Product Description
The Dean ML 79 Floyd Flame Top Duncans in Trans Brazilia takes the iconic late 70s ML blueprint and supercharges it for modern rock and metal players. With a classic eastern mahogany body, striking flame maple top, genuine Seymour Duncan JB and 59 pickups and a Floyd Rose Special tremolo, this is a no-nonsense performance machine that looks as bold as it sounds.
Balancing vintage-inspired feel with contemporary playability, the ML 79 Floyd delivers singing sustain, tight low end and cutting lead tones, all wrapped up in Dean’s unmistakable offset silhouette. A comfortable V-profile neck, jumbo frets and rock-solid hardware make it a reliable workhorse for the stage or studio.
Classic ML Power with Modern Upgrades
At its core, this guitar captures the spirit of Dean’s original late 70s ML models, pairing an eastern mahogany body with a set mahogany neck for a thick, resonant voice. The addition of a Floyd Rose Special tremolo and premium Seymour Duncan pickups brings the design firmly into the modern era, giving you the tuning stability and tonal versatility demanded by today’s players.
Flame Maple Top in Trans Brazilia
The flat flame maple top does more than just look stunning under stage lights. It adds snap and definition to the warm mahogany base, tightening up the lows and enhancing note clarity for complex chords and fast runs. Finished in a vivid Trans Brazilia, the figuring of the maple shines through, making this ML as much a visual statement as a tonal one.
Seymour Duncan JB and 59 Pickups
A Seymour Duncan 59 in the neck and TB-4 JB in the bridge give you a proven, studio-ready pairing. The 59 offers smooth, open cleans and rich, vintage-flavoured lead tones, while the JB brings punchy mids, tight bass and singing sustain that excels for rock and metal riffing. With independent volume controls and a shared tone, you can fine-tune each pickup’s output to sit perfectly in the mix.
Floyd Rose Special Tremolo and V-Profile Neck
The Floyd Rose Special tremolo lets you divebomb, flutter and add subtle vibrato without sacrificing tuning stability, ideal for expressive lead work and aggressive rhythm playing. Combined with a comfortable V-profile medium neck, 12 inch radius Indian rosewood fretboard and 22 jumbo frets, the ML 79 Floyd feels fast and secure under the fingers, encouraging big bends, wide vibrato and confident technical playing.
Features
- Eastern Mahogany Body with Flame Maple Top - The eastern mahogany body delivers warmth, punch and sustain, while the flame maple top adds brightness and definition. This classic combination gives you a full, balanced tone that works for everything from bluesy crunch to high-gain metal.
- Seymour Duncan JB and 59 Pickups - The Seymour Duncan 59 neck pickup provides smooth, articulate cleans and creamy leads, while the TB-4 JB bridge pickup offers tight lows, strong mids and cutting highs. Together they cover a huge tonal range, so you can switch from vintage-inspired sounds to modern rock tones with ease.
- Floyd Rose Special Tremolo System - The Floyd Rose Special locking tremolo lets you use extreme pitch effects and heavy vibrato while helping to keep your tuning stable. Ideal for expressive lead players, it opens up a wide palette of techniques without compromising playability.
- Comfortable V-Profile Neck with Jumbo Frets - The V-shaped medium neck profile sits naturally in the hand, offering support for both rhythm and lead styles. Paired with a 12 inch radius fretboard and 22 jumbo frets, it makes bending easier, improves note control and encourages confident, fast playing across the entire neck.
