    Customer Reviews:

    (edit) Well this review always had 5 stars because, anyone who's picked up this guitar knows, it is f-ing awesome in all regards! Beautiful, heavy (not overly), solid, detail to the smallest degree, Jumbo sized neck and frets to allow for easier solos and chords, Simple! (Volume, tone, period). Tuning - This had me very upset the ...

  • But what if I want an LP style guitar, 7 strings, HSH config, Original floyd rose, swamp ash body with a quilted maple top, set neck/neckthrough maple neck with a maple fretboard, scalloped frets from fret 17 and up, a killswitch for good measure, and a deep blue finish to it... Where do I go??? :c

  • Paul does a great job as always, but really, what seperates this from every other LP style guitar on the market?

  • 1:47 lol their aren't many of them, how bout this:

    for those of you that want a dean deceiver fmf guitar, you'll like this one lol.

  • I'm worried that this guitar will have a very thick neck, and it will be hard to play fast on it. Should I be worried about this?

  • @SmashinSlashin Decievers play great & neck isn't huge. It's medium C shaped. I prefer the look, feel & playability of a Dean Soltero myself. They have a sweet V shaped neck profile. They totally kick the shit out of Les Pauls.

  • sweet guitar, I have been looking for that tone and style guitar foe a long time ,awesome playing as always paul!

  • pauls the man...every review has different runs that he does and different sounds

  • Every Paul R reviews- Hi, I'm Paul from guitar world, and this is the ___________. *plays fast paul riff*

    All in all, it's a great guitar

  • he plays guitar without soul. for his style its good but every video sounds exactly the same!!!!

  • @korbyn49 necause he sold his soul to guitar world

  • @korbyn49

    Of course he does. It's because he doesn't want to waste all his time to make up new riff ideas for just demos.

  • @korbyn49 fuck off you pretentious douche, EVERY VIDEO? In absolutely no fucking way, its just when he demos a METAL guitar he plays metal, when he demos more varied guitars he will play DIFFERENT styles

  • Paul Ftw!

  • That headstock and Dave Mustaines headstock are the only dean headstocks i like

  • Got this guitar on color black; love it!

  • sounds like steve vai and dimebag in one sound

  • paul should be in one of the betcha can't play this episodes.

  • chida liraa

  • 24 3/4" scale and the pick ups are so close one to each other?!?

  • WHY THE HELL DID I HAVE TO SIT THROUGH AN R&B ADVERT!?

  • i hate abalone sooo much.

  • holy crap, this guy played something good for once.

  • it deceives you by making it think its a schecter

  • Where do they take all that wood from such a extinct mahogany tree for these guitars?

  • @augustotanaka use a different type of mahogany. the one that's close to being extinct is honduras mahogany. guitar manufacturers these days usually use khaya mahogany or sipo. these two have been used so long that there really isn't too much of a point to say "i'd wish this was honduras". khaya is good mahogany, used by almost everyone. :)

  • Paul from Guitarworld - Greatest Metal guitarist ever. BTW my name is Sarah Palin.

  • How much. Is this guitar

  • Damn that is beautiful.

  • they have 666 videos :O

  • kinda looks like a torero copycat..

  • @orin1291 Kinda looks like a Solo 6/EC-1000 copy cat. ;D

  • @VHTLtdDimarzio kinda looks like any schecter hellraiser. same colour, binding and woods used.

  • @tohtorigyro Well, except the fact that this is a single cutaway body with a different neck profile than the baseball bats Schecter stick to bodies B-) Still, I can't understand the logic of playing Broken, Beat & Scarred on a Dean :/ I'd have get it if it was an LTD or something but..

  • @Ningirsutyr btw. ltd and schecters are made in the same factory :) they're both (including esp) owned by the same guy. and if i remember right, ltd has models too that lool similar to this guitar coulour, binding ect. btw, i love the thicker neck that the schecter has, it's all about preference ;)

  • @tohtorigyro What is your source pertaining the information that ESP and Schecter have the same owner? Because one is an American and the other is a Japanese company to begin with :/ But of course LTD has similar models on their EC series. Well, as a matter of fact, almost every metal guitar company has similar Les Paul shaped guitars ;P

  • @Ningirsutyr Hisatake Shibuya owns both, shecter and esp. they both are seperate companies but may share the same factory. what i meant with the "looks like any schecter hellraiser" was that this dean here, the esp/ltd model and the hellraisers have a similar finish, binding, inlay and woods used on them. i wasn't actually talking about their shape. :)

  • @Ningirsutyr lmfao are you retarded? everyone knows esp and schecter are the same company. both esp and schecter are japanese based companies

  • Um this seems more eargasmic than my esp ec1000...

