In a harmonious blend of sonic innovation and playing comfort, Dean introduces the Exile Select Floyd Neck-Thru Archtop SBB. This guitar incorporates cutting-edge technology, including the Fishman Fluence Classic neck pickup and Fluence Modern bridge pickup in black nickel, offering players a versatile palette of tones.
The Fishman Fluence Classic neck pickup features a distinctive uncovered look and introduces a new authentic third voice, known as Voice 3, providing a truly authentic single-coil tone through Fluence technology. Users can explore various tones with Voice 1, delivering the classic vintage PAF sound, and Voice 2, maintaining a clear, airy chime for unreal highs. The Classic is complemented by the Fluence Modern bridge humbucker, a multi-voiced pickup free from hum, noise, and inductance issues. Together, these Fluence technologies produce a pure, uncorrupted musical tone, offering players almost unlimited tonal possibilities through dual modes, a volume control, push/pull tone knob, and a 3-way blade selector switch.
Enhancing the playing comfort, the Exile Select Floyd Neck-Thru Archtop SBB features a 5-piece maple walnut neck construction for optimal stability and resonance. A dual-action truss rod allows precise adjustments, ensuring the perfect playing experience. With high-fret access, 24 jumbo frets, and a 25.5-inch scale length, this guitar facilitates effortless string bending and a comfortable reach across the fretboard. The Slim D neck profile and 16-inch fretboard radius promote fluidity and consistent, clear articulation, with pearloid small offset dots providing a visual reference during fast-paced performances.
The Exile Select Floyd Neck-Thru Archtop SBB is equipped with a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, offering tuning stability and empowering musicians to explore dynamic whammy bar techniques without compromising pitch accuracy. The Floyd Rose R3 nut (1 11/16-inch width) is meticulously designed to uphold tuning integrity, enhance sustain, and provide precise string action adjustments. Grover 18:1 tuners contribute to tuning stability, and Dean’s chrome foil logo on the headstock adds an eye-catching contrast against the black hardware.
With thoughtful design and meticulous craftsmanship, Dean’s Exile Select Floyd Neck-Thru Archtop Black Burst inspires players to unlock their full potential and explore a diverse sonic landscape with confidence. Priced at $1499.00 USD, this guitar offers a fusion of sonic excellence and exceptional comfort for musicians seeking a premium playing experience.
