I currently own the boca six string thinking a semi hollow body would help fatten the tone , and does it. I replace the pickups with the dimebag darrell double hmmbuckers .. now just pass the gravy. best built guitar i've ever owned. Dean's craftsmanship reaaly shines through. Absolutly a great Axe to have in your arsenal!! Get One

I love this 12 stringed creature. Only tuned it twice,holds very well for me. For balance I use a taylor strap and tie at the nut...works good for me. From jingle jangle to blues with an edge...action is nice and extremly easy to play. I'm very happy :-)

I bought a Boca 12 string blem five years ago. It took me two weeks to actually find the blem, a glob of glue inside the F hole. It plays very well with a great neck profile that's not too beefy or too flimsy. It sounds great. I'm considering buying the six string version as well.

I flipped the magnet over in the neck pickup (to put it out of phase) and now the tone is perfect for me: Nice jangle out of the bridge pickup, great blend out of both, and a clean articulate neck pickup tone(no more mud). I am going to put a slightly lighter set of strings on it and sand the back of the neck just a little to ease hand fatigue(I have beefy hands). I would buy this guitar all over again, just sooner.

I purchased this guitar essentially sight unseen from MF showroom/warehouse, based mostly on reviews read here and on Harmony-Central. I must echo most every comment made previously about the positive merits of this guitar. The setup and action straight out of the box is the best I have seen over a span of more guitars than I can remember. While some reviewers are technically correct about the 12-saddle bridge, I am telling you that if you know how to set your intonation properly for the larger of the two strings from G down to low E, you will be fine on the upper octave. More moving parts and screws and smaller saddles and notches do not produce more stability, expecially when played hard. I bought the Amberburst, which is a faux flamed maple, and the mahogany body, maple neck, and fingerboard are perfect. Resonance and sustain for a bolt-on neck rivals any set neck guitar, and the semi-hollowbody with this wood imparts a tone quality all it's own. I sold the zebra humbuckers, replacing them with GFS Dream 90's, 250K pots, and a .015uF orange drop capacitor, and WOW; the pick attack dynamics and high end harmonics are there. Only one other reviewer got the case fit issue correct: Buy the Dean EVO case and don't mess around squeezing this nice guitar into some LP-style case. With two extra packs of Ernie Ball Light 12's(9-46), the case, and guitar ran me right at $500! You couldn't begin to touch a Ric 330-12 for less than 3X that. Those who complain about tuning stability need to re-learn how to properly wind and "lock" the loose ends of their strings onto the tuner posts. The neck is a 16" radius, and is VERY easy to play and part of the reason for the ability to have such a low action. The F-holes are NOT large enough to install full-size pots, and that is the ONLY complaint I have about this guitar. I typically play this guitar through an EH Soul Preacher compressor/sustainer, and this combination really responds. It is a wonderful, extremely well-made, and unique instrument and will have me looking at Dean more often.

Well, this is a pretty cool guitar, especially seeing as the price is so low!! I got it in the Cherry Sunburst finish, which looks great. There are two drawbacks, though: The neck is REALLY heavy--heavy enough that my shoulder sometimes hurts after playing it. Also, although I love the sound of this guitar, it doesn't really sound like the George Harrison/Roger McGuinn stuff that you'd expect it to sound like. Overall, this guitar is great if you are on a low budget, like me, and maybe if you've got a lot in your pocket, too...but maybe you want to save up for something nicer that doesn't injure your shoulder...I don't know...
