A fierce construction
A quilt maple top. It makes for an undeniably sumptuous instrument. Not only does it look amazing with its Scary Cherry finish, but maple also exudes glorious, crystal-clear sound. Experience a glistening, bright tone and incredible dynamics that never sacrifice clarity. It is the type of clarity that separates the notes of the thickest of chords. Even with obscene volume levels, you'll have astounding articulation and minimal feedback, so you can be sure that only pristine, electrifying sonic goodness will be heard.

Complementing the maple top are mahogany back and sides. Mahogany's excellent stability and durability lends itself to never-ending fearless playing and fiery performances whilst its punchy tonal capabilities take your sound to new heights. Not only that, it also emphasises the low to midrange frequencies to give you wonderful resonance and yet still delivers that all-important balance for added versatility. So you can be sure that when you're letting those top notes scream, you'll still have a sea of resonance beneath for a full, immersive sound.

A maple neck brings more unwavering strength whilst the bolt-on construction enhances sound with some snap and bite. The Indian rosewood fretboard then ensures you have silky playability. You'll be able to fret at speed and with fluidity. Slide from fret to fret without anything slowing you down; your performance will be seamless.

Hot and spicy sound
As well as eclectic tonewoods, the Dean ML X Quilt Maple boasts DMT Design High Output Zebra pickups. They are the real stars of the show. Equipped at the bridge and neck, these humbuckers promise a tone that can blaze fiercely through any mix. Bringing an immersive low end and sparkling highs, they encompass punchy and powerful sonic qualities across the whole frequency range. Push these pickups hard and they will excel during screaming lead licks and chunky rhythm parts. And thanks to individual volume controls for each pickup and a tone control, you can uniquely tailor your sound to suit you. Magical.

It's all in the details...
From first glance, the striking, astounding beauty of this guitar is obvious. But when you look closer, you'll find that every tiny aspect of this instrument showcases premium craftsmanship. From the sealed die cast tuners to the Tune-o-matic bridge, from the pearloid dot inlays to the single ply white binding, the hardware and details contribute to a mesmerising aesthetic and pristine sound. Take to the stage with confidence and get ready for an exhilarating playing experience.
