The guitar pictured is the actual guitar you will receive! At The Farm, we take actual pictures of each instrument and make sure they are fully set-up and ready to play before we ship them. Each instrument goes through a multi-point inspection, followed by a set-up process by our in-house tech staff. We then photograph each instrument with high-quality equipment in our on-site photography studio. We know that details like wood grain and color finishes can vary, so we want you to be able to see, to the best of our ability, exactly what you will be receiving. This process takes over an hour for each instrument - from inspection to pictures. We care about the instrument we put into your hands! Rest assured your guitar was not just plucked off of a shelf and drop-shipped to you from a warehouse without the care that it, and you, deserve.   In 2013, Dean Guitars and Full Sail University of Florida got together and had a "Design A Guitar" contest, and this guitar design was the winner! Team name Defyent consisted of a handful of students that put together the idea for this guitar. “It boiled down to the total package. You gave us a product name that we thought was catchy, and the design of the guitar is definitely something that is Dean-centric but also stands out and would look like a new piece to our catalog,” said Curse Mackey, Dean's Director of Marketing. This guitar features a killer looking bubinga cap on a uniquely shaped mah body with a transparent purple finish. A set mah neck provides excellent sustain and the action is perfect for all the metal heads in the world looking to shred, and with a buttery smooth Ebony fretboard, that's exactly what you'll want to be doing. The team wanted to make a guitar that sounded just as good as it looked, so they designed it with the perfect pair of active EMG pickups. An EMG 85 in the neck and an EMG 81 in the bridge provide the perfect amount of grit to your tone. As a limited run, you won't find a guitar like this just anywhere, so get yours before they're gone! At The Music Farm, we take quality seriously! That is why we have our in-house technicians do a multi-point inspection on each product, ensuring that it'll be ready to play when it hits your hands! Included in your shipment will be instructions on care and maintenance.  We want to help you Grow Your Passion® The Music Farm is an Authorized Dean Dealer.
