| I recently got this guitar for Christmas, and i have to say its WAY!! better than the squire fender knockoff i had before it. This guitar is gorgeous,as it is to be expected of Dean, pick-ups work great,just as good if not better than my lead guitarists Les Paul. The feel is also amazing nice thin neck...making it easy to fret. Easy to string and tune....comes strung with D'Addario strings......don't waste your time lookking for a better guitar for a better deal....you won't find one.......even better than most guitars that cost 3 times more. |
Legendary!!!

Number one, this guitar set me back $75 brand new with an additional $15 for shipping. This is huge. Obviously you can get a better guitar for three to ten times the price, but for guitars under $250 this baby holds its own and more.
Number two, the guitar is absurdly beautiful. The finish, which on the body is of pretty decent quality, is darker than what is pictured. This actually makes it all the more beautiful. It looks like a $1000 dollar piece. The entire shape is absolutely gorgeous. I especially love the seven crescent moon shapes at the top. I could see myself taking this guitar, with the power fully on, out into a thunderstorm just to see how elegant it would look with lightning bolts dancing their merry way all around it. Your friends who paid ten times what you did will be jealous, or at least show you some genuine respect when you whip it out.
Number three, the wood feels so fine. It is light. It is soft. It is some exotic species I've never heard of. It seems like it must of come from some strange place deep in some south american jungle. There were jaguars and fireflies that roamed around the trees this guitar was made from. You can hear it when you play. I feel bad that they cut down the trees this guitar came from, but at least the souls of those trees are going to be channeled into something beautiful instead of becoming toilet paper. The neck is actually slightly heavier than the body.
Number four, it sounds mighty fine. The strings that this guitar comes with are nothing special, you will eventually change them. The tuners are fairly decent-they hold the pitch and don't slip. They feel sturdy enough. The pickups work well enough too. The action is surprisingly spot on. All in all, the hardware is great for the price. However, the sweetness of the sound itself, like I mentioned before, comes from this subtle resonance that exudes from the wood. You have to have a semi-decent amp or headphones to really hear it though, but when you do...
Number five, if you think that this guitar will magnetize and summon riches beyond your wildest dreams, ladies (men or whatever) so beautiful they could have only come from divine realms, sheer strength, kungfu, and sword fighting skills beyond any other warrior in the universe, magical powers that would put any sorcerer or witch doctor to shame, funky haunting melodies that could only come from the ancient muses or Pan himself---you are most correct indeed.
In short, when you unwrap this Vendetta---this object of power, our precious, this one guitar to bind them all---your brows will become raised, your eyes will glow with raw energy, tingles will shoot up and down your spine, and there is a slight danger that you may indeed spontaneously combustify. Yet if you can channel that ecstasy, that force, the one force that flows through all things, and get that dang plug into an amp, you shall become a master of the entire universe. |
Great features for a budget guitar

| I have been playing this guitar for over a week now and I have to say that I am pretty happy with it. The guitar sounds pretty good, it has a very bright sound, probably due to the light wood, and sounds good under heavy distortion and overdrive. some of my gripes are: the string ferrels pop out very easy when changing strings, the tuning heads are garbage, and the pickups are way under powered, but what can you expect for a [...]. All in all though for a [...]this guitar rocks. |

| This guitar is a beauty, but that's what I expected from Dean. They have a good quality beginner and intermediate product here that is not embarassing like the old "Sears" collection from Nowhere, Illinois, All the nay-sayers state it vibrates, doesn't feel like this or that, hey, if you want perfection, go buy a $2200 guitar, then drop it in the middle of the street so a car runs over it by mistake, or better yet, wait for it after luggage check at the airport and guess what, bye-bye baby! No comprendo guitaro! Can you afford another one? No, but you can afford another Dean or Maestro or Sky, they are great replicas and well manufatcured or distributed. This baby has rich wood lines, nice feel, dynamite sound and switching pickups. This guitar blows away other cheap manufacturers whose countries you can't even pronounce. Amazon, nice picking on this one. You are really getting me irritated with your selections. Now I can't stop looking at your site and buying. Keep it up! You are killing my wallet and my bank account (but at least I am playing the guitar all the way to jail - HA!). |
Good Beginner's Piece

| As an old guy wanting to play guitar, this was a great buy. I also got the Behringer 15 watt amp to go along with it. The guitar comes with a patch cord and nothing else. No instruction book on what the knobs and switches are for. It was shoddily packaged, but not damaged; looks as if they just threw it in the box with some shipping paper. |
