- Dean V-coustic Flying V Acoustic Abberation.
guitarz.blogspot.com: Oh Dean, you is so metal. Leave it to Dean Guitars, purveyors of all fine "Rock" guitars, to come up with an acoustic Flying V. I can just imagine the meeting they head at head office circa 1987, all spandex and cocaine. " This...
- Dean Ml Bass - Vintage 1981 Made In Usa
guitarz.blogspot.com: The Dean ML design is a hybrid between Gibson's Explorer and Flying V models. I've never been too struck by the shape of it until I saw this original American-made Dean ML bass from 1981. I guess some designs work better...

I'm usually not a fan of custom paint job but sometimes something stands out of the lot, like this Dean Psychobilly Picasso - one of three models of the short lived mid-2000s Psychobilly series. I like how the classic full hollow-body is subverted by the abstract pattern painted on its top - though it its clearly inspired by characteristic later paper cutouts of French master Henri Matisse and not Pablo Picasso at all - and the black hardware on top of that.
It was not an expensive model, and from the reviews I could read - I myself never played a Dean (but I will soon, I expect a new Dean V any day...) - if the pickups of basic Dean models can be quite muddy (whatever that means, I never really understood this word, like 75% of guitar sound description vocabulary), they have fine bodies and neck, and are good starting point to diverse upgrades.
