OHSC
This 1978 Dean Z is typical of early Deans. It has a solid mahogany body with bound, highly flamed maple cap. These were flat, not carved. The mahogany neck was glued-in with a unique, large winged V headstock. Fingerboards were bound ebony with abalone dots. As with other early Deans, this Z sports a pair of early DiMarzio Super Distortion humbuckers, one of the earliest uses of DiMarzios on production guitars. Electronics (and hardware) were modeled on the Gibson Les Paul, with a three-way and two volumes and two tones. The strings load through the body to increase the sustain.
