this question is for michael or anyone who may know.....what guitar is that in the beginning of no boundaries that looks sort of like a custom 450? i know it isnt because i looked at the deant site and theres a couple of differences. oh and are all the dean guitars posted on the site?i know it sounds dumb but im lookin for a dean guitar and i dont know what to start with, i want an average shred guitar, a 24-fret, floyd rose guitar, any recommendations? thanx guys

All the guitars that Dean currently make should be on their site. I'm not sure if Dean Custom 450 is still available, wich I think was their only 24 fret/Floyd Rose guitar  Maybe You should wait and see what Mike signature guitar will be like  |

The guitar I used in the beginning of "Speed Lives" is indeed a "stock" Dean Custom 450. It has 24 frets and a Floyd Rose. They still manufacture this guitar. The guitar that I have has a really great "Tiger Eye" finish. I have since installed new DiMarzio pick ups in it but when I filmed the "Speed Lives" DVD, it was a factory shipped Dean Guitar. EMG pick ups are standard on the Custom 450. Hope this clears things up.  |

Hope this clears things up. all righty thanx. i just didnt think it was the same cuz the paint job was different and the one on the video didnt have the dot on the 21st fret i believe it was. but would u recommend it i know a place thats sellin it for 350 dollars. is that a good guitar for the price or what would u recommend? |

If you would want EMG 81's in the Custom 450 I would think you would have to cut a hole in the guitar to fit the batteries. But when I was looking for a new guitar the last time I bought one I really seriously considered the Custom 450 but eventually I went for the ESP LTD KH-602... the Kirk Hammett signature  But I think the time will come that I'll buy the Dean Custom 450 |

The Pups are the same size, but since the EMG81's are active they need a battery, and a couple of wires to Your backpocket would look silly ;D

i thought the emgs were the same size. They are most likely the same size but the hz is passive and therefore doesn't need batteries but the 81's are active and need batteries so you would have to make a place for them in your guitar |
