I can't knock Deans but I still can't get into the fact they are sold on musicYo :confused:

Gibson farmed out superstrats in the 80s and they are still trying :lol:

Does this guy have a name? I'd like to check out some of his other work.
 
I got mine! But it is an 86! Not a overpriced 85 reissue. a normal 85 reissue is around $1K, so basically...you are paying $7-800 for the paint.....
 
Why is it overpriced? How much is a subscription? Did they raise the price or something?

The guy in Outta the Blue used to use Hill guitars. That guy was a rippin' player, and great writer. What a killer band that was! I saw them in LA a couple of times when they traveled out from Ohio. They should have been huge!
 
The 1985 re-issue is maple too....I may have to do some Ebay dumpster diving :)
 
Not sure but that is the model I see alot on Ebay, trying to find that out now.

A friend of mine plays Hill guitars and told me about him building those Kramers. He showed me a pic of the Mustain Dean before they were finished too. He didn't say who he was making them for at the time though.

I guess Jon Hill used to work in teh Dean Custom shop before opening his shop in Cleveland.

Ahhh... I hear Hill does great work. I know Billy Morris (used to be in Warrant) uses them and he had nothing but great things to say about them. That guy's in Cleveland, right?

I had no idea he made these guitars for other companies.

I'm not sure on the models, if its a USA model, he does those from what I was told.
 
The thing I cant get past is that the originals didnt cost that much, I had an orginal Kramer Baretta I bought brand new, for $1029........

Put together in New Jersey with ESP parts and 1 1/2 inches of poly spray :lol:

One thing about those 80s Kramers, you could slam the action on those guitars like no other....just did not have much tone.
 
I was talikng about the $1799.....


NO paint job is worth that. :)
