I had never seen this sort of thing, so I asked US Masters(the actual builders of Dean USA guitars for the last 10 years) to make me a Flame Maple top Hornet(their SG body set neck).....
This guitar is incredible. Balanced, the factory custom spec Kent Armstrong pickups sound great, TonePros hardware, 5A maple over mahogany(the color is actually more tobaccoburst than cherry burst, the evening sun warmed it up a bit)..... Just plain killer.
I have a scarier one on the way(think 61 SG/Les Paul Custom....), and one of them will be mine.
Fantastic guitars, great folks at the company that are willing to do unique guitars on a one at a time basis, and this guitar took 4 weeks to get. 4 WEEKS!!!!!!
