Dean ML Bolt On Guitar, Trans Brazilburst

Dean ML Bolt On Guitar, Trans Brazilburst Review



Dean ML Bolt On Guitar, Trans Brazilburst Feature

  • Basswood body with Braziliaburst finish
  • 24-3/4-inch scale, 22-fret bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fingerboard and dot inlays
  • Pair of Dean humbuckers with two volume controls, tone, and three-way toggle
  • Tune-o-Matic bridge with string-thru-body design
  • Grover tuning machines
Dean's X Series offers some of Dean's most popular body styles--the ML, V, and Z--at an affordable price. But they don't skimp on components, with a pair of high-output Dean humbuckers, Grover tuners, a Tune-o-Matic bridge. Dean style and dependability are an added bonus.

MLX at a Glance

  • Body wood: Basswood
  • Neck Construction: Bolt-on
  • Neck wood: Maple
  • Fretboard: Rosewood
  • Inlays: Dot
  • Frets: 22
  • Scale: 24-3/4"

Tune-o-Matic bridge and Dean zebra humbuckers.

Classic Dean headstock with Grover tuners.

The Dean X Series
The Dean X Series offers ML, V and Z style guitars at a price that won't break the bank. These guitars feature maple necks, rosewood fretboards, dual humbuckers, and plenty of Dean mojo, and are built to rock--perfect for beginners and veterans alike.

Basswood Body
The MLX features a lightweight basswood body. Basswood is great for heavier rock and metal styles, delivering a nice even tone that feeds a dirt pedal (or a dimed Marshall) nicely.

Bolt-On Construction
Bolt-on neck construction provides 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 Dimeblade's maple neck features an ultra-playable 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, with classic dot inlays.

Dean Humbucker Pickups
To capture the biting tones of vintage Deans, the company includes two of its standard humbuckers, in black-and-white "zebra" style for looks as good as the sounds. And what to expect tonally? 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. Each pickup gets a volume pot, and they share the tone control.

Grover Tuners
If you play guitar then you know what this means--solid, dependable tuning from the industry standard. These guitar machines are a triumph in engineering and style, with a gear ratio of 14:1, perfect gear meshing, and zero backlash and slippage. The gear box has a special lubricant for lifetime, trouble-free service.

Tune-o-Matic Bridge
The Tune-o-Matic bridge with string-thru body design provides serious sustain, along with precise intonation for your tuning preference. The classic v-shaped plate mirrors the headstock wings for some nice vintage Dean style.

Dean Markley 2514 Helix Hd Electric Review



Dean Markley 2514 Helix Hd Electric Feature

  • Made for blues or rock with a wound and plain G stringNickel-plated steelFeatures Hyper-Elliptical Winding process for smoother playGauges: .010, .014, .022w/.018p, .028, .038, .049
Gauges: .010, .014, .022w/.018p, .028, .038, .049Made of nickel-plated steel, Dean Markley HELIX HD electric guitar STAR strings are a little heavier with a wound and a plain G string, making it a little meatier for blues and rock players. It took over a year and many trials for the Dean Markley team to find just the precise elliptical shape for the winding wire that make up the patent-pending, Hyper-Elliptical Winding process of the Helix HD. This shape then had to be paired with the correct winding process that would produce these stupendous results—the maximum mass for the electric guitar string's diameter that still maintained the string's vibrancy.The Hyper-Elliptical Winding process results in an increased number of wraps along the length of the electric guitar string. This increases the mass of your string, without changing its diameter or material.More mass makes a fuller tone; more windings give a smoother feel as well as a brighter, more resonant tone. This provides a smoothness and performance unrivaled by conventional strings.When you press and strum a normal wrap wire, your fingers experience resistance as they go down into each depression between the wraps. With the Dean Markley HELIX HD electric guitar strings you'll experience smoothness. These less coarse wrappings let your fingers glide more easily and smoothly along the surface of the wrap wire.

Tune-o-Matic bridge with V-shaped ferrule pattern, Dean "Time Capsule" humbuckers.

Grover tuners.

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.

Mahogany Body
As with most of their instruments, Dean uses a mahogany body for the Vendettas. Mahogany is a common choice for electrics, dependably delivering a warm, full tone with plenty of punch and sustain.

The quilted maple top and back means a guitar that looks amazing, and it also focuses and brightens that mahogany tone a bit.

Neck-Through-Body Construction
The Vendetta 4.0 features neck-through construction, which is typically found on high-end instruments. This means maximized sustain, resonance throughout the whole instrument, further tuning stabilization, and (as with set necks) easier access to the upper frets.

The 25.5-inch scale maple neck features a rosewood fingerboard with pearl "Evil Eye" inlays.

Dean Humbucker Pickups
To capture the biting tones of vintage Deans, the company includes two of its "Time Capsule" humbuckers.
