Dean have equipped the Thoroughbred Select Quilt Top with two Seymour Duncans that are sure to absolutely annihilate your speakers as well as mesmerise your audience. The SH-5 Custom Zebra at the bridge offers supreme, tight lows and a prominent upper midrange for a brilliantly crunchy sound. The airy high end then thrives with both distortion and clean tones. Allowing for the kind of versatility that begs your creativity, the APH-1 positioned at the neck delivers a crisp sound that evens out the higher end, giving it a slightly warmer feel. It is perfect for lead tones and promises an explosive performance.
Silky, sleek, striking
A quilt maple top. It makes for an undeniably sumptuous instrument. Not only does it look amazing with its Ocean Burst finish, but each note will flow in smooth fashion too. Maple delivers a bright tone with plenty of volume, and never sacrifices clarity. It is the type of clarity that separates the notes of the thickest of chords. Even with incredible dynamics, you'll have astounding articulation and minimal feedback, so you can be sure that only pristine, electrifying sonic goodness will be heard.
Complementing the maple top are mahogany back and sides. Mahogany is a brilliantly sturdy and durable 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.
Built for fearless playing
A 3-piece mahogany neck brings more unwavering strength whilst the sumptuous ebony fretboard ensures you have silky playability. Ebony's naturally high oil content gives it a sensationally smooth finish, meaning 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
The Thoroughbred Select Quilt Top is certainly enchanting. From the Grover tuners to the arched top contour, from the C shaped neck to the sturdy Tune-o-matic bridge, everything has been meticulously designed to provide smooth playability, dazzling aesthetic, and wondrous sound.
