Classic Black

The ML was created by Dean Zelinsky in 1977 to be the guitar with ultimate sustain and tone. Created with the Dean concept of spreading the mass of the body over a large area, the MLX electric guitar has something more. Dean believes radical string angles add to the resonance that helps a guitar become more alive. The distinctive headstock creates extra long string length, giving the ML a sound like no other guitar! Played by many of rock's elite over the past two decades, the ML has appeared in award winning videos, on stage and album covers, and more importantly, on some of rock's finest recordings.

With a light, basswood body, Grover tuners and a Tune-o-matic-style bridge, you can't go wrong with the Dean MLX!

Great guitar, with a great price

this is a greast guitar for how much you spend. my only problem with it is that the pickups arent great when you play with loads of distortion. all the deans ive bought except for one, have come with these pups, and ive changed them all for good pickups that can handle loads of distortion, and that come with the zebra type finnish (compliments the look of the guitar alot!). if you are going to do so, try dean bakeracts. now back to the guitar itself. the neck on this thing is amazing. you can really shred. i like how it doesnt come with a floyd. im getting sick of having to tune them. the body will feel a little akward if this is your first non-conventinal shaped guitar, but youll get used to it fast ad love it.

now if only Dean could make a baritone version of a ml. it would make sense since most people who play them play metal.

This is a great guitar! I love mine so much, it even beats some of my more spendy guitars. Great for the money and looks great, but it needs better pickups. The stock pickups it comes with doesnt sound so greeat on distortion especially whe your palm mutting. Over all buy this guitar

I bought this guitar a few months ago and found out that I should have saved up and gotten a better guitar. The main problem with it is it is very heavy, and very awkward to play, but it sounds ok.

I bought this guitar a couple of years ago. I traded a Schecter Omen 6 for it. And as soon as I put it into my amp I was blown away. I love the deep tone this baby puts out.
