Here's a Guitar World video from the 2013 Winter NAMM Show, which took place January 24 to 27 in Anaheim, California. During the gear- and rain-filled weekend, we paid a visit to the gang at the Dean Guitars booth to check out some new gear. This video focuses on the company's new Chicago Series of guitars, which harkens back to Dean's late-'70s roots. The series includes vintage designs and colors.

Leslie West grew up in New York City and started out as one of the original members of The Vagrants. Of course, he is best known as the guitarist for the hard rock group Mountain, who Rolling Stone once called “a louder version of Cream.” The band gave us classics like “Mississippi Queen” and “Theme from an Imaginary Western” and was credited with helping the development of heavy metal.

Guitar World visited the Dean Guitars booth at last week's 2012 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California, to take a look at Dean's latest gear.
