Sculpted for perfection
The Dean Exhibition Koa features a solid koa top, which not only provides an exceptionally striking visual but also delivers a bright and punchy tonality. It also offers a sweet, warmer, and full toned voice as the koa matures. Its top is contrasted beautifully by its mahogany back and sides, as it produces a more focused, woody, punchy mid-range, thick well-defined tone with plenty of depth and complexity that will please most playing styles. Mahogany also contains distinct character of soft warmth but is well balanced with a bite of its own. The wood is used a lot in the acoustic world, because it is relatively economical, durable, attractive, easy to work with, and resonant.
Maximum comfort
Its mahogany neck has been topped with an ebony fingerboard, which provides a bright, snappy, crisp attack, coupled with a smooth sustain and bright top-end. Dean are providing comfort and durability through their D shaped set neck, which ensures a smooth and comfortable playing experience as well as strength and durability.
The neck has been crafted from mahogany, as the wood responds greatly to picking, strumming, and various finger techniques with equal ease. Its slim profile is ideal for the electric guitarist that craves an acoustic sound but the feel and playability of an electric guitar. For added elegance, the Dean Exhibition is finished in natural gloss and sprinkled with pearl ultra-diamond shaped fingerboard makers.
