I bought this EVO XM because I needed some electric LP scale guitar for home playing, upgradable and inexpensive. Out from the box it needed some set up, it's normal for any guitar. Action was a little too high, frets on the neck sides needed filing and overall polishing - not a big deal. Then all screws on the guitar, I mean ALL: neck bolts, pickup screws, jack nut itself etc. - all have to be tighten up, of course you have to put a new set of strings, I think light custom 9-46 is fine for this guitar. Tuner keys - I changed them immediately for Sperzel lock tuners, then plastic nut had to go, I put Graph Tech trem nut and the bridge I replaced with roller tunematic. Tailpiece - string holes have to be rimmed a little. Maybe I will change pickups later, but now it is a good sounding guitar and the basswood body has a decent sustain. If you love projects this guitar is a good thing to work with.Get more detail about Dean EVO XM Solid Body Electric Guitar, Mahogany Finish.
