Kerry King and Dean have teamed up for the brand new Kerry King Overlord Signature Guitar and it’s… certainly a shape. It’s like Ibanez’s Xiphos got into a fight with B.C. Rich and all the edges for symmetrical and smoothed out. I’m not saying I hate it, I’m just not sure I get what this is going for.
“I’m super stoked to be part of the Dean Guitars family,” said King. “This has been an insane long time coming! Together we’re going to create some amazing guitars that Dean, Slayer, and Kerry King fans will be as excited as I am to play them. It’s gonna be a wild ride for years to come!”
The Dean USA Kerry King Overlord Signature Guitar offers a Mahogany body with a North American Maple top, an Ebony Fingerboard with a 24.75″ scale, C neck shape. 24 jumbo frets, and hand-crafted pearl custom inlays accompanied with ultra-vibrant LED fret markers.
The King comes loaded with a Sustainiac neck pickup and an EMG 81 with PA2 Preamp Booster pickup at the bridge, and a Kahler KFK Tremolo system. The guitar is available here for the very affordable price of $6,499.
