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. It combines the visual impact of the classic ML shape with upgraded electronics and hardware, creating an instrument that is as sonically powerful as it is visually striking.
Whether you’re playing intricate leads or heavy riffs, this guitar is engineered to deliver professional performance across a variety of genres.
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.
Professional-Grade Electronics and Hardware
To capture the full potential of its tonewoods, the ML 79 is equipped with high-quality components. From the pickups to the bridge, every element is chosen to ensure reliability and tonal versatility, giving you confidence in your gear.
Seymour Duncan Pickups: Loaded with a JB in the bridge and a '59 in the neck, this set covers everything from searing high-output metal tones to warm, articulate blues cleans.
Floyd Rose Special Tremolo: Allows for deep dive bombs and aggressive pitch shifting while maintaining excellent tuning stability, essential for modern lead techniques.
Precision Controls: Features 500K Audio Taper pots for a smooth volume roll-off that preserves high-end clarity, giving you dynamic control over your gain levels right from the guitar.
