Overview

An affordable 8-string with remarkable build quality, great pickups and a comfortable feel.

The Dean Custom 850X features tight low end, bright attack and crisp, clean definition throughout its vast tonal register thanks to a pair of DMT Design humbuckers. The basswood body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard combine for a powerful tone with great clarity, which is essential for an 8-string. Case sold separately.
