Full Description

Stunning 5A Quilted Maple Top & Alder Body

The Dean Vinman 2000 delivers powerful tones and captivating looks, equipped with a 5A grade quilted maple top in a beautiful natural gloss to enhance anyone’s stage presence. Not only does the maple top look stunning, it also adds a subtle amount of warmth and brightness to the overall tone for a sparkling high-end. The maple is coupled with an alder body, which is strong enough to resist twisting and warping but light enough for a comfortable playing experience. Alder is the perfect tonewood for versatile musicians, offering a rich, full tone with plenty of warmth and sustain to create a cutting midrange and stunning low-end.

Trio of Versatile DiMarzio & USA DMT Pickups

Vinnie Moore's signature Vinman 2000 Guitar is equipped with his own signature USA DMT humbucker, coupled with DiMarzio's Fast Track and Vintage Blues single-coils for a truly versatile performance. The DMT Humbucker is Vinnie's first signature pickup, designed to capture his iconic sound with plenty of crunch and high-end punch. The Fast Track provides players with double the output of a standard single-coil, producing a hot and muscular tone with a very bright and clear soundscape. The Vintage Blues delivers more power and warmth than typical single-coils, suitable for both light and harsh picking, and opens up beautifully with overdriven amps.

Floyd Rose Original Tremolo

For many years Floyd Rose has been the leading manufacturer and designer of floating, locking tremolos. With a design that has stood strong for over 30 years, the Floyd Rose Original locking tremolo allows you to adjust the string tension and pitch with the removable whammy bar to create unique pitch shifting effects. Unlike non-locking tremolo's, the Floyd Rose bridge can make huge changes in pitch while still retaining the initial tuning thanks to the addition of a locking nut at the end of the headstock.

Classic Maple Neck & Fingerboard

Vinnie Moore's Signature Vinman 2000 also features a maple neck and fingerboard, with a bolt-on construction to deliver striking tones and a comfortable performance. Moore's custom spec’d C-shaped neck is designed for the ultimate comfort, while the addition of 22 jumbo frets offers extra versatility and a smooth playing feel. The maple provides the overall tone with an incredibly bright characteristic, offering plenty of sweet soundscapes to create shining highs and smooth lows. The neck and fingerboard have also been given a smooth finish, allowing players to deliver high speed playing and slides with ease.

Incredibly Stable Performance

Along with its excellent comfort and wide tonal options, this Dean Guitar features a selection of high-quality hardware to provide an incredibly stable performance. Its Grover tuners and Floyd Rose R2 nut ensures the Dean Vinman 2000 Guitar remains in tune, even against harsh playing style, while its D’Addario strings provide excellent playing comfort and a long lifespan.
