Dean Guitars Thoroughbred Select Flame Top
The Dean Thoroughbred Select Flame Top delivers classic single-cut tone with refined craftsmanship and modern performance. Built with an Eastern Mahogany body and a stunning flame maple arched top, this Select Series model offers rich resonance, strong sustain, and timeless visual appeal finished in Trans Brazilia.
A 3-piece Eastern Mahogany set-through neck provides smooth upper-fret access and enhanced sustain, while the ebony fingerboard with 22 jumbo stainless steel frets delivers fast, effortless playability. Equipped with Seymour Duncan TB-5 Custom and APH-1 pickups in a zebra finish, the Thoroughbred Select Flame Top produces powerful, articulate tones suitable for everything from classic rock to modern high-gain styles. Premium appointments like multi-ply binding, a Babicz bridge with Cadi tailpiece, Grover locking tuners, and glow-in-the-dark Luminlay side dots complete a guitar that blends classic style with modern reliability.
