DEAN - Singlecut - - Electric guitar - South Korea - 2010 (No reserve price)

I am pleased to offer my beautiful and rare Dean Leslie West Standard “Mississippi Queen” electric guitar. This striking single-cutaway model was designed in close collaboration with legendary rock guitarist Leslie West (of the band Mountain) and features iconic, exclusive artwork inspired by his world-famous hit “Mississippi Queen.”
The guitar is in near-mint condition. There is one cosmetic detail: a small repair was made some time ago to one of the very tips of the headstock. It was carried out very professionally and is now virtually invisible (see photos). The body and finish are otherwise completely free of scratches and dents. The guitar plays beautifully, has superb action, and delivers the unmatched rock sustain Leslie West was known for.

Specifications:

• Body: Solid mahogany for deep, warm resonance
• Neck: Set mahogany neck with a comfortable, distinctive V profile
• Fingerboard: Rosewood with 22 frets
• Inlays: Unique mother-of-pearl Leslie West Soltero inlays
• Scale length: 24-3/4"
• Pickup: 1 powerful DMT Design humbucker in the bridge position — minimalist, pure rock ’n’ roll power, just the way Leslie wanted it!
• Hardware: Satin nickel, high-quality Grover tuners, and a stable Tune-O-Matic bridge (stop bar)
• Controls: 1x Volume, 1x Tone with classic Speed knobs

Edition & Rarity:

This is a limited edition (Limited Run) produced in the 2010s. Although Dean has not released an exact worldwide production figure for the import models in this particular series (unlike the hand-built USA models, which were limited to just 10 to 50 units), this “Mississippi Queen” graphic has been discontinued for many years and has become a sought-after collector’s item that rarely comes up on the market.
