## Description

The ML was created by Dean Guitars in 1977 to be the guitar with ultimate sustain and tone. Created with the Dean concept of spreading the mass of the body over a large area, the MLX FM electric guitar has something more. Dean believes radical string angles add to the resonance that helps a guitar become more alive. The distinctive headstock creates extra long string length, giving the ML a sound like no other guitar! played by many of rock's Elite over the past two decades, the ML has appeared in award winning videos, on stage and album covers, and more importantly, on some of rock's finest recordings. With a Poplar body, flame maple top and a tune-o-matic bridge, you can't go wrong with the Dean MLX FM!.

Review: Wow! - Wow! I have been playing for 25 years and own high-end Fenders, Gibsons and bla bla bla. This guitar plays better than the majority of them and sounds sweet. Similar to the SG bite but more sustain. Obviously, the materials aren't creme of the crop but they work great and are put together well. The guitar is lite, looks cool and is very pointy. I saw where people complained about the tuners but I find them pretty standard. Stays in tune as well as any of my other guitars without locking nuts/tuners. Don't see why people complain. Non-locking tuners get out of tune with use. So tune it, that's why they are there. Only negative has nothing to do with the guitar itself. The packaging was pretty lame. They shipped it in the original guitar box and nothing else. The box was torn and barely staying together. I was expecting to see a broken or banged up guitar but I lucked out. Super impressed with this guitar. Incredible value for the $$$. May buy a few more but different body styles.
Review: Deans are my favorite! - For the money you can’t go wrong with this guitar, nice tone, set up nice right out of box! I like Dean guitar necks, just seem to fit my fat hand nice! Pickups sound great wouldn’t modify anything about this guitar!

*by S***W on January 6, 2018*

Keeping in mind that you get what you pay for I definitely got what I payed for. Maybe even a steal. Not only is it one sexy guitar but It also played really smooth and and sounds great. My only complaint is the back of the neck was s little ruff but there is nothing a little sand paper can't fix. I am verry pleased with this guitar and would recommend it to anybody. Rock on \M/
