Dean Guitars Introduces USA Custom Shop Vengeance w/Pickguard

Christian Wissmuller • Fretted • May 14, 2024

Dean Guitars® sets a new standard for six-string excellence with the unveiling of the USA Custom Shop Vengeance with pickguard. Simultaneously classic and aggressively cutting-edge in appearance, this instrument boasts an impressive array of design features that facilitate playing at the highest levels.

Crafted with a visually arresting mahogany body and featuring three-piece Mahogany set neck design, the Vengeance with pickguard is a tonal powerhouse with unmatched resonant sustain and stability. 22 stainless steel frets and a 24 5/8” scale length combine to allow for effortless access up and down the neck, setting the stage for slippery, lighting-fast leads and powerful chordal crunch. Playability is further matched to elegant aesthetics courtesy of an ebony fingerboard with Pearl Ultra inlays and cream binding. Additionally, bold glow-in-the-dark side dot markers enhance the guitar’s distinctive look, while helping to ensure ease of play even in the most dimly lit of venues.

The Vengeance sonic might is bolstered courtesy of both USA Baker Act and Time Capsule pickups. The signature pickups of shredder extraordinaire and mastermind of Dean’s DMT pickup line Pat Baker, Baker Acts provide unmatched grit, growl, and output. Meanwhile, the overwound Time Capsule is an aggressive dynamo that soars and sings, comfortably handling any degree of distortion. Both pickups feature tasteful gold covers, adding to the guitar’s overall top-tier appearance. High-end hardware appointments also include Grover 18:1 locking tuners with tulips heads for tuning stability with style, as well as a Tone Pros locking Tune-o-Matic-style bridge with brass string-through plate.

Feature-rich and meticulously crafted to bring out a player’s best, Dean’s USA Custom Shop Vengeance with pickguard is a stunning triumph of guitar design.
