This review is from: Dean Vendetta XM Solid Body Electric Guitar, Mahogany FinishNumber 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....
This review is from: Dean Vendetta XM Solid Body Electric Guitar, Mahogany FinishI 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....
This review is from: Dean Vendetta XM Solid Body Electric Guitar, Mahogany FinishGot this for my son for Christmas. He wanted a guitar to take to band practice that wouldn't get beat up, etc. Sooo, I read these incredible reviews about this guitar, from seasoned musicians, raving about how light it is (made from Paulownia wood) and how you can practice without an amp due to how loudly it resonates. He played one at Guitar Center and fell in love with THAT guitar. (And he played so many of them.) He loves the action on it, and it has 24 frets! Thank you Santa!!!...
