Step into the spotlight with the Dean '79 Z Floyd Flame Top — a bold throwback to the iconic guitars that defined an era. Built with a solid mahogany body and set mahogany neck, this Z-shaped beast delivers powerful sustain and warmth, true to its legendary 1977 origins. The flame maple top adds a stunning visual flair, while the DMT Time Capsule pickups bring vintage tone with modern punch.

Equipped with a Floyd Rose tremolo and classic 3-way switching, it’s designed to handle everything from soaring solos to heavy riffing. Finished in Trans Cherry with body and fingerboard binding, the '79 Z Floyd doesn’t just look the part — it plays it, loud and proud.
