DISC Dean USA Dime Stealth Flame Top, Trans Black

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 imposing body shape and set-neck 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.

The Seymour Duncan Dimebucker

Incorporating a Seymour Duncan Dimebucker in the bridge position, the Dean Dimebag Stealth can produce a range of high output tones thanks to the ceramic magnets and stainless steel blades. Delivering plenty of bite, punchy bass, crisp highs, and squealing harmonics, the Dimebucker provides player with the signature Dimebag Darrell tone.

The USA DMT DimeTime

Based on the pickups Dimebag Darrell used to record Cowboys From Hell, the DMT DimeTime humbucker packs a mighty punch with an aggressive high output and biting lead tone. Loaded with a ceramic magnet and designed with a DC resistance of 13.9K, the DimeTime humbucker is the ultimate pickup for capturing Dimebag's iconic lead tone.

Floyd Rose Tremolo

For many years Floyd Rose has been the leading manufacturer and designer of floating, locking tremolos. With a design that has stood strong for over 30 years, the Floyd Rose locking tremolo allows you to adjust the string tension and pitch with the removable whammy bar to create unique pitch shifting effects. Unlike non-locking tremolo's, the Floyd Rose bridge can make huge changes in pitch while still retaining the initial tuning thanks to the addition of a locking nut at the end of the headstock.

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 abalone dot 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.
