Jimryan Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Morning all, Recently I've been contemplating shifting my Squier VM fretless as its not getting used and I'm starting to think I don't like jazzes/offsets. Anyhow, a bloke on FB near me has offered me a Dean 6 string as a swap for it. The 6 looks nice enough, but I haven't a clue what it is. Having done a bit of a search online, all the ones I can find have either different controls/headstock shape/available finishes. So, can any of you lot help figure it out?

RhysP Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Well, it's probably quite an old model as it's got the "Shrimp Fork" headstock shape. I'd also be inclined to think that the pickup blend pot has been replaced by a selector switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Thread here from 2009 about the five string version. I answered the question correctly in 2009, my memory isn't what it used to be.....
