DMT USA TIME CAPSULE pickups
The Dean Z79Floyd is equipped with pair of DMT (Dean Magnetic Technologies) Series Time Capsule humbucking Zebra Pickups. TIME CAPSULE pickups are also used in Dean’s original TC series guitars. These USA built pickups capture the biting tones of the vintage Dean instruments produced from 1977 to 1986 with very strident lows and punchy mids. They are versatile, high output pickups – crank them up for soaring solo tones, wind the volume back for classic crunch and blues or turn the volume controls up to 10 and wind the master tone control right back to zero for singing 60’s Clapton “woman” tones. Simply inspirational.

PRO-SCM PROFESSIONAL Setup
Dean have been building world-class guitars since 1977 and this is no exception.
The tonewoods used in the construction of this instrument are first class however, wood comes from trees and with the changes in weather conditions, humidity etc, these timbers often try to be trees again.
Necks can move, fretboards can shrink ever-so-slightly exposing sharp fret ends, etc, etc.
It is also impossible at the factory level to second guess the exact requirements of how a player likes their instrument to be setup, so they are setup within a defined tolerance as a sort of “one size fits all”.
