Here's an elegant model designed by Dean in collaboration with Rusty Cooley of Outworld. If you're considering an 8-string guitar, this model has it all: great looks, feel and sound. The alder body is capped with a gorgeous layer of flamed maple and finished in hand-rubbed oil. The maple neck has an ultrathin profile with a compound radius and ebony fretboard. Active EMG-808 humbucking pickups are fully capable of reproducing the broad spectrum of 8-string tones. Includes hardshell case.
