Dean Review: Exotica Freedom FMSL TBK

History:

Purchase: I ordered this unit from,"Oklahoma city guitars".I saw it on ebay and thought it was breathtakingly beautiful.I immediately bid on it and one it for $499.00 with a case.The guitar with a case lists for about $700.00

What I Like About This Dean Exotica Freedom FMSL TBK: First of all looks!!!It has a gray and black flamed maple finish,ivory white binding all around the neck and body,an abilone rosette, and most importantly,there is an inlay of the arm and torch of the statue of liberty shooting up the fretboard in mother of pearl.The smoke from the torch spells freedom,(also in mother of pearl).The guitar has great projection and sounds wonderful plugged in.

What I Do NOT Like About The Dean Exotica Freedom FMSL TBK: the inner lining is falling out of The case it came with.The strings it came with were of low quality and made the guitar sound horrible.

Dean Exotica Freedom FMSL TBK Quality Rating: The construction is excellent.The overall quality is that of a $2000.00 guitar

Review Summary: This guitar is a limited edition.It commemerates a very difficult time in our history.As a work of art,it conveys patriotism and freedom in a very tasteful way.The maple gives it a very bold distinct sound and the electronics are excellent.

Rating of this Dean product: 5
