About This Guitar

Serial: US260080

Built by the Dean USA Custom Shop, this Time Capsule ML celebrates the USA’s 250th anniversary with a collection of custom details created specifically around the occasion.

The Metallic Red sparkle finish is carried through the guitar with matching red DMT Time Capsule humbuckers and matching control knobs. Mother-of-pearl star inlays run down the ebony fingerboard, with a special USA inlay at the 12th fret, while the signature V plate is etched with 1776 and 2026.

Underneath the commemorative appointments is the proven USA Time Capsule ML platform. A solid mahogany body is paired with a three-piece mahogany neck carved to Dean’s V profile, an ebony fingerboard, and a 24 5/8" scale length.

A pair of USA-made DMT Time Capsule humbuckers handles the electronics with individual pickup volume controls, a master tone, and three-way toggle. A Tune-O-Matic bridge, Grover 18:1 tuners, and chrome hardware complete the build.

A deluxe hardshell case is included.
