My custom-built engraved copper paisley Dellatera arrived today. It's absolutely beautiful! It also sounds amazing -- it's everything I hoped it would be (including a a robust "country-twang" sound that I've been seeking). The pickups and switching system provide considerable sonic signature versatility. This is probably one of the first high-end guitars I've had built over the years for which I didn't need to modify the action (that doesn't mean that there was anything wrong with my other custom guitars; string height preferences vary between players). Thank you Dean for continuing your legacy of building fine instruments!
