Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Dean USA Vinman 2000 is Vinnie Moore's signature model featuring a 5A quilt maple top over alder body, bolt-on birdseye maple neck with birdseye maple fingerboard and custom C-shaped profile, and 25.5 inch scale. The guitar combines a USA DMT Vinnie Moore signature humbucker with two DiMarzio noise-cancelling single coils and features 22 jumbo frets, Grover tuners, and a Floyd Rose Original bridge. The maple top coupled with lightweight alder delivers warm tone with sparkling highs and stunning lows, capturing Vinnie Moore's distinctive voice with plenty of crunch and high-end punch suitable for shred and fusion lead work.
This black Fender American Telecaster, marked Sendero Luminoso, is associated in this catalogue with Tom Morello, guitarist for Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave, whose guitars carry political stencilled slogans reflecting his activism. Sendero Luminoso, Spanish for Shining Path, refers to the Peruvian Maoist guerrilla organisation, and its presence as a marking on this guitar is consistent with the provocative political messaging Morello has stencilled onto his instruments throughout his career, though the specific guitar and slogan combination is not independently documented in detail here.
