Dean TB SEL Thoroughbred Electric w/ Fluence Pickups. Black Satin
The Dean Thoroughbred Select with Fluence pickups features the specs and aesthetics of the company's high-end line at a working musician's price. The satin-finished mahogany body has a set-in mahogany neck. With its C-shaped profile, your hands will comfortably fret up and down the neck with ease; the ebony fretboard's flat 12" radius makes it easier to bend strings without "fretting out."
Dean loaded the Thoroughbred Select with a pair of Fishman Fluence Modern pickups. These game-changing humbuckers are hum and noise free, with selectable voicing via the push/pull tone pot. Voice 1 is an ideal active alnico sound, full and round. Voice 2 is crisp, clean and fluid. You'll be able to dial-in the perfect tone with 500K audio taper pots which have a very smooth roll.
A string thru body tailpiece contributes to the guitar's sustain. Tuning is a breeze with Grover tuners. Other features include 5-ply body and headstock binding, single-ply neck binding and a chrome logo.
Designed by musicians for musicians, the guitars in the Select Series are made with the top level of craftmanship and the highest quality parts available. The Select Fluence Thoroughbred model feature a Satin Neck for ease of playing and endurance, Eastern Mahogany Bodie with 3pc eastern mahogany neck. With an easy access Set Through Neck Construction, and the addition of a set of Fishman Fluence moderns, the tonal options virtually endless. To top it off, these guitars feature 5ply Body and Headstock binding, a Chrome logo, and single ply Neck Binding for that extra splash of class.
