    This is the main player. Higher end than the ml I just ordered but still waaayyyyyy cheaper than most of my Gibson's and is built every wayyy better than what Gibson has been putting out the last few years. It's a Washburn but still close enough. Screenshot_20190913-172848.png
    I have always wanted a old Dean ml and this new one I ordered has the binding, burst, and hard tail of the old ones so I thought it would be cool.

    Yup lol. It even has the same headstock and everything. It's a cool guitar, just hard on strings due to the plate in the bridge.

    yes, i did a search on both companies. but as you know, like GM, Ford, Chrysler, thier "home" may be in MI, but they have factories all over the place.

    someone had told me, there was a guitar plant up here, is all i had to go on memory.

    Paul Reed Smith IIRC! If I ever buy a new high end guitar it would be a PRS!
    A friend of mine bought a new LP and was so disappointed that he traded it for a dog ;)
