| Duncan Dimebucker and Dean humbucker, Floyd Rose Tremolo bridge. | Would it really be an ML without the winged headstock? | The Dean ML: Now in Acoustic Dean fans have often requested an acoustic take on the classic ML body shape. Dean listend, and offers up this black beauty. Plug it in or go acoustic--either way it's sure to catch a lot of looks. Mahogany Body Mahogany is a great choice for oddball acoustic shapes like this one. It's a dense wood with a thicker tone, providing very pronounced and resonant midrange frequencies. This means you still get a rich, full-range sound despite the fact that the MLCoustic is anything but traditional. Set Mahogany Neck The set mahogany neck matches the mahogany body, for a full, thick tone with a somewhat compressed attack. The 24-3/4-inch scale neck features a rosewood fingerboard and pearl dot inlays. Dean-Designed Bridge The rosewood bridge features a stylish wing design to match the angles of the MLCoustic. Dean Buffer Preamp Plug in and adjust your tone with the on-board Dean preamp. Features a three-band EQ for dialing in just the right sound and coping with feedback and other annoyances. Dean Tuners Dean's sealed diecast tuners grace the trademark Dean headstock, and ensure you stay in tune no matter how hard you're strumming. |
