Dean Guitars introduces the Dean HardTail... the first guitar designed by Dean Zelinsky since his return last year. This guitar was 3 years in the making utilizing Dean's 20 plus years in the industry and all of the progress that had been made by others during his 12 year hiatus. After working with Ben Chafin, Dean's custom shop luthier, on the details and prototypes the new guitar design was ready to debut at the Summer 2001 NAMM show.

Only hand selected pieces of mahogany, with the highest quality of figured maple are chosen for the tops of the Dean HardTail. Only 100 USA made Dean HardTails will initially be offered, each hand signed and numbered by Dean Zelinsky. Platinum recording artist, Chris Henderson of 3 Doors Down will be the first artist to receive the HardTail. He will receive the first two production models, both with custom finishes and custom 3 Doors Down fingerboard inlays.Visit your local Dean dealer today to reserve yours.
