This brand Dean Guitars and model Avalanche was my first guitar as I started to learn playing guitar. Years ago I sold the real one, it was a black one, but short time ago I found this one and bought it to get the same feeling as when I was a young one :-).
Overall I was impressed by the sounds and playability. Anyway it was fun to play it again and making this video and later I re-sold it again.
Pros
sounds in all pickup positions, playability, low action playability, nice quilt maple top
Cons
it is not the lightest guitar out there, might be a reason why I sold my first one finally, sharp fret board edges, space between the big grover tuners limited to turn them without touching other tuners...
