About Dean Guitars
Dean Guitars is an iconic American brand celebrated for its aggressive styling, powerful tone, and deep roots in rock and metal. Founded in 1977 by luthier Dean Zelinsky in Chicago, Dean quickly made waves with bold body shapes and performance-driven designs that stood out both visually and sonically.
Dean’s legacy continues through its popular artist collaborations and signature instruments. At SWAMP, we stock standout models that reflect Dean’s hard-hitting heritage and modern evolution, including:
- The Razorback Dimebag Floyd — a tribute to metal legend Dimebag Darrell, combining high-output tone with sharp aesthetics
- The Michael Amott Tyrant X — featuring a V-shaped body and splatter graphic, ideal for melodic death metal players
- The ZX Quilted Maple — a bold, offset Explorer-style guitar with a stunning Trans Brazillia finish
- The Z Metalman 4-String Bass — designed for low-end punch and rock-ready looks
Dean Guitars is perfect for musicians who want their instrument to make a statement — visually and sonically. With its mix of signature electric guitars and aggressive styling, Dean is a go-to choice for rock and metal players looking to push the limits of performance and design.
