DMT Schenker Lights Out pickups

Whip up a sonic firestorm. Loaded with two DMT Schenker Lights Out humbuckers, the Schenker Custom produces a devastating array of tones. Designed to the specification of Michael Schenker, these pickups aim to give you his signature sound. Enjoy detailed mids and crisp highs that bring out the nuance in your notes, while a thunderous low end instils an enormous presence in your music. Finished in an alluring black and white zebra pattern, these stunning pickups blend in seamlessly…

Magic of the mahogany

Mahogany creates a warm and rich tone with excellent depth. It also offers durability and a tone which will mature over the years, for a long lasting investment. Mahogany has distinct tonal characteristics, for a full and deep sound with plenty of bite. The resonant tone makes it an ideal companion for punchy rock music, like Schenker's own style.

Rapid playability

Unleash those searing Schenker solos. Featuring the fluid feel and fast-playing attitude that the man himself displays on stage, his Dean Custom signature is built to let you express yourself with ease. To that end, the neck is fashioned into a highly comfortable "C" shape, letting you zip around the positions at top speed without any strain or fatigue on your hands. Paired with a wonderfully sleek ebony fretboard, you'll have no trouble traversing the scales at maximum tempo.

Rock solid reliability

Sustain is the aim. And the Schenker Custom has it in spades. Featuring a Graph Tech Tusq nut, Tune-O-Matic bridge and a string-through-body design, this guitar will have your notes ringing for an eternity. Not only will you enjoy extra presence in your sound, but also exceptional clarity, as these components work in unison to promote clear vibrations and minimal buzz.

And if all that wasn't enough, the bridge and Dean tuners combine to award you fantastic tuning stability, so you can pump the metal rhythms all night long without slipping out of pitch.
