Key Features
Product Ref: 20495
One of the first models introduced by Dean in 1977 were the Z's. Like their counterpart the Dean ML series, they were designed with the ultimate in tone, sustain and playability in mind. These models have dramatic string angles at the bridge and nut and a string thru body design featuring the original V plate. The added string length created by the exclusive headstock coupled with the original Dean neck design is how the Z achieves its incredible ease of play. Still offered in their original configuration, the Z has withstood the test of time.
Loaded with two DMT Designed humbucking pickups in the bridge and neck positions, the Dean ZX delivers a powerful and punchy tone with plenty of bottom end and sparkling highs. Perfect for a range of playing styles and music genres, the DMT Designed humbuckers particularly excel when used for hard rock, screaming lead licks and chunky rhythm parts.
The ZX incorporates a string-thru body construction to provide improved tonality and sustain by transferring vibrations and resonance from the string to the body as it goes over the tune-o-matic bridge and passes through the body.
A mainstay on stages the world over, you too can become a part of Dean's distinctive Heritage that boasts some of Rock and metal's most famous names like, Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Doug Scarrat of Saxon.
