2021 Dean AX DQA GN Dreadnought Guitar

This guitar is exactly what it looks like -- a mass-market, all-ply, inexpensive, practical dreadnought. Instruments just like this have been built since the early '70s first in Japan, then in Korea, then in Taiwan and Indonesia, and now mostly in China -- where this was built.

This goes a little further than most, though, and features a fancy quilted ash veneer and a few other visual upgrades. Hey, the neck is maple, too!

I took this in trade towards another guitar and it's very clean as the owner just bought it last year. I gave it a quick setup and it's ready to go and available cheap in-shop.
