Hi joeyjoeyjoey, glad to finally find someone that has a dean acoustic. Why can't your daughter play it sitting down? I only play sitting down as I don't have a strap for mine at the moment. By the way, I like your string selection process. That takes all the contemplation out of it and I guess you get to try all sorts? Do you find much of a difference between the different brands?

Hi again,
Although you have hijacked by Dean post I don't mind as I'm learning lots and getting some useful string recommendations. Funny how these threads pan out. Do give Dean Guitars a try though if you get the chance. I'd like to see what other people think of them. I don't have a lot of experience but if a guitar feels good to me then that's ok I guess.
Cheers.

Funny that...my Dean came fitted with D'Addario Strings and that's what I've always used. Maybe it's time for a change? I use Ernie Ball Super Slinky on my electric (a squier strat) and I'm pretty happy with them.

Hi Doug, I too hadn't heard much about Dean Guitars other than they make strange shaped electrics. Until that is I went searching for an acoustic (birthday prezzy from the wife). My local shop had quite a large range of guitars at all prices. I tried some really cheap, £49 ones and a couple of £500 ones. The Dean was in my price range and to my untrained ear felt and sounded much more like the 500 than the 49. That was about 18 months ago and I am still very pleased with it. Not long after I bought it I e-mailed Dean Guitars to enquire as to what strings they fitted (type and guage). To my surprise I got a short, and straight to the point, answer about 15 minutes later! Not a bad response time.

Hi everybody. I've been following the various discussions on here for a while now but haven't seen anything about Dean Acoustic Guitars. As you probably realise I noticed this because I have a Dean Daytona, which I think is a really nice guitar (for the money). I admit I have limited experience but I have played a cheap nasty guitar so I know what a bad one's like. Anybody else have any opinions on Dean Guitars?

Re: Question for the southpaws (14 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hi 'Nomikal,
I am a ‘Lefty’ and I play right handed! You are correct that the first guitar I picked up was a right-hander but it felt natural. Flipping it over just felt awkward. I put it down to living in a right-handed world. I originally trained as an automotive engineer and as almost all threads are right handed I got used to using spanners and screwdrivers in my right hand. Just to mix things up a bit more, as I said I play guitar right handed, I bowl right handed but I play golf and darts left handed! I write with my left hand but I can type with both hands, one finger on each! Being a lefty has its advantages I suppose.
Doctor.
