A meticulous recreation of a 1970s icon with vintage tone and vibe.
The Dean USA Patents Pending ML Flame Top electric guitar pays homage to a beloved vintage model from Dean's storied history. Meticulously recreated down to the tiniest detail, this guitar captures the spirit of a true classic while incorporating modern features for enhanced playability. Whether you're a die-hard Dean enthusiast or just appreciate finely crafted instruments, the Patents Pending ML Flame Top belongs in your collection.
Striking Vintage-Inspired Looks
From the first glimpse, the Patents Pending ML immediately evokes the vibe of a treasured 1970s guitar. The flame maple top with a sunburst finish glows with a classic nitrocellulose lacquer sheen. The oversized headstock bears the iconic "Patents Pending" stamp—a nod to the original design's revolutionary status. Cream body binding and abalone dot inlays lend an elegant, vintage-correct appearance.
Built for Effortless Playability
While the Patents Pending ML stays true to its roots visually, it benefits from several player-friendly upgrades. The slim C-shaped neck profile feels supremely comfortable in the hand, perfect for stretching out with wide bends and vibrato. The 12" radius ebony fingerboard allows effortless string-bending and chording. Red side dots provide a subtle modern accent. The bone nut and Grover tuners ensure tuning stays rock-solid.
Roaring Tone From DiMarzio Humbuckers
Under the hood, you'll find a pair of DiMarzio Super Distortion humbuckers that pack a ferocious punch. These high-output pickups deliver everything from warm, rounded rhythms to searing lead tones with seemingly endless sustain. The classic dual-volume/tone control layout gives you the freedom to sculpt your ideal sound. Fire up your favorite high-gain amp and the Patents Pending ML absolutely howls.
Vintage Resonance Meets Modern Reliability
Enhancing the Patents Pending ML's vintage character, the mahogany body and set neck construction generate rich, resonant tone that blooms and sustains beautifully. The chrome hardware includes a tune-o-matic bridge with V-shaped tailpiece—instantly recognizable to any guitarist. Yet this Dean benefits from modern manufacturing techniques for improved consistency. The 22 jumbo frets and dual-action truss rod allow effortless setup and playability.
