Whitefang Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 No doubt NOT the kind of publicity they would have wanted. Whitefang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Between this and the fact that they are no longer allowed to copy Gibsons shapes.. Seems their days may be done... Watch the prices of second hand ones shoot up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 $420,000. Go big or go home. Your gonna go to jail. You could have at least stolen over a million. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I never liked them anyway, they always looked like cheap imitations to me. But then, I never played one, so I could be wrong. I like my Gibson, Epiphone and Parker. That's enough for me. Notes ♫ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I played a few American Deans way back then, we sold them, when LoverBoy was the only band that actually used them. There was a reason for that. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kansas used them and I think Molly Hatchet too, and I think that guy from Slayer that had the big spikey wrist bands on. Edited August 9, 2022 by Sgt.

Dave F Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Their artist list looks fairly impressive ( I haven't heard of any of them) and the prices are reasonable enough to attract the younger crowd so I don't see anything wrong with them. I know they've had some bigger name sig models in the past.

I though he was a singer where the band dresses like b-itches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 I used to own a beautifully Hawaiian engraved all chrome Steel Electric Resonator Guitar. It was awesome to look at. I never bonded with it & sold it. I am still looking for the right one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NighthawkChris Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Eric Peterson from Testament. Saw him recently and had a nice collection of Deans displayed on side of the stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are one of my most favorite bands. I was glad they were in good form still when I saw them back in May this year. When they come back to Detroit I’ll go see them again. Still an active band from what I can tell after all these years too… planning on releasing another album from what I hear which drops next year.
