Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? The quality seems top notch...I've only had mine for a month or so but it has held up well after being played 5 hours a day in studio work... The tremlo is very basic, not a floyd rose by any means but does hold tune pretty well. Reliability How has it stood up over time? Very reliable, only had it a month but so far so good Overall Your general opinion of this product. I was a little unsure about this purchase, my Dean acoustic is solid but alot more expensive, the Vendetta turned out to be one of my favorite guitars Ive ever owned! Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? plays as well as any guitar I've ever owned, which has been many, its fast, no buzz, light weight with a deep tone, very comfortable guitar to hold and play for hours Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Great tone for a $100 guitar, tuned it down and started playing and great tone...deep enuff for metal, bright enuff for blues, playing clean finger style ...great tone Finish How did the stain or paint job look? The finish sucks....the picture looks like a nice glossy wood finish and its not...finish is just awful....but dont let that warn you off this guitar Action How was the action out of the box? Action out of the box beat my Ibanez that was $1500...after the first 5 hours of playing I decided to leave the action alone, it plays smooth and fast as is!
Great guitar for a musician on a budget

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Its a guitar thats under a hundred and twenty dollars. If you are expecting it to sound and feel like a 380 Floyd, or an upper end Schecter you may be dissappointed, but overall its an amazing guitar. I forgot to mentin in the overall section, that the tremolo is GARBAGE, it barely moves and you are just going to knock your guitar ten types of out of tune trying. If you want it for the tremolo, save up and spend the extra 180 on the 350 Floyd with the locking nut. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I bought this to take back and forth to practice. My lead singers house gets frigid in the winter and autumn, and he lives in the middle of nowhere. I wanted a guitar that I wouldnt be too upset about something happening to it, but is holds up well, and I've actually played a couple of shows with it. It is an amazing guitar especially for the money. Overall Your general opinion of this product. Overall, I love the guitar. My fiance bought me the natural black finish version of the guitar for our anniversary last year. It sounds great, but dean's stock pick ups are always amazing. The finish was nothing like the picture showed wich is why I gave it a lower rating for the finish. It grew on me though. For a hundred and nineteen dollars you wont find a better guitar. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? The neck is fast, it is a very light guitar( at least in comparison to my Jackson Kelly that was my main axe for years) Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? The band I was in was mainly thrash and power metal, and it worked well for that. It has a great crunch and cleans up nice as well. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? I ordered the natural black which looked beautiful(I should mention that I got the guitar last year from another music store, not AMS because I didnt know this site existed) When it arrived, it looked nothing like the site had shown, but it did grow on me. Action How was the action out of the box? The neck is pretty thin and easily manouverable. I play alot of speed metal, thrash, black metal, and punk, and the neck is very fast.
aswome for the price

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? it could have been better. the switches and knobs were kinda loose when i got it and the wires not soldered right Reliability How has it stood up over time? very reliable. the only problem i had was the soldering but other than that it was always a good back up guitar when the others needed repair Overall Your general opinion of this product. Its pretty good besides the crappy soldering but that can easily be fixed. but make sure you do it before you forget which wire goes where. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? very light which isnt bad. the pickup switch will start to unscrew itself so just tighten it every now and then Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? pickups sucked but thats why its a beginners guitar Finish How did the stain or paint job look? very nice paint. although it said black, i enjoy the dark metallic green look it gets when its in the light Action How was the action out of the box? not bad but like the guy before me said, gets out of tune quickly with using tremolo arm
