Dean Guitars releases the 2020 MD 24 model from the Select Series
Dean Guitars’ 2020 Select Series is now complemented with the new MD 24 Select models. The MD 24 models are built with a satin necks, easy-access heel joints, and exclusive direct-mount Seymour Duncan pickups. The guitar come with an optional Floyd Rose tremolo system.
Dean offers four different MD 24 Select models. The MD 24 Select Floyd Classic White and MD 24 Select Flame Top Floyd Trans Cherry are built with the high-end Floyd Rose 1000 Series tremolo system at the bridge and Floyd Rose R3 nut (1 11/16’’ width) and the other two non-Floyd models, the MD 24 Select Classic White and MD 24 Select Flame Top Trans Cherry, which sports the Tune-O-Matic hardtail bridge with Dean’s exclusive Cadi tailpiece for ease and sustain.
The guitar has a custom basswood body for a strong midrange and is well-suited for loud high-gain tones.
The aim of the luthiers was to balance a cool aesthetic with extreme playability. The combination of exclusive Seymour Duncan APH-1N and TB-5/SH-5 pickups is chosen by Dean in order to pursue a wide range of tones, from high-gain metal to sparkling cleans and everything in between. The APH-1N Alnico II Pro at the neck is sensitive to pick attacks. The TB-5/SH-5 custom bridge pickup complement the setup for the electronics.
MD 24 Select models have a bolt-on, 3-piece maple neck (25 ½’’ inch scale) with dual-action truss rod for an extra midrange punch. The C-shape neck has 24 jumbo frets with an ebony fretboard (12’’ radius) and pearloid dot inlays. It has Grover tuners and black hardware for a sleek aesthetic, while neck and headstock binding top off the design.
With the MD 24 Select models, players have plenty of sophisticated options at affordable price points. The MD 24 Select Flame Top Floyd Trans Cherry is available at a street price of $849; the MD 24 Select Floyd Classic White at $799; the MD 24 Select Flame Top Trans Cherry at $699; and the MD 24 Select Classic White at $649.
