flashy guitars with flames or yin yangs and stuff on them, I just wanted a plain white and black one. The plain ones were either $300 Chinese guitars or $3000 American custom runs until they came out with this one
