I've just started to pay attention to Dean and am starting to GAS for one. I've known about them for a long time but never really looked at them or played one. The more I look at them now, they have some seriously b!tchin' stuff. There are a couple that I'm thinking of if Robert can't get me the V Custom. This:
Or this:

I've always wanted to get a cheap(ish) one to mod and tinker around with.

I bought a Dean Icon used for 50 a few years back. It was MIK and a beautiful grey burst over a quilted maple top. It had the Dean "tulip" style headstock shape which was great for me because not really a fan of the wide V headstock that most dean guitars sport.
Just an overall great guitar.
Alas, I found that the neck was cracked near the headstock and since it has a set neck...not much I can do about it. Cost of the repair is more than what I can get another for.
I still have it, though I've pillaged most of the electronics for other guitars. now it just sits in a gig bag taking up space.
