Dean ML 79, Blue Burst

Full Description

DMT Design Pickups

Featuring a pair of DMT Design humbucking pickups in the bridge and neck position, the ML 79 delivers a powerful and punchy tone with plenty of bottom end and highs. The DMT Design humbuckers are perfect for a range of playing styles and music genres. They particularly excel when used for hard rock.

ML Shaped Mahogany Body

The ML's unique body shape is guaranteed to make a strong statement on any stage. The ML shape was created by Dean Zelinsky in 1977 with the idea of spreading the mass of the body over a larger area, in order to maximise sustain and improve tone. The mahogany body delivers 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.

Smooth, Comfortable Neck

The Dean ML 79 guitar has a large, V-shaped headstock, which provides increased string angles and length for improved sustain. The mahogany, V shaped neck profile allows faster playing and is designed to it into some guitarist's hands more comfortably. The neck is coupled with an pau ferro fingerboard for enhanced articulation and attack which extends the tonal characteristics of the mahogany
