The gorgeous transparent black-finished flamed maple top of the Black Gold V is a real visual treat for sure, and it combines with a tone built for rock to make for a serious axe. The V-shaped body is mahogany, with a mahogany neck that?s set in for better sound and sustain. The rosewood fingerboard has a set of block inlays, and the headstock, in Dean?s classic V shape, matches the body. A set of covered humbuckers crank out the juice, while the TOM-style adjustable bridge and string-thru body improve intonation and clarity. The gold toned hardware includes Grover tuners and a V-shape tailpiece.
