Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

Dean is a company that you can count on and be sure that they know their job, and that's building great instruments. Another model from Dean named Cadillac Select outperforms and outranks sound-wise many other models in its price range. It's well worth the price.

Dean went really far in carefully choosing Cadillac Select's features. There's little to be wished for, which makes Cadillac Select a full-featured guitar for a musician that plays a music style this instrument is primarily built for. If you decide to go for Dean's Cadillac Select you will be happy with its, safe to say - rich features. A job well-done by Cadillac Select.

Sounding well, Dean's Cadillac Select delivers what it's built for; a nice sounding guitar that needs to be played a bit before your playing starts sounding right. Not one of the “huge tone out of the box” models, Cadillac Select is still very much recognizable for the nice tone it provides when played through the right amplifier, so one could say that Dean did a nice job after all.

Just by looking at Dean's Cadillac Select you can tell that this instrument is something special. Beautiful finish tells the story of extraordinary craftsmanship of Dean. Action is superb, and easily adjustable. The first time you pick up Cadillac Select and play it, you will notice that this is a top quality guitar. Hardware is no exception; it is carefully chosen and will last you for a long time.

Cadillac Select is one of the finest in its class. Dean created a guitar that is both durable, and a guitar that performs well in studio, on stage and while rehearsing/practicing. Quality hardware and finish are a guarantee that this instrument will last long and serve you well, if you take the usual care for your instrument, as you should.
