Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have to preface this review with a comment on Amazon. At first, I was very upset when my guitar arrived, as it was a left-handed model, when I had ordered a right hand version. Amazon was great, sending out my replacement righty guitar NEXT DAY FedEx! I had barely sent back the left hand model when the righty arrived at my door step. Fantastic customer service from Amazon!Product: Dean Tradition S2, Gloss Natural
Price Paid: $110 (usually sells here for $225)
Sound: Sounds great! I was expecting a slight step up from other entry level guitars, but this sounds way better than I had figured it would. Very full deep sound from the solid spruce top.
Action/Playability: Very easy to play. It has taken me a few soungs to get used to the scale, as I had been using my daughters Jr. sized guitar, but once that was done, I have had no problems. The neck is straight and true, and the action is good.
Craftsmanship/Reliability: Very beautiful guitar. The tortoise binding gives this guitar an extra bit of class, and the wood is beautiful. As to reliability - I've only had it a short time, but it seems very solid.
Overall Rating: Five stars. I was hoping to get a nicer guitar than is typically available in my budget (I was planning to spend ~$125), and the sale on this Dean was just what I was looking for. Most in the lower price range are typically poorly made, or don't sound that good. Now, I can't say for sure that I would have bought this particular model if my budget had been $225, so maybe my review is a bit biased by the sale price I paid. Either way, I'm a very satisfied Amazon and Dean customer!