  • the clean stuff sounds really bad in this video

  • I thought paul was a fagot but after i saw this i realized he is ten times as good as i can ever be :O

  • This Guitar Looks Exactly Like The Schecter Hellraiser Solo 6!!! Are They Sure It's A Dean???

  • @DylanBStringer91

    if you look at the headstock and arent a complete moron, its obvious its a dean...

  • @incubrian No Crap!!! I Was Talking About The Way The Guitar Looks Because It Looks Exactly Like The Solo 6!!! All Guitar Companies Have Different Headstocks!!!

  • Why Doesn't Paul Start A Band?!

    He's An Amazing F*cking Guitarist!

  • @MrNeosantana probably because he gets payed alot for these videos

  • @JaxTheBear Nah, but seriously, I'd like to hear him play.

    And magazines don't usually pay a lot for reviews.

  • FMF? I thought It was FML

  • Y U NO HAVE PASSIVE PICKUPS VERSION?

    i just hate the expense of buying batteries for these EMG's.

  • @williamindragunawan It's been 1 year 8 months since I bought my Schecter Hellraiser Tempest (with EMG's) and I never had to put a fresh battery in.

  • @yekshemesh4alig the tempest really is the best guitar body, isnt it :D

  • The original Deceiver was unveiled at Winter Namm 09, I believe the Solo 6 wasn't unveiled until Summer Namm that year. I agree that the finish is a bit Schecter, but then the same is true of ESP Ltds, and they're probably all made in the same factory anyway.

  • @Sifuben Wouldnt that be ironic if they were made in the same factory?

  • A Les Paul-style with a Floyd and EMGs. How original. Then again, you can't really use the word "original" with Guitar World.

  • i wish i had pauls job

  • @MrGn001 Trying Out Guitars For A Living, My KINDA JOB!

  • looks like a less desirable version of tht schecter

  • I want that Ax!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @MrJstern69

    no you don't... active pickups without coil tapping have the shittiest cleans. just buy a schecter hellraiser... the guitar that Dean tried to copy..

  • clean tone sounds like shit to me, i wonder what amp he used :/.

  • @shadybrain3424 Well if you've got the right settings, it won't sound like that. It wasn't meant to be completely clean.

  • @HeroOfTheFlames kinda strange though, if i were showing off a guitar i would put it on a setting to show off the clean. also i have know guitars that sound way better than that just when you turn down the volume on the guitar.

  • @shadybrain3424 It is strange, but I guess that's just what Paul wanted to do for this review. And that's true too, but this guitar probably isn't the best out there with its volume knobs. Not ripping on it, it definitely sounds good from this review.

  • Seems like guitarworld never review a bad guitar...

  • best demo ever played by Paul~~~~~LOL

  • OMGMOGMGOGMGGOGMGGOGMGOGMGOGMG­OMG!!! HES THO METALLLLZZZ. not really.

  • Thats an ugly flamed maple top.

  • haha.. poor dean... only 22 frets.. :D

  • Shiny!!!!

    looks small though.

  • I always like his demo's

  • Nice I'll take 2.

  • looks like an amazing guitar to me. gonna look into it

  • omfg looks just like the schecter i wanted to buy, i may just have to look in to both of thes guitars they looks amazing.

  • Nice schecter... ups I mean Dean

  • @Mantistas23 no no i think your right it is a schecter but dean just wrote their name on the headstock

  • @Mantistas23 Since when do Schecter Solo 6's have floyd roses? and the Solo 6 has a little cutaway on the left

  • @Mantistas23 Yeah man, looks just like this red Schecter I saw at our local guitar shop...

  • @Mantistas23 i don't get it

  • @Mantistas23 schecter sucks tho

  • @CrushedJustice your an idiot...... thats like saying fenders suck just because you played a broken $100 squire when you were 10...

  • @Macc2356 Idk due they just don't feel good on me if you know what I mean... Dude who hasn't had a squire as a beginning guitar? haha, Just to me schecters may be targeted for metal players but to me I don't like how they feel. I'm not a big fan of dean guitars either but the deciever sure beats my ESP ec-1000 that I use to have. The Deceiver felt alot more comfortable.

