Any opinions on Danelectro guitars, especially the new Pro reissue? Based on some clips I've watched on Youtube it has a really nice, bright and clean sound, but can you also get something more raw and unrefined (in a bluesy sort of way) out of it?

^LOL.
A non locking trem like that one really is not designed for anything much more than subtle warbles without going out of tune.

I use a Squier MC-1 for classical guitar (it's getting too dang small and mom won't believe me!!!) and a Yamaha PAC012 for electric stuff.
It's in the shop right now, for reasons including but not limited to the fact I went so wild with my whammy bar I broke it off!

I have a Carvin Bolt that I customized the tone section to help boost the mids. My backup is a custom built Charvel/Jackson I received around 1990.

KV2, not a bad guitar at all  Are you using the amp models on the GT-6 or by passing them and just using the effects while using the DSL's tone?

I use a Fender American Standard Stratocaster and a Jackson KV2 (American handmade). I play them through a Boss GT6, which is connected to a Marshall JCM200 DSL100 head and Marshall 1960A cabinet. I use Dunlop Gator Grip 1.5 mm picks, D'Addario EXL125 strings, and Mogami cables.

Dean are always crappy at providing guitar specs, never as in depth as some of the other brand's websites.
Dean's are very hard to come by in Melbourne (not sure about other Australian cities), so I've never played one before.
Licensed Floyd Rose© tremolo system
=kinda poopy. I always hated the fact the knife edges wear faster on Licensed systems, sometimes as much as twice as fast as a Schaller/OFR. So I guess they are okay if you don't use the trem arm everyday, but nothing beats the durability of the real deal or one of the higher up trems on Ibanez guitars.

It plays great, love the area for the right hand, lots of space, Floyd really doesn't get in the way. Even better as soon as I fix its slight action / intonation issue. Just a small tweak of the truss rod should do it, if not I'll take it for a good setup.
To be honest, I really dont know the specs on it, but I could try pulling up the Dean page and see if they have any specs on it. The neck is amazingly thin, as well as the first guitar I posted. I've never played a guitar with that thin of a neck out of the box, only ones that were shaved down after. I'll edit this post if I can find the specs.
**UPDATE**
The Dean website [as well as other sites] was about as useful as the wall in front of me. This was all I could scrape up:
Neck through construction
Solid mahogany body with quilted maple top and back
Maple neck with rosewood fingerboard
Dual humbuckers
Tune-o-matic style bridge
Licensed Floyd Rose© tremolo system
Classic Dean V Ferrule pattern
24 frets
25-1/2" scale
Nickel hardware

I'm actually a friend of Scott's(Mantra), and I can say that it does play very well, not my favorite guitar but the times I've played it, it's been nice.

If money's not the big problem for you ... how about trying a Line6 Variax? Their cheapest models should cost about $300, and you can do some amazing things with them ... like Jazz guitar sounds, Fender, Sitar, Banjo, crazy tunings ... my only problem with them is that the necks are not exactly made for shredders like me, and they have only 22 frets.

Hmm, thanks for the recommendation. I'll be sure to try it out next time I get out to Guitar Center. I'm looking for possibly one more big purchase before starting up the saving for the car in a couple years..

As of yet, I have 3 axes, one thats barely touched.
First was a knock off strat made by Peavey that a friend sold to me. Not so great, but ya gotta start somewhere right
Next I bought a Dean Vendetta 3.0 because it felt so good when I tried it, and I was totally into only metal and thrash at the time so it was totally me. I still use it for tunings out of standard. Right now its tuned to C F A# D# G C. Heres a picture of it:
About a year ago I bought the Dean Vendetta 4.0 w/ the Floyd Rose Locking Tremelo because I loved my other Vendetta so much. This one I keep in standard, as tuning on a Floyd Rose isn't exactly fun. Love the guitar though, it came with DiMarzio pickups right out of the box, so that was a bit more then satisfying. Here it is:
