Here for sale we have a Dean DCR SPLTF TBK Custom Run #12 SplitTail Solid in a Trans Black. Dean Custom Run guitars are unique guitars produced in very limited numbers, with this example being number 15 of 100. Crafted in Korea in 2015, this guitar features a set neck construction comprising a Mahogany body with a flamed Maple veneer, Mahogany neck and 22 fret Ebony fingerboard. This guitar is fitted with a Floyd Rose 1000 bridge, sealed Grover tuning machines, along with eye catching pearloid block inlays. The pickups installed are a set of active EMG 81/85 pickups, wired to a 3-way toggle switch and independent volume and tone controls.
The neck profile is carved into a ‘V’ profile, this is a comfortable profile which is similar to a ‘C’ shape but comes to a sharper point allowing the thumb to comfortable grip the neck.The set-neck construction and double cutaway provides excellent access to the upper register, and along with the Ebony fingerboard and gloss finish a smooth playing experience can be expected in all registers. The double locking Floyd Rose tremolo provides sublime tuning stability even with the most aggressive of playing.
Equipped in this instrument are a set of active EMG 81/85 pickups. The EMG85 in the neck features Alnico magnets, providing a muscular growl and smooth lead tones enabling you to play everything from the blues to the most extreme metal. The EMG81 in the bridge position however features strong ceramic magnets and closely spaced coils, producing a sound with detailed intensity, lots of high-end cut and smooth sustain. Both pickups handle high gain with ease with minimal feedback. The classic wiring of master volume and tone controls means that this is a very easy guitar to dial in with perfect balance between each pickup.

Weight: 8.35lbs
Serial: 15 of 100
Aesthetic Condition:
Headstock:
Overall excellent condition. The two top points display light scuff marks, these do not break through the finish. Any other markings to the headstock are difficult to discern.
Neck:
Overall excellent condition. The rear of the neck demonstrates light scratching and a very small scratch at the centre of the neck level with the 5th fret dot marker. It is difficult to discern any markings to the fingerboard.
Body:
Overall excellent condition. Very light scratching is scattered inconsistently across all aspects of the body, and is visible only under direct light. This is very common for high gloss finishes and does not detract from the overall look of the guitar which remains excellent. There is a ‘v’ shaped scratch visible on the rear of the guitar on the lower bass side point.

The frets demonstrate very light signs of use, not affecting playability. There is moderate material remaining for any fret work the new owner may wish to perform.
