The Dean Vendetta Series
With four models to choose from, the Vendettas have string-through-body design, classic Dean V Ferrule pattern, dual Humbuckers, a 25.5-inch scale, and solid mahogany bodies with a maple neck. The Vendetta 1.0 and 2.0 are bolt-on models with black hardware. The 2.0 model features a solid flame maple top. The Vendetta 3.0 and 4.0 sport neck-through construction with the Pearl Evil Eye inlay running the length of the fretboard. The 4.0 version has a beautiful quilted maple top and is available in an all too popular "Tiger Eye" finish.
Paulownia Body
Paulownia is an increasingly popular substitute for mahogany in more affordable guitar models. It's a fast-growing, hearty tree native to Japan and Southeast Asia, and has traditionally been used for Asian string instruments.
As a lightweight, porous body wood, Paulownia is somewhat similar to swamp ash in its sonic signature: very resonant, with plenty of chime and a nice, tight low-end.
Bolt-On Construction
The Vendetta 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 dot inlays.
Dean Humbucker Pickups
To capture the biting tones of vintage Deans, the company includes two humbuckers. These pickups should provide more than enough bite for modern styles, along with plenty of low-end and midrange definition. The standard three-way selector allows bridge, neck, or a combination, and volume and tone controls are provided.
Dean Diecast Tuners
Dean's sealed diecast tuners offer solid tuning and mechanics, for a long lifetime of dependable performance.
Tune-o-Matic Bridge
A Tune-o-Matic bridge with string-thru body design provides even more sustain, along with precise intonation for your tuning preference. The classic v-shaped ferrule pattern adds some nice vintage Dean style.

Dean Vendetta XM Solid Body Electric Guitar, Trans Black Finish Reviews
10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: Correct Price?, By This review is from: Dean Vendetta XM Solid Body Electric Guitar, Trans Black Finish (Electronics) I was shocked at the price that this model was being sold for. I added EMG pickups on the neck and bridge of this light weight power house. It plays equal to my Schecter which cost me over seven hundred dollars. I will buy out the supply that is left within Amazon and Musicians friend and duplicate and sell the same guitar that I have made out of this solid performer. 10 of 11 people found the following review helpful: good for price, By Nick Ferrante Jr. (northern nj. usa) - See all my reviews This review is from: Dean Vendetta XM Solid Body Electric Guitar, Trans Black Finish (Electronics) i bought this guitar from a catalog. when i first got i was not to happy. the finish is plastic. but then i started to play it and it sounded pretty good. i played it through a digitech rp 90. and a peavey 112. i was then happy with the results. at first i was going to return it to musicians friend. because i did not like plastic encased body. but it sounds good for the price. also its good looking guitar. i bought it to practice on, so i can keep my more exspensive guitars preserved. the pickups on it are very good. overall its not bad for a backup guitar. a good guitar to practice on thats all you really need is something like this guitar. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: vendetta, Amazon Verified Purchase its a solid beginner guitar, very good sound if you have the right strings, very light compared to most electric guitars amd just plain cool, the dean headstock is always very cool and the rest looks sweet aswell, if you want a guitar and you want it to be cheap get hte dean vendetta its about the best cheapest guitar out there |
