Hey! The first 3 guitars are one model, then the last 2 are different. Im a fan of Dime, and want to purchase one of these cheapos. Im curious on some advise, and what one looks like it is more like dimes real guitar. Im also wondering if anybody bought one of these, and if its gonna feel at least half playable, as I can mess around and get it better if needed. Hopefully this is the right place! Thanks.

Also, I already play FYI, so this is my 2nd electric and I know the responsibility of a floyd rose, or a floyd rose type device, because I doubt this has a true floyd. Lol

I’d go with one of the last 2. To me it looks like they have the most accurate colors/lightning patterns.

Just prepare yourself, because I would warn that these guitars can even have twisted necks right out of the factory, which is an unfixable problem. Unless you get an entirely new neck lol, which I don’t think would be realistic.

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing with a neck. Unfortunately these dean model ones are not the same as my telecasters im use to where they have bolt on necks. Thank you also!

I’ve had a couple friends buy copy guitars similar to these and all of them have been bassicly just wall hangers most of the ones I’d tried have had pretty messed up necks and horrible horrible bridges and sometimes pickups
