Consuming and the American Dream?

I had to save the best for last. This is truly my most prized possession. My Dean Exotica FM is an electric acoustic is made up of Flame Maple in cherry red. Her name is Dinah (Dine-a) like Alice’s cat in Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. She boasts a rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl inlay and an internal tuner. With such amazing features you may think that she would cost at least $1000…but no…she is truly affordable, she only costs $572.50, trust me this is a bargain. You can buy a Dean online at site like Musicians Friend but I really do not suggest this. A guitar is like a pair of shoes…you have to try it on to truly know how it fits. What seems like kismet to one player may be awful and awkward to another. I got my guitar at a shop in Gainesville, VA called Classic Axe. I would rather patron a privately owned music shop than a Guitar Center or a Sam Ash…just out of principle. When you choose your instrument it is like falling in love…I have had experiences at the above mentioned store where the guitars were terribly out of tune, the customer service was lacking, or even heaven forbid, I wasn’t even allowed to try the instrument out…which is totally ridiculous.

This is Dinah…isn’t she beautiful?

The Dean Guitar company was founded by Dean Zelinsky in Tampa Florida in 1976. The Dean is a guitars player guitar, meaning that is has the same types of features as its fancy counterparts such as Gibson and Martin but its sleak style and quick action sets it apart from the rest. Any serious guitar player or guitar shop owner will stand behind their Dean’s whole heartedly. Many professional musicians argue that the Dean is the best guitar in the business. Rockstars including Trent Reznor, Sammy Hagar and the late Randy Rhodes used the Dean as their primary instrument. Even the late Dimebag Darrell from Pantera fame helped design many of the electric models. It is durable with an amazing sound quality that can match any Gibson or Martin.
