LOL you buy the dean equivalent of my precious (ESP LTD DV8-R), then it breaks and you buy my woman on the side with whom I cheat on my precious with (Black RG550 20th). The 20th is a great guitar too. It's got a more versatile range on it and the neck is paper thin. My one gripe is the bridge pickup isn't as hot as I like them to be. It's great for the instrumental/ expiramental rock like Satch/Vai, etc. But I really have to dial in the gain to get the highs to cut like I like. Plus I keep 9's on it because I'm keeping it completely stock and I always overcompensate from bends on 9's and on the high E i run off the fret board a lot. But it is an absolutely top flight guitar, you'll be really happy with it. Careful with the straplocks, my neck straplock pulled out of the upper cut away and I had to shim it with a toothpick. I have a DiMarzio Cliplock strap on it right now, but I think I'm going to go back to the stock strap locks so I can use the stock strap w/ it and put the cliplocks on my S470.
