Re: PNGD
I had a Time Capsule USA Custom ML when they were being made by US Masters. It was a well crafted guitar but ridiculously overpriced, even after I got $600 knocked off the normal selling price. It still cost me 3 grand, and I did not feel it was built as well as my R8 Hamer Standard, or McCarty, and the Dean was still several hundred more expensive than those were. Great guitar, and I played the beejesus out of it, but overpriced.

Re: PNGD
And I thought a Gibson Les Paul was expensive.
They were probably more affordable when they first came out, but of course your paying for the name after Dean git established. Dean Zelinsky I think sold Dean guitars and went on a new venture with DBZ guitars. I think he sold that too and went on to a private stock series.:scratchch This is a pretty amazing and very light guitar...it sounds fantastic!

Re: PNGD
I bought my TCML around Xmas 2006 IIRC. Dean was still with them at the time, I am pretty sure. I really liked the guitars and still do, but at the prices they are/were charging for USA stuff, no way could I ever keep trying/buying one. Bad re-sale. I felt like I gave that guitar away considering the price I originally paid, but in realistic terms based on the quality of the instrument, it was a fair price.
I would love to have another ML (minus the V neck) in the same color as this Les Paul Classic , or a Soltero. the DBZ designs aesthetically do not do much for me.

Re: PNGD
I'm very picky myself when it comes to paying high prices. They are still good guitars but lower the prices I say. I know a member from the SG forum who bought a Soltero a few months back...he loves it! It's a black one and even though I'm more into the more traditional shape of a Les Paul, I thought the Soltero had that extra edge in the shape and styling. And you say the DBZ designs aesthetically do not do much for you...how about a DBZ Cavallo...I just love the shape and aesthetics on this beauty of a guitar.
