Custom cut-outs. Trivium-T inlay. Dean USA pickups (including Beaulieu's signature Ascension pickup) and a Floyd Rose tremolo.

Overview

When Corey Beaulieu, co-lead guitarist for the metalcore band Trivium, wanted his own V-body styled guitar, he went to the amazing designers and technicians at Dean Guitars and together they have pulled off a great new take on a favorite body style beautifully! Custom cut-outs on the body, finished in a deep, classic red with black pinstripe bevels and featuring a Trivium T inlay, this guitar achieves a sublimely metal look that can't help but stand out.

And you can play it too!
The CBV1122 is fully loaded with Dean USA pickups (including Beaulieu's signature pickup The Ascension in the bridge position) and a licensed Floyd Rose Tremolo Bridge. Beaulieu's signature pickup, The Ascension, is a passive pickup with enough character and tonality for a lead guitarist but high gain enough to wail for the rhythm player. On the neck is Dean's Nostalgia pickup, a vintage style humbucker with the classic tones and balanced tonal response sought by all guitar players from all genres. All of that plus Dean's quality workmanship and the ever dependable Grover tuners and you've found your new favorite axe!

It can sing or it can scream. What do you want to say today?

"great metal guitar for the cash."

Overall:

(see rating details)

if this were stolen i would probly get another. it is by far my favoite guitar "so far."

Sound
the sound is awesome if u are looking for a guitar with heavy metal tones. if ur looking for a more classic rock or blues tone then this probly isnt the guitar for u. however it plays both of those decent, just not fantastic. if u wanna know what this guitar sounds like pop in a trivium cd like shogun. that sound can be had if u have a good enough amp. it is definatly a heavy tone and it is very pricise.

Features
came with every thing u need. case, allen wrenchs, floyed.

Ease of Use
this guitar is very modifiable. u can adjust every thing on this guitar, witch is good cause if urs comes like mine did e will adjust eveything. it took some time to get the right action i wanted, it came to low, but it was worth messing around with to get it right. also action doesnt get any lower on guitars, any lower in it touches the fretboard.

Quality
this guitar seems to be very solid. i havent had any problem with it yet. i would play it at a show without hesitation. and cosmeticly it is perfect, no blemishes.

Value
i would have to say it is well worth buying. and if trivium is as big as it looks like they will be it could very well be a collectors guitar some day. they dont make them any more. my advice if u want it get it while u still can.… read more

Manufacturer Support
havent delt with them but i hear they are great. and they were awesome with shiping, ordered monday night got it friday morning.

The Wow Factor
it is very sexy guitar. i am love for people to see me playing it. definatly grabs attention. and it is very light so u can run around on stage to ur hearts content.
