    Dean ML 79 Floyd Flame Top Electric Guitar

    The Dean ML 79 Floyd Flame Top pays homage to the original designs that put Dean on the map while integrating modern specifications for today's guitarist.

    Dean ML 79 Floyd Flame Top Resonant Tone Starts Here

    Resonant Tone Starts Here

    The core of the ML 79’s sound comes from its premium wood selection. The combination of mahogany and maple creates a balanced sonic profile that cuts through the mix with authority and warmth, ensuring your notes are heard clearly in any band setting.

    • Eastern Mahogany Body: Provides a warm, rich low-end and midrange response, offering the substantial sustain that rock and metal players rely on.
    • Flamed Maple Top: Adds a layer of brightness and snap to the tone while delivering a stunning visual aesthetic that stands out on any stage. 
    • Indian Rosewood Fretboard: Offers a smooth playing surface that adds warmth to the attack, making string bends and vibrato feel fluid and controlled.

    Engineered for Comfort and Simplicity

    Playability is paramount on the ML 79. Dean designed the neck and fretboard to accommodate fast playing styles without sacrificing comfort during long sessions, making it an excellent choice for technical players.

    • V-Shaped Neck Profile: The comfortable medium profile fits naturally in the hand, offering excellent leverage for chords and a smooth feel for fast solos.
    • Set Neck Construction: Enhances the transfer of vibration between the neck and body, resulting in superior resonance and singing sustain compared to bolt-on designs.
    • 22 Jumbo Frets: These larger frets make it easier to fret notes cleanly and execute wide bends with less effort, perfect for expressive lead playing.
