Dean is cheap chink shit. Gibson is overpriced shit. Jackson is ugly metal shit.
Dean used to be high end stuff when they started but now the best Dean stuff is mid range Korean guitars, I have a nice Dean acoustic from 20 years ago but the current stuff is not so good.
Dean has a new company found here https://deanzelinsky.com/ and the stuff is clearly CNC made.
I liked the Gibsons I had but I have to agree, they are WAY overpriced and since they moved to Nashville, made by niggers with shitty quality control.
Never played a Jackson to be honest, no interest in them....
For the price of a new LP, you can have a local struggling luthier make you 2, without sharp fret ends, unlike Gibsons.
The Charvels and Jacksons made in California are amazing, Japanese were decent, the shelf models are made in China now
The domestics are priced accordingly
I remember Charvel from the 80s but just don't like the designs of the Jacksons except the Roswell. Gibson made a Roswellesque guitar that seemed ok too.
Lately I am into the asian Fender stuff though my last two guitars was a Mexican XII in Lake Placid Blue and a new Hagstrom (made in china) that I got at half price new.
Got a nice collection of guitars now cheaply that all play well and take mods without any problems.