  • @CrushedJustice Personal prefrence i guess

  • @CrushedJustice i didn't start with a squire... i started with a Jackson :D

  • @TheJustinDH the dinky is just as bad LOL

  • @CrushedJustice Haha, no i started with an RR3 haha

  • @TheJustinDH haha idk if ur telling the truth cause that's just rare for a beginner to be playing a mid to high range modeled guitar

  • @CrushedJustice go to my facebook page, and check out my pics i'm not lying haha, i got lucky, dude i got it from needed money so i bought it from him

  • In the last few guitar world vids Paul had been ripping it up! I loved the hammer-ons with the pick slide down causing harmonics! Whilst I'm sure this has been done a fazillion times before, I can't recall seeing anyone do this. Pretty cool technique.

  • i would love to see if he does a betcha cant play this also to see him make something wth alexi laiho and marty friedman

  • HOLYFUCK IT'S SO FUCKING SHINY OMG! I FUCKIN WANT THIS!!!

  • Dear Guitar World, I never liked Floyd Rose. I'd like a brand or guitar series that carries shredder guitars without the F.R. but still have a great whammy and maybe alternative lock tuners... How about those Sub/Musicman/OLP and Petrucci and the likes? What else?

  • @madeinquebec any guitar with a Kahler trem...the jerry cantrell signature has one and it's great, even though i cant stand locking trem's in general...

  • Speaking of pointy, is there a limit in how far to one side the tuners can be? Like if you wanted the head to have a big angle would there be a problem?

  • generic metal guitar

    same wood, pickups, fretbord, bodystyle

    come on, someone raise the level

  • well at least dean released something that wasn't using dimbag's name

  • @414deathmetalist

    mustaine

    schenker

  • @abysslord16 or any other of those names (also cooley now to think about it)

  • @414deathmetalist but what im trying to say is, dean guitars arent just dime guitars, theyre guitars just like all other brands.

  • @abysslord16 ik its not just dime, it just seems like every other "new model" they come out with is based on the dime series

  • @414deathmetalist i can see that, but dean wasnt making guitars for a long period of time, so when them came back dime was the first to endorse again, and he re-popularized their company, not saying they should keep advertising that way, but dime did re-create a company that way.

  • This guy has the best job in the planet...

  • this guy has the weirdest technique

  • @syco50 but it works for him, right? look at Marty Friedman

  • @LordoftheAxe06 yeah, but hes not quite as good as marty is

  • @syco50 and how!

  • @syco50 yeah...but whatever it his that he does. it got him pretty much the best job ever...

  • OMFG it is just amazing to hear you play

  • ehhh this one or a esp ltd

    hmmmmm ESP LTD!

  • i want it

  • makes me think of strats...

  • coll guitar

  • whatever happend to the dean EVO?

  • Is every company basically copying the hellraiser series from schecter?? first there was the ltd thing, and now deans come out with this...even the same finish

  • @HeroOfTheFlames its because the hellraisers are so epic other companies want a part of the action, its basically like strat and les paul style guitars really.

  • @ryat75 true, true...my schecter does play very nice, i couldnt blame the other companies in that light then

  • price $899 (0.0) maybe i'll buy it used in a year or so, but right now that price tag is too rich for my blood.

  • FMF = Fuck my Father

  • Nice Schecter C-1 Hellraiser...ermm i mean nice deceiver

  • @xHoldenxHallx no kidding.. same body style and everything.. now all their missing is calling it a diamond series...

  • @xHoldenxHallx almost same body style i mean, no double cut out

  • That guitar ... is deceiving

  • Let's copy schecter!!!  pffffffff

  • @ArXiDoSpAsT1S In the guitar industry, Everyone copies eachother.

  • beautiful guitar

    

  • love this dean headstock

  • he can play the shit out of it. too bad the headstock is an eyesore like the rest of their solid body guitars.

  • malmsteen attempt 

  • Kinda like this

  • pala verga eres el cabron mas aburrido de you tube.

  • Sounds like Paul has been working on his chops. He's noticeably better then last review I can remember.

  • 0:08-0:56 was amazing.

