Dean MLXM Solid Wood Mahogany
The ML was created by Dean Zelinsky
in 1977 to be the guitar with the ultimate sustain and tone. The ML
was created with the Dean concept of spreading the mass of the body
over a large area, but the ML has something more. Radical string
angles is a concept we believe adds to resonance that help a guitar
become more alive. The distinctive headstock creates extra long
string length, giving the ML a sound like no other! Played by many
of rock's elite over the past two decades, the ML has appeared in
award winning videos, on stage and album covers and more importantly
on some of rocks finest recordings. Dean has made the ML available
to other manufacturers with exclusive licensing arrangements.
The Dean MLXM Electric Guitar is proof that you don't have to lay
out the big bucks to play a hard core rock guitar. The "V" style
Paulownia body sports a mahogany finish, with a maple neck and
rosewood fingerboard. Dean design humbucker pickups pump out plenty
of raw, uncensored tone. Die-cast tuners provide accurate, easy
tuning. The body implements a string-thru design.

This is the most well known Dean Guitar due to the radical look and V
shaped Headstock and V shaped tailpiece. It was popularized by the
guitarist Dimebag Darrell. It is one of the most well known heavy metal
guitars and has received many tributes from guitarists such as Michael
Angelo Batio and Dave Mustaine of Megadeth. A special feature of this
guitar that was different to many guitars at the time is that the neck
had a slight "v" shape to it, which allowed for fast playing, yet it was
still strong. Also this shape allowed it to fit into the hand more
comfortably. The mass of the guitar is spread out over a wider area than
most guitars in order to maximize sustain. The "V"-shaped headstock and
"string-through-body" design are also used to increase sustain and
improve tone. It was named in honour of the late Mat Lynn, who was a
childhood friend of Dean. The Dean ML is a combination of a Flying V and
Explorer. |
About Dean Guitars - A Quick
History Lesson...
Dean Guitars was born in 1976, in the attic of the Chicago suburban childhood
home of company founder Dean B. Zelinsky. The eighteen-year-old Zelinsky was
convinced that guitar design and manufacturing had hit a wall. Rock music was
huge and guitar makers were failing to keep up with the times. The world was
ready for a guitar that looked, played, and sounded superior to what was
available from manufacturers at that time. Zelinsky had a better idea.
What followed was a line of electric guitars that for the first time allowed
players to play to their potential. With its highly visible V-shaped headstock
and trademark wing logo, Dean became in effect, the first boutique guitar line
in the history of rock music.
These guitars had to be played to be believed, and played they were! Dean
guitars started showing up on rock stages worldwide, album covers, and
especially on the newly emerging channel called MTV. Dean Guitars were featured
in the award-winning MTV Video of the Year three of the first four years
running. By the time Dean created the famous Spinning Fur Guitars Dean’s early
place in Rock history was firmly cemented.
Over 30 years later, you can still buy the same USA made boutique Dean Guitars.
Today, Dean Guitars has taken that same concept of creating a superior
instrument to a whole new level. Dean is now a full line of fretted instruments
including electric and acoustic guitars, basses, jazz guitars, resonators,
banjos and mandolins. More importantly, Dean is dedicated to delivering these
fine quality instruments at a value that is second to none. |
