Dean Tradition Acoustic Guitar Pack with Gig Bag, Pitch Pipe and Picks

I purchased the Dean guitar for my grandson. It arrived in good shape with adequate packaging to assure no damage was done in transport. I have a Martin D-42 that I play, which is a beautiful instrument. I was surprised at the volume and tonal quality of the Dean. The action is low now with no buzz, after I adjusted the truss rod. The workmanship of the guitar is of good quality. I would recommend this guitar for a beginning guitar or intermediate guitar player. Amazon.com's price was about 1/2 the cost compared to other .com music stores.

This guitar is beautiful. I purchased this guitar for $90 in the Natural Gloss finish. Mahogany back and sides, solid spruce top, rosewood fingerboard. It does not look like a cheap guitar, it does not play like a cheap guitar and it does not sound like a cheap guitar. This guitar is advertised as a beginner guitar but I know plenty of skilled guitar players that don't even have guitars this nice.

The Dean Tradition AK48 has a MSRP of $338.88 with most retailers selling it for $219 (Dean Tradition Acoustic Guitar with Hardshell Case). That's for the guitar and a hardshell case. The package is more than $100 cheaper than the guitar/case, but it also includes a gig bag, pitch pipe (mine came with a digital tuner), and picks. This is probably everything that most people will need.

I just got this guitar today, and played it for 3 hours straight. It looks great, and sounds even better. Once I tuned it up, it held a tune the whole time I played. I have a Dean Exotica that is much more expensive, and bought this one as my practice guitar. In all honesty, this one might actually have a better sound. This is a great guitar for the money. It arrived very well packaged, and is a major upgrade from my old practice guitar (Gibson Maestro). Dean has a great line up of guitars, and this one is no exception. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a solid beginner or intermediate guitar.