  • I can shred like Paul with my eyes close, I just don't want to

  • Comment removed

  • ESP has Eclipse,schecter has Solo, wonder what Bc rich's version of a les paul will look like. doubt bc rich will ever make a traditional body shape guitar though, (except the ASM of course)lol

  • wait if im looking for a single cut away, floyd rose, and emg pickups, is this the guitar for me? haha nice review, and your sick at guitar

  • if they put some passive seymour duncans in this guitars, it would sound much better with the bigger shape

  • Very PRS.

  • @MortaniusTaijou except for the floyd, and the pickups, and the inlays, and the abalone binding... oh and the shape.

  • @guitarnoize Because there is one type of PRS? Because EMG is exclusive to Dean? Because inlays can't look different? Because Floyd Rose is also exclusive to Dean?

    -The SE Torero has Floyd Rose

    - Look at the Bird inlays on Santana's guitar

    - PRS has 5 models with EMG pickups

    - The Binding looks a lot like any PRS model, and the Abalone is standard.

    - The shape is a classic shape, everyone has it.

    The only thing really different is the headstock.

    Shut the hell up and fuck off.

  • @MortaniusTaijou Lol Abalone binding is standard on a PRS is it? have you check the PRS range lately or are you still living in the 90's? You're right about the Torrero I'd forgotten about that, but that doesn't excuse you being such a dick.

  • @guitarnoize You're too delusional to talk to, piss off ant.

  • Comment removed

  • @guitarnoizef I need to do my research when you couldn't prove your insignificant point? Some people will always remain a speckle of dust in this shitstorm for a life no matter how hard they try, i.e. You.

  • Comment removed

  • @guitarnoize You're pathetic, especially for someone your age. At least I have better control of the English language than someone born to speak it such as yourself. Oh wait, you're Australian, you don't speak English. LMFAO!

    Before you say I am from the US, I am not. I am from Lebanon,living in the US; and yes I will beat you to your blanket statement, I am a terrorist, now Fuck off.

    We started with PRS and we ended with this, shows how much point you have behind your negligent intelligence.

  • @MortaniusTaijou Again you fail with the most basic of details, I'm English not Australian. I feel sorry for you, I hope you manage to work through your anger issues .

  • @guitarnoize Hometown Sydney. Pft.

    Anger issues? LMFAO!

    I like fucking with lowlifes who think they're high and mighty; you're a prime example.

    Nothing good ever came out of UK anyways fucker. Mass population and culture eradication in the Americas, the division of the Middle East with your bullshit Saiks Picot resolution, the defending of Israel's war-crimes, and you.

    The only thing to come out of that place that is worth notation is your comedy, not talking about The Office either.

  • @MortaniusTaijou The decimal point came from Scotland and it's fucking useful. Your point is invalid.

  • @thesplage LMFAO! Blow it out your ass!

    In the middle ages a bar was used to denote the fractional part of the number and it was attributed to Iranian mathematician Al-Khwarizmi. Arabic mathematicians later used a little vertical stroke between the numbers. With the printing press it was found easier to use the comma/period already provided.

    People use commas also, and your retarded mid-point was rejected by SI. You're still useless.

    FYI, you use are Arabic numerals.

    Go get an education.

  • @MortaniusTaijou this video is about guitars not language.

  • @shadybrain3424 Tell that to your European buddies.

  • @MortaniusTaijou last time i checked it took two ta tango buddy.

  • *lists about a dozen things* "and thats all you need to rock."

  • Wanna be schecter tacky binding......great shape...but who needs another EMG/Floyd guitar........I have many....and this doesnt offer anything different.

    Sorry.......deans just dont impress me.......at least the owner of dean broke away from dean and is trying something different.......or trying to.

  • the headstock is nice

  • MAYBE IF I BUYGUITAR I PLAY GOOD TOO? no but really, if your talented, you can make a plastic guitar sound great

  • what efect and ampli?

  • looks like the schecter solo 6

  • what a nice dean

  • Comment removed

  • esp ec is better

  • sounds like steve vai

  • the body looks a little too small for the neck.. lol. and gw should REALLY get a different person for metal style guitars. cuz paul cant play metal for shit.

  • to bad its a dean :(

  • damn, I want this guitar

  • DEANS HELL YEAHHHHHHH

  • @ciadude2 For instance ESP LTD H1000 and some other. It's no coincidence that those guitars look like the flagship of Schecter guitars (the Hellraiser Series). They are just trying to copy a very good selling metal oriented guitar.
