I'm not good with making decisions between guitars, but i finally did it, i chose a Dean Z Black Gold over an Ibanez RG1570, some people might say i'm crazy for that but i like the Dean more. I just got a quote from that Singing Chicken site someone posted and they said they could knock it down from £599 to £399!!
I just need to gather up the rest of the money i need which might take a while but not that long.

Dean Z Black Gold
* Mahogany Body and Neck
* Set Neck
* Flame Maple Top
* Rosewood Fretboard
* Pearl Black Inlay
* "Black Gold" 12th Fret Inlay
* Gold Hardware
* Grover Tuners
* 2 random cr@p humbuckers getting changed to BKP straight away :D

Nice axe!

Miracle Man set would rule in that fiddle!

nice guitar, man. I wouldn't say you're mad taking it over an rg1570- they're two totally different styles of guitar!

:drink:

I cant say I like the dean headstocks atall, but the body on that guitar is pretty nice!

I just thought they'd suit the guitar, lol. It's a pretty powerful and modern pickup (much like the guitar), and is described as harnessing "all the drama of thunder and lightning"! C'mon, she's screaming out for cold sweats man. It'd sound HUGE.

nice choice, I love Dean Vees :D

I'm on the lookout for an old 80s Dean Vee, must be black though with original vee tailpiece (no Khaler/floyd hack jobs)

:twisted:

They have the '79 series.

I think he means a proper 80s one. Anyway, good choice, I'm seriously jealous. I'm gonna have to get some pennies together for that vendetta ASAP.

Crazy_Joe · « **Reply #12 on:** June 01, 2006, 11:39:09 PM »

Ahh right, they might be hard to find. (the 80's vee)
Which Dean Vendetta is it?

Edit: Ahh i see there is only one.

Then you'll be glad you got the Dean! The miracle man only complements the mahogany/maple body woods.

I really want burnt chrome covers, but i'm not sure if they will go with the guitar, i'm either getting camo or burnt chrome, one of them must go with the guitar, i don't want a plain finish because this is one of the reasons why i like BKP, the finishes are amazing.
I tried to simulate what it would look like, the burnt chrome one doesn't look like it will go in that picture:(
Also the in the camo one i think i put distressed covers there instead of camo lol.
