View Full DescriptionDynamic DMT pickups
Blaze through the mix. The Dean Thoroughbred X Floyd is loaded to the brim with features that will make the walls shake and the ground tremble. Equipped at the bridge and neck are DMT Design humbuckers; they produce a tone that is superbly punchy and encompasses an immersive low end and sparkling highs. Perfect for hard rock, push these pickups to their potential and they will excel during screaming lead licks and chunky rhythm parts. And thanks to individual tone and volume controls for each pickup, you can uniquely tailor your sound to suit you. Magical.
Silky, sleek, striking
A black satin finish. A glorious sheen. It makes for an undeniably sumptuous instrument. And each note will flow in smooth fashion too. Radiating beautifully with such a dazzling finish is a mahogany body. Mahogany is a brilliantly sturdy and durably tonewood that lends itself to fierce playing and will never suffer. There's nothing holding you back. Not only that, it also emphasises the low to midrange frequencies to give you a wonderfully resonant tone with excellent punchy qualities. This teams perfectly with the humbuckers, so you know that when you're letting those top notes scream, you'll still have a sea of resonance beneath for a full, immersive sound.
A maple neck complements the mahogany body by also bringing unwavering strength. Maple will take your tone even further by enhancing it with gleaming clarity - the type of clarity that separates the notes of the thickest of chords. Even with incredible volume, you'll have astounding articulation and minimal feedback, so you can be sure that only pristine, electrifying sonic goodness will be heard. And thanks to the smooth rosewood fingerboard, you'll be able to fret at speed and with fluidity. Slide from fret to fret without anything slowing you down; your performance will be seamless.
Quality in every detail
It might look minimalistic, but the Thoroughbred X Floyd is certainly enchanting. From the sealed die cast tuners to the arched top contour, from the C shaped neck to the elegant single ply white binding, everything has been meticulously designed to provide smooth playability, dazzling aesthetic, and wondrous sound. But the star of the show is the Floyd Rose FR20 tremolo. This premium-quality bridge, along with a locking nut, is perfect for lead tones and decimating sound. Go crazy with those thrilling pitch bends, you'll always retain incredible tuning stability.
