Dean Guitars Unveils Exile Select Floyd Natural Black Burst

Dean Guitars® newest addition to the Exile Select Series, the Exile Select Floyd Fluence Natural Black Burst, builds upon the already impressive Exile lineup by adding a powerful array of new features. Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Pickups boast multi-voice functionality and hours of rechargeable battery power allowing for days – not hours – of playing time. Additionally, a handsome new Burled Maple Gloss finish on the guitar’s Alder body takes the Exile’s aesthetic presentation to the next level.

Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic Pickups in both the Neck and Bridge positions mean that this Exile model enjoys all the innovative versatility of Fishman’s acclaimed humbuckers, but with the popular uncovered look of classic HB units. At the neck position, players can take advantage of three distinct voicings: Voice 1 (Vintage P.A.F.); Voice 2 (Clear, Airy Chime); and Voice 3 (Clear Single Coil). Bridge voicings include Voice 1 (Vintage P.A.F.); Voice 2 (Classic Hot Rod); and Voice 3 (Slightly Overwound Single Coil). Unlike traditional wound humbuckers, which when split to create a single coil sound can result in a thin, weak signal, Fluence Classic Humbucker pickups’ Voice 3 is a convincing and versatile single coil tone that allows players to take advantage of a full sonic palette. From bright, crisp guitar twang to thick, warm crunch, the Dean Exile Select Floyd Natural Black Burst can deliver.

A Floyd Rose 1000 tremolo system and slippery, high access Slim D neck (25.5” scale length) facilitate the fastest runs and deepest dive-bombs, while large glow-in-the-dark side dots and the stunning Natural Black Burst finish with 5-ply binding create a distinctive, high-end look. A Dual Action truss rod allows for precise calibration of neck bow, while Grover® 18:1 tuners and D’Addario EXL120 strings safeguard tuning stability.

Built for speed and now featuring adaptable Fishman pickup technology in a timeless casing along with a striking new finish, the Dean Exile Select Floyd Natural Black Burst is a feature-rich six-string that will excel in any setting – all at an industry-leading price point.
