What guitar is this?

[Wastelander]

Hi.

Hope all is well. I have recently bought this guitar but I have no idea on what it is. All I know is that it's a Dean.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all.

Firstly 

On the guitar front, I can’t help you I’m afraid. It looks decidedly ‘80s with that Kramer Superstrat styling.

An early Dean Vendetta perhaps?

Thanks for the welcome and also thank you for the answers. Maybe I've just come across something a little unique.

I think it might be a Dean DS90 - made 1994-96 in Korea. The seem to either come with 3 a side or 6 a side headstocks and with standard or EMG style pickups.

Seems likes someone bought a US Fender HM Strat and customized it, putting the Dean brand and changing the fret dots to those you see now. Did you buy it off of someone?

Yes. Through Facebook. Payed £50. But I loved the style and colour.

I've found it! It's a Dean DS90.

Could be a custom if it's a bolt on neck. Also could be an early / budget model - I'd expect this style of guitar to almost always have a Floyd Rose... if my old eyes don't deceive me, that's a classic Fender six-screw type trem. I think a lot of cheaper guitars early on stuck with that type of trem to cut out the licensing fee on a FR copy. Which is not by any means to say it's not a great guitar, just probably less quick to return to tune if you're big on the divebombs! Personally, if I were gonig SuperStrat I'd prefer this sort of bridge, saves so much time in restringing!

Worth maybe contacting Dean by email to see if they can point you in the right direction?
