DISC Dean USA Dave Mustaine ZERO Flame Top, Tiger Eye

Full Description

Mahogany & Flamed Maple Top

The dense and heavy nature of the mahogany body gives this Signature Dean Guitar an impressive amount of sustain and resonance, delivering a warm and overall balanced tone. The mahogany tonewood ensures there is plenty of depth, grind, and bite, offering an incredibly dynamic sound suitable for a wide range of playing styles. Its single cutaway design, along with a bolt-on construction, offers incredible comfort and a smooth performance when accessing the higher frets. The body is finished off with a beautifully stunning and unique flamed maple top, which not only provides a unique aesthetic, but also enhances the overall tone with extra brightness.

Seymour Duncan Live Wire Humbuckers

Loaded with two Seymour Duncan Livewire humbuckers, the Dave Mustaine ZERO offers a super high output without losing any of the organic sound qualities associated with Seymour Duncan pickups. Designed to capture Mustaine's classic JB/Jazz pickup combination, the Live Wire humbuckers deliver his signature passive tone with an active performance. Its smooth upper midrange crunch is reminiscent of the iconic JB pickup, while the articulate warmth and beautiful clarity captures the stunning soundscapes of the Jazz humbucker. This iconic coupling injects the set of Live Wire humbuckers with a truly captivating performance, producing Mustaine's legendary tones and touch sensitivity.

TonePros Tune-O-Matic Bridge

The addition of a TonePros tune-o-matic bridge improves the overall tone and sustain of this Signature Dean Guitar, offering an adjustable intonation to ensure you can deliver the best performance. The benefit of a TonePro bridge is its incredible stability, designed to remain in place and not move or wiggle during performances. Its string-through-body setup helps improve the overall tonality and sustain, increasing the amount of vibrations and resonance transferred from the strings to the body as they go over the tune-o-matic bridge and passes through the mahogany.

Smooth Mahogany Neck & Ebony Fingerboard

With its mahogany neck and ebony fingerboard, this Signature USA Dean offers an incredibly strong tonal character with dark punchy lows and crisp, sizzling highs. The addition of an ebony fingerboard enhances the natural characteristics of the mahogany, creating plenty of depth and midrange punch to suit a variety of playing styles. The fingerboard is equipped with jumbo frets to make vibrato and string bends easier, while its pearl Dave Mustaine custom inlays creates a stunning look that adds to the overall aesthetics.

Classic Set-Neck

The neck features a set-in construction with a smooth heel, providing advanced playability while optimising resonance transfer between the neck and body. Unlike bolt-on constructions, set-in necks can be sculpted into a smoother and ergonomic heel to provide seamless accessibility to the higher register.
