The Dean EVO Series: Evolved from Vintage Origins
The EVO is a perfect blend of vintage design, old world craftsmanship and decades of guitar building technology. The Dean EVO is truly the "Evolution of Guitar Design" at its finest. With a deep dished, carved, ultra-thick solid wood top, the EVO achieves incredible sustain and astonishing tones. The EVO also features a neck joined at the body with Dean's exclusive angular neck joint, which was specially designed to attain the optimum in playability and ultimate resonance.
Basswood Body
Basswood is commonly used for solid body electric guitars and basses because of its strong and durable character, desirable tonal characteristics, and how well it takes paint finishes. Basswood has a warm sound, with a strong, cutting mid-range and is an excellent tonal material for both beginner and advanced players.
Bolt-On Construction
The EVO XM uses bolt-on construction, an affordable alternative to set-neck or thru-body designs. The advantage of this design is that if you do have any neck trouble down the line, you can easily replace it.
The maple neck features an ultra-playable 24-fret rosewood fingerboard, with classic pearl dot inlays.

Dean EVO XM Solid Body Electric Guitar, Mahogany Finish Reviews

My other guitars are a Fender Strat and a Fender Lead 1, both equipped with Floyd Rose systems so the Evo was a nice change of pace.On to the guitar! The first thing I noticed was the weight. At 5.75 lbs. it's probably the lightest guitar I've ever played. Right out of the box it wasn't set up, which didn't really surprise me for a $100 guitar. After setting up the guitar (adjusting the bridge and truss rod) it turned out to be a very nice player. The stock pickups sound great and the solid mahogany body has decent sustain. The good tone surprised me considering how light it is. I have only one complaint. The cheap tuning keys. They're cheap and it's obvious when you turn them and feel varying amounts of play from each of them. That being said, they seem to stay in tune pretty well. The bottom line is that the Evo is an EXCELLENT value...

I annoy my wife to no end when I do this.I had the same problems that I've seen in most other reviews on the web. The tuning pegs are really cheap. The guitar will not stay in tune when you get it. After playing it for a while and putting some good strings on it, it's keeping it tune much better (though I've got a good set on back order) The neck was as straight as an arrow right out of the box. I'd mess it up if I touched the truss rod. The fret wires were a little rough (tops not polished) but I fixed that by playing the cheap strings for a while. The fret wire edges were cut sharp and not filed too. This was the only real work I put in. I taped off the fret board and filed the edges down with a small diamond file. The neck plays like a dream now. Action is VERY light and low and it's a nice thin maple neck profile. Very fast though it could be a tad bigger for my...

On the minus side, the pickups are very noisy, the tuners are loose and don't hold tuning, and the body construction is such that if you put any weight on the body while holding the neck, the tuning goes sharp.If you're short/small and always play sitting down, this might be an OK value. For anyone else, avoid it. |
