Up for sale is a stunning 2002 Dean USA Hardtail in the classic Amberburst finish.
Built in Dean’s Tampa, Florida factory under the direction of Dean Zelinsky, guitars from this era are highly regarded for their boutique-level craftsmanship and exceptional attention to detail. This example features a hand-selected, true 5A Master Grade flame maple top with incredible ribbon figure and depth across the carved top. It looks every bit as impressive in person as it does in photos.
This is a professional-grade instrument with outstanding tone, sustain, and playability.

Pickups: Seymour Duncan JB (bridge) and ’59 (neck)

Condition
The guitar is in excellent condition and has been exceptionally well cared for. It shows only a few light pick marks on the top and a handful of very minor surface scratches on the back that are only visible under direct light. Overall, it presents beautifully.
The neck is straight, the frets have virtually no wear, and all electronics function exactly as they should. It plays great as-is, though it has spent some time safely stored in its case in a climate-controlled environment, so a fresh setup would allow the next owner to dial it in to their preferred string gauge and action.
Included
Original Dean USA hardshell case (brown textured exterior, white piping, gold hardware, and white Dean wings logo)
Original case key
Factory adjustment tools/hex wrenches
