Funny thing how this was overpriced for its time (an import guitar with Dean pickups and a Licensed Floyd Rose for $1689, should've been less than $700) and the price has climbed up even further because it was made only for one or two years. Second, Matt Heafy’s Rising Sun had its headstock broken falling while resting on an amp in concert. Also Matt made no money during those days, so he sold off all his Dean guitars as soon as his Dean sponsorship ended and he owns none even now (didn’t even buy back any models even though he’s clearly much better off nowadays). Make of that what you will! Third, the ML Rising Sun is pretty much like the Confederate/Dixie Rebel Deans with regards to the Koreans and Japanese (funny as this guitar was made in Korea) but it’s a cancelled emblem of imperialistic Japan now. But this guitar is still listed on sale lol because the West doesn’t care as much about Asia’s history. Some Trivium diehard will buy this overpriced thing though!

As far as I know, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is still using that ensign, the Rising Sun flag. Used MKH Dean guitars have been sold for prices ranging from 600 to 2000+ €, with the majority leaning towards the higher end nowadays. There have been reported issues between Trivium and Dean, likely related to the quality and operations of the company. Nevertheless, I'd love to own this guitar :)

@@wucks3666 Even I’d like to, but from what I’ve learn through import Washburn Dimes, they’re just simply overpriced in the US/Canada/UK due to demand and a lot of people with a lot of money and little sense. You’re better off visiting some guitar shops when you’re in Indonesia/Korea/Japan/Brazil etc., you can often find a rare guitar for half the going price on Reverb or less.
