I got this guitar with the quilt black finish on it for my 12th Birthday. Almost 8 years later, I'm still in love with it. It plays really smooth and can fit just about any style you like, which is good because I play a lot of them. When the toggle switch is up, it makes an amazing blues sound. With it down, it will make anything from classic rock to metal. I just can express enough how awesome this guitar is. I recommend it to just about anyone.

I own the 2001 version of this guitar. Mine is pretty sweet even though I picked it up second hand. I was willing to live the blemishes that were on the back of the body because the price was right. Mine has the solid mahogany body/neck with Grover tuners and also has a flamed maple top not the quilted top as shown on these guitars. Mine is also in Trans Amber finish and is gorgeous. It is equipped with Deans own overwound high output pups with coil taps on both pup. This guitar sounds amazing when drop tuned and I would recommend installing 10-46 guage strings on this guitar, It sounded kind of thin to me when I first got it but once I put 10-46 strings on it , it just sings now!

Those of you looking at Les Paul's or Les Paul type guitars , look no further then this one here! It has been said that these Dean Evo Specials are among the best guitars Dean make and for an intermediately priced instrument what else could you ask for. Great Great Guitar!

Very nice, but...

I bought mine 3 years ago, I already had a Fender Strat and wanted a Les Paul type of guitar but not wanted to pay the big bucks for a real Les Paul, I tested various guitars and definitely the EVO was the best. I have to admit the guitar has lost some of its quality in 3 years of sporadic use (I do not play live). But for that price is a great intermediate guitar or a second guitar. Now in a more detailed description: Looks: Probably the best feature of the guitar, it looks like an expensive guitar. Electronics: Decent, the pick ups are kind of weak, but again for the price… Set Up: Very bad, the action was terrible, but fixable… Versatibility : To be fair is more than I expected but do not expect to see it in the hands of a professional guitar player.

This guitar is just amazing! For the price you get an excellent quality instrument that sounds just as good as it looks! I have the Flamed Amber Burst and it is quite striking. Solid Mahogany body with a flamed maple top with a mahogany set neck adds tone and sustain that is incredible. The pickups are good on it they are of medium/high output and harmonics are easily achieved. I am planning to replace the pups with the GFS Zebra Crunchy rails.

Dean EVO Special Trans Amberburst.

This is a beautiful guitar! Not only does it look great, but it plays great too. It has a special v neck at the joint and this makes the high frets really easy to get to. It sounds awesome and has great sustain. It has a really fast neck too! I love this guitar. The only reason I gave it a nine overall is because it only has the two control knobs. I'm used to four knobs. I would definitely recommend this guitar to anyone who wants a great guitar at an awesome price! Buy it!!!
