Dean gets fired up with the MD24 Floyd Roasted Maple Vintage electric guitar
Shred-ready model sports roasted maple neck and fingerboard, Floyd 1000 Series tremolo, and Vintage Blue and Vintage Orange finishes
Dean has unveiled the new MD24 Floyd Roasted Maple Vintage electric guitar, featuring a neck and fingerboard made, of course, from roasted maple, as well as two fresh finishes, Vintage Blue and Vintage Orange.
The shred-ready guitar also boasts a Floyd 1000 Series tremolo system and direct-mount Seymour Duncan TB5/APH-1 sandblasted Zebra pickups to cover all your high-gain, dive-bombing needs.
Other features on the MD24 include a solid basswood body with a Flat Top and a contoured arm cut, bolt-on construction and a 25.5’’ scale.
The roasted maple neck, meanwhile, sports a player-friendly “C” shape, dual-action truss rod and a satin finish. The matched fingerboard has a 12” radius, 24 jumbo frets and abalone dot inlays.
There’s also Grover 18:1 tuners, a single volume control, three-way toggle switch and black hardware.
The MD24 Floyd Roasted Maple Vintage Blue and MD24 Floyd Roasted Maple Vintage Orange electrics are available for $849 each.
