Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

V caused an increasing interest with guitar players, especially when you consider that it's built by a renowned guitar manufacturer such as Dean. It performs well both in studio and on stage, and will fit many different playing styles.

Every now and then a new guitar is made and it becomes a best seller, and Dean's V aims for that very title, as it offers some great features at a competitive price. Most musicians feel that Dean did a great job in achieving this, so you may be sure that this guitar has a lot to offer, should you choose it to be your guitar of choice.

You can plug this baby into a toaster and, God knows, maybe it would sound as great as it does with any other amp. Seriously, Dean made a V, a terrific sounding instrument that deserves all the praise it can get. There is simply no need to change any stock-provided parts built into this axe, as it sounds professional all the way. Dean's V is a flawlessly sounding instrument.

Ready to play out of the box, Dean's V is easy to set it up even more precise than usual, thanks to great hardware pieces it has built in. Handling and playing this kind of guitar is a pure joy as it stays in tune 90% of the time, regardless of the level of usage. It feels reliable and it really is, as Dean put great deal of time and effort to produce such a good-looking guitar that is behaving well, as V does.

This guitar will hold on really well as it is built well. Not to be battered as it is not the ultimate gigging tool; still, V will perform OK in most live situations. You might feel that it will let you down in you hour of need, but in reality this guitar will do just well. Should you feel unconfident, have a backup guitar ready and you'll have no worries with Dean's V.
