Dean V

Dean · electric guitar

The Dean V is Dean's take on the V shape, distinguished from Gibson's by the elongated pointed headstock Dean adopted in the late 1970s and a slightly wider body angle. Two humbuckers and a set or neck-through construction give it a thicker low midrange than the Gibson original, and its association with Dave Mustaine kept it a fixture in thrash.
