The Dean USA Thousand Series are American made with budget conscious guitarists in mind.
Some of the stand out features in this series include all set-neck construction with rosewood fingerboard, pearl dot inlays, Tune-o-matic bridge, Floyd Rose tremolo options, loaded with Dean USA DMT pickups (or EMG’s upon request).
The Dean USA Thousand Series features Dean classic body styles such as the V, Z, ML as well as hot new models like the Deceiver, Soltero and the Hillsboro bass.
Dean’s rationale for this series was explained in this comment emailed out earlier today…

If you dream of owning a USA made guitar, but are feeling the economic crunch like many musicians are, the Dean USA Thousand Series guitars may be just the ticket to turn your dream guitar into a reality. Please ask your local Dean dealer to show you a Dean Thousand Series guitar. If they don’t have one, tell them to contact our Sales Director, Derek Badala.
The MSRP for these models is generally around the $2,000 mark, however you probably won’t pay more than $1,500 at the stores, and I even found a couple on Amazon for $1,399.
