Dean Owners Association

[BKW]

Many of us here own or/and love Dean Guitars (Michael's signature guitar line).

If you don't know, there is an international club of Dean Owners that is officially recognized by Dean Guitars. The DOA (Dean Owners Association) is a group of great people who own or and love Dean Guitars! Current ownership is not required, or is there any cost to join.

In October, we will be having are yearly gathering at Dean Headquarters and will include a tour and a members jam that evening. The following night will be another members jam and concert which will include MAB. Again, there is NO Cost to attend if you register in advance.

Interested? You can join the DOA at DOA and click on the "Join DOA" menu option.

If you are already a member of the DOA, you can register for the event at: DOA 2016 - Register

These events are IMMENSELY fun and informative.  This is a rare chance to see how Dean Guitars and pickups are made, Meet Dean artists, hang out with other Dean (and MAB) fans and all the fun that happens. 

here is a short video recap of my first DOA.

Approximately how many electric guitars per year does Dean sell and when ranking the guitar companies in order from the highest selling company (Fender or Gibson I would think) all the way down to the 10th biggest selling guitar company, where would Dean place on that list of the top 10 biggest selling electric guitar companies? While I'm primarily a guitarist and a composer, I do have a B.A.in Business from The University Of South Florida in Tampa and the business side of music fascinates me as well as the purely artistic side.

I don't have a clue!!!!

Most of the companies are privately owned. There are trade groups that may have that information.. but I am not going to pay for it to find out.
