Cheers for the nice comments. Its hardly a great guitar, it passes as an OK one, really. Great for the price. Really good actually. Dean has never failed at this, in my eperience.
The neck profile is almost the same as the guitar I did most of my early learning on (my jacskon), so it just fell into my hands. I love that shallow - C
I trust bolt ons more that sets: you can see the quality of the fit, and glue dampens vibration so a bad set with a lot of glue is about the worst thing you can get. But, yeah, Explorers look better in set or thru, but asthetics must bow to sense (imo).
I quite like the headstock. Goes well with the explorer body.
I will upgrade it at some point, but its suprisingly good as it is. A little harsh, but pretty tight, little distinction between bridge and neck is dissapointing and obvious room for improvment. But I need to give it the MDV treatment first: I have a set of 12-54 just begging to go in it, pick a tuning and s how she fairs!
