A run-through of Dean`s signature electrics from this year`s NAMM.

NAMM 2017 Dean Signature Electrics

Nine models made it onto the list of Dean electric signatures. Dimebag, Leslie West, Michael Angelo Batio and five Dave Mustaine tribute and signature models were introduced.

Dean`s NAMM lineup has seen nine electric guitar signature model premieres for 2017. Two for Dimebag, one for Leslie West, also one for Michael Angelo Batio and five models (split into two sub-series) for Dave Mustaine. Dimebag models included affordable Dimebag Dime Slime ML and Dimebag Pantera Vulgar Display of Power ML. There were no Stealth, Rebel or Razorback models. Leslie West`s range was refreshed with Leslie West Mountain Limited w/c model in Tobacco Sunburst.  Michael Angelo Batio is another guitar deity with signature line made by Dean. His series received only one new model, the inexpensive Michael Batio MAB. Dave Mustaine`s five-piece line for 2017 included three V and two Z(ero) models. V Dave Mustaine – Max Wheel, V Dave Mustaine – Terminated and V Dave Mustaine Korina made up the V, while Zero Dave Mustaine  - A Tout le Monde and Zero Dave Mustaine – Vic Rattlehead  made up the Z(ero) side.

Dean Dimebag Dime Slime ML is an intermediate class metal axe. It comes outfitted with the classic ML features, such as the Floyd Rose bridge, Bill Lawrence bridge pickup, 22-fret fingerboard over a short 24-3/4” scale and iconic ML body with set-in neck joint. For further info and complete specs list, check Dimebag Dime Slime ML detail page on our site or the official Dean website.

Dean Dimebag Pantera Vulgar Display of Power ML is a low-cost guitar with deceptively simple specs list. Mighty DMT Design humbucker in the bridge position and Floyd Rose Special bridge allow this axe to deliver all the Dimebag and Pantera essentials expected of a proper ML guitar. For further info and complete specs list, check Vulgar Display of Power ML detail page on our site or the official Dean website.

Dean Leslie West Mountain Limited w/c is, just like the previous model, a one-pickup tone machine. Flat mahogany body, set mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard form a simple, short-scaled (24-3/4”) chassis. Vintage paint job and hardware increase the cool factor of this blues-rock axe even further. For further info and complete specs list, check Leslie West Mountain detail page on our site or the official Dean website.

Dean Michael Batio MAB brings all of the essentials around which MAB`s signature series is built. A modern double-cut body, locking bridge & nut, 24-fret fingerboard, bolt-on construction and powerful passive pickups. Gold Relic is the only currently available color scheme.

Dean V Dave Mustaine Korina is the third member of the trio of Dave Mustaine V signatures. Unlike the previous two, this one features no custom graphics or a Megadeth-related name. Solid and flat all-korina body, set neck, 24-fret fingerboard and active Seymour Duncan pickups deliver a killer tone and killer presence. For further info and complete specs list, check Korina detail page on our site or the official Dean website.

Dean Zero Dave Mustaine A Tout le Monde continues the custom graphic trend featured in the V section. This time the name comes from Megadeth`s probably most popular ballad of all time. Along with the Z-shaped mahogany body, this six-stringed axe boasts DMT Design pickups, 24-fret fingerboard, set-in neck and black hardware. For further info and complete specs list, check A Tout le Monde detail page on our site or the official Dean website.

Dean Zero Dave Mustaine Vic Rattlehead Is dedicated to Megadeth`s mascot,  stich-mouthed skeleton named Vic Rattlehead. Solid, mahogany-made Zero body, set-in neck (with 25-1/2” scale), Seymour Duncan pickups (with Dave`s signature Passive Aggressive humbucker in bridge position) and 24-fret fingerboard guarantee the ultimate thrash metal experience. For further info and complete specs list, check Vic Rattlehead detail page on our site or the official Dean website.
