[edit] Twenty Fifth Anniversary Model

The twenty-fifth Anniversary model of the Dean Cadillac was unveiled at this winter's NAMM show and will be available in a limited quantity. The new limited edition will personify all the Cadillac 'style and player-appeal' that the world's best guitar players came to know and fall in love with. Plus, it will be the same version that was actually never put into production for the general playing public but reserved for Dean's top Artists. Additional luxuries include the highest quality figured flame-maple tops, real abalone fingerboard inlays, 24 karat gold hardware, 7 ply body binding, 5 ply head binding and a special 25th Anniversary emblem on the headstock. Lastly, the man who created the Cadillac guitar-Dean B. Zelinsky, will personally sign and number each guitar sold from this rare edition.
