All guitars may require a final setup depending on the player's preferred string gauge, tuning, playing
style and personal preferences. Temperature and humidity changes during transportation can also
affect an instrument. If you want the best possible playing experience, a professional setup after the
guitar has acclimatized to its new environment is recommended.

The best Dean guitar depends on your playing style, musical preferences and budget. Consider the
following:

• Body shape: ML, V, Z and other designs offer different looks and playing experiences.
  
• Pickups: Choose according to the type of sound you want.
• Bridge system: Fixed bridges are simple and stable, while tremolo systems offer more pitch-
  bending possibilities.
• Scale length: This affects the feel and tension of the strings.
• Number of strings: Choose between 6-string and extended-range models according to your
  musical needs.
• Budget: Dean offers instruments across a range of price levels.
