I recently went to a small music store that had a limited number of guitars in my price range ($200-350 cdn). I saw the Dean Avalanche Zone S and compared it to a few other guitars (most of which were Ibanez), but this one sounded better and it felt great. The price of this one is $279 + tx, but the salesperson said he would give it to me for $300 + he would give me picks, extra set of strings, & guitar cable. I've looked online at it and the prices for it ranged from $199-$299 US. Also, the reviews for it have been mostly good ones. Only thing I'm a bit iffy about is I've never heard of Dean guitars before.


What do you think of the Dean Avalanche Zone S as a first guitar?

Hi tyler

I have never heard of a Dean guitar either.

But, ... It sounds like you've bought it.

1. Within price range. - compared prices
2. Sounds better than the other ones you have tested.
3. And it felt great in your arms.

Has all the ingredients that I look for in my purchases.
Sounds like a sale to me.

Happy picking.
John

Dean guitars are very common. A low to midrange guitar. They are popular with metal players. If you google for Dean Guitars, I am sure you will get a ton of hits for them.
See what I mean.

I don't know anything about that particular guitar, but Dean is a well-established brand and has been around for a long time. I remember them from at least 25-27 years ago when I was a teenage garage band thrasher - always wanted a Dean "Flying V" back then!
