Dean went really far in carefully choosing Z X's features. There's little to be wished for, which makes Z X 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 Z X you will be happy with its, safe to say - rich features. A job well-done by Z X.

Tone delivered by Dean's Z X makes it a serious sounding instrument that gives Dean a lot of reasons to be proud of it. Somewhat limited when playing certain music styles doesn't mean that Z X will make your tone to sound poor, quite the opposite, because Z X provides rich and versatile tone that you'll be happy with.

Dean did a good job. Z X is built well, the finish feels just right, the hardware is solid. While playing for a longer periods of time you can expect Z X to stay in tune and you will be pleased while playing, because the neck is extremely comfortable. You might find that over time metal parts will oxidize a bit, but that's normal and nothing to worry about. Dean did a really good job with Z X guitar.

Playing live, Z X will perform well and will not let you down. It is fairly reliable instrument both in studio and on stage, and will be a long term companion, as it is built to last. Dean has made a solid instrument that you will be happy with, and can depend on right from the start. Needs no backup as it has proven to be built really well.
