On the electronics side of things,,,
This Guitar is equipped with 2-Humbucker style / ?? I THINK ?? / DMT Design Pickups from DEAN as shown in the photo,,, The factory plastic film is still on the pickups and the electronics cavity cover on the back-side of the guitar !!! (see-the-photo's).  Showing that this is a BRAND-NEW Guitar,,, Never on Display inside my Retail Music Store,,, always inside this case,,, Never Sold,,, Never Rented,,, Never Played,,, Never Loaned out,,, always kept as a Collectable guitar !!!
This Guitar has 1- Volume, and 1- Tone knob alone with a 3-way pickup switch.
Construction is 4-bolt Neck,,, with DEAN signature LOGO on the Ebony Plate,,,
Body Wood is BASSWOOD, with a slight "Contoured Top",,,
Top Wood is also BASSWOOD,,, Contoured Shape,,,
Tuners are Die-Cast Sealed & Lubricated Ebony finish,
Fretboard wood is ROSEWOOD,,, with the 10-DOT Round Abalone dot design inlays,,,
Frets are 22,
Neck wood is Maple with alot of grain Lines showing,,, see-the-photo,,,
Dean shows the neck is called a 'C' style in the factory catalog,,,
Scale Length is 24 3/4''inch,,, (
24.75''
),,, See-The-Photo of the tape measure.
***Different brands of Guitars use different Scale Lengths as follows >>>
***The old 1960's Fender Mustang & Jaguar was 24'' scale,,, (shorter than this),
***A Paul Reed Smith Santana series is 24.5'',,,
***Most GIBSON's and EPIPHONE models are the same as this DEAN,,, 24.75'',,,
***Other Fenders; Ibanez; Jackson; Kramer; Schecter; Fender Squier; are 25.50''
*** So even though this is a smaller 3/4 and/or 7/8's body the actual scale Length  is a NORMAL LENGTH as compared to other above  Brands of Guitars.
per the factory catalog the top-nut string-guide is 1 5/8''inch,,, see photo,,,
Bridge is a Adjustable Tune-0-Matic  style with string balls hooking in the rear Back-Side,,, String-Thru-The-Body,,, see-the-photos.
Pickups are Humbucker styled Dean model DMT Design,
Body Color on this Guitar is the TITANIUM ICE (TI) Metallic design,,, ZOOM-in for a closeup look at the sparkle body finish
.
Sort-Of Light Purple -or- you might call it Lavender Purple ???
# ML-Baby =
"ML" style
- Baby,,, Some folks call this Both a 3/4 -or- 7/8 short body,,, Liteweight,,, This Guitar weighs just 6 pounds outside of it's case. IT's overall Length measurement is 41'' inches,,, and the 'Z' width is 15''inches..
The Serial Number on the headstock is O 08041291 made in China,,, From the forums I gather The #08 is the YEAR, #04 is the MONTH, and #1291 is this units production quantity number ???   ALL OF THIS CAN NOT BE PROVEN,,, ONLY FORUM TALK ???   I can find it Listed in a 2007-08 Dean online catalog ALL I know is, That it is a Very Rare Guitar to find BRAND-NEW from a Real Music Store Owner !!!   Especially in the Titanium ICE finish.
Either way it is a very Rare guitar to find BRAND-NEW !!!
The CASE included in this auction is a POLYFORM frame NYLON covered rectangle DEAN brand WINGS LOGO Semi-hardshell STIFF case,,, with 2-outside Top storage zippered compartments.   The case BY itself sells on ebay for $ 149.99 up to 163.38 (132.61 + shipping on just the case at 30.77) ,,,
I am selling BOTH the DEAN Classic Exployer Styled Body Baby ""ML"" guitar and its case AS-IS as a
'FINAL CLOSEOUT SALE'
per eBay's new 2020 policy,,, This Item is Listed as NO RETURNS, ("FINAL SALE").
I don't see any other of these specific guitars to compare spec's.
IF you have any information or comments then ""PLEASE"" message me thru this Listing,,, THANK-YOU !!!
SO,,, THE GOOD NEWS IS >>>  I am going to start the auction off at a great price of $ 470.00 for the DEAN  ''Z'' Guitar & case shown,,,
with an eBay buy-it-now- option,,,
and showing what the FEDEX shipping, handling, insurance, and signature delivery will cost at $ 58.00 for the Lower continental 48 states,,, Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico are Much Higher Shipping thru FEDEX because of surcharges having NO direct highway ground transportation,,, (or at least that what I was told on my Last guitar to Hawaii,,, what a huge surprise at the terminal).
Now Let me Clarify a few things,,,
EBAY requires me to List this Guitar and CASE as either,,
''NEW'' --- "OPEN BOX" --- or "USED",,,
So I have Listed it here as NEW,,, OPEN-BOX,,, NOS (new old stock).
IT is ''NOT'' used,,,
IT is a grade "A" stock,,, (not 'b' stock) ???
IT is BRAND-NEW,,, never sold,,, never rented,,, never Loaned out as a Demo.
IT is an OPEN-BOX, because it does NOT come sealed in a plastic wrapper bag,,,   AND it was inside its factory display box before I opened it and put it inside this Dean Logo Case,  OPEN-BOX out of it's case in MY Retail Music Store until today.
IT comes inside this case from the Dean USA factory distributor.
IT is (NOS),  new-old-stock because of it's YEAR MODEL of it's serial Number,,,
# O 08041291,,, 'OH'- 'zero' -8041291,,, with the CE inspection sticker,,,
AND since it has a 9-digit serial number very similar to BCRich codes,,, I AM ASSUMING,,, because I can't find any research on it ???
''O'' on this Dean Guitar I am NOT sure its designation meaning ???
''08'' is for the year it was built in China, (Like BC Rich China models),,,
''04'' is for the month ???,,, Only guessing ???  I can't find proof ???
''1291" is for the production number of this unit,,, IT was #1291 built that year.
ALL of which the above information is merely speculation / and Guessing.
Either way " IF " you are a Dean Fan,,,  then you know the value of finding an un-used,,, Brand-New,,, ( NOS ) Collectible  Dean Guitar,,, " ML " in this Titanium ICE finish metallic Sparkle pattern would be !!!

We "MIGHT"  also be showing you what the USPS
1st Class
USA mailing & HANDLING with the USPS tracking number,,, on our
PACKAGE
will cost and the
AIR BUBBLE-LINED ENVELOPE
, we are using as our
mailing packaging
.
DIFFERENT FROM OUR OTHER BOXES FOR HEAVIER ITEMS OF PRIORITY OR FEDEX SHIPMENTS.
WE also reserve the right to exchange "MAILING" boxes based on your regional ZIP-CODE postal service address,,, this will NOT effect the end postage prices, or weight of shipping costs,,, IT merely changes the actual SIZE of the box I choose IF a different BOX is needed for better security during transit .
Because we know that you know there is NO SUCH THING AS FREE SHIPPING,,, we show you the actual cost,,, what you are paying for and how we arrived at it by the NEW 2020 USPS postage rates and/or FEDEX's rates for ground home delivery and their package surcharges
.
Including the postage fee / or shipping fee  inside the price of the items and NOT telling you how it will be BOXED and shipped DOESN'T MAKE IT FREE or "
SAFE "
against DAMAGES ???
I have received many items I purchased on EBAY that were damaged during shipping / transit  because of POOR PACKAGING and FREE SHIPPING.
I '' DO NOT '' ship anything that is " NOT " over-packed and well stuff for its protection during transit.   I am OCD when it comes to packaging up your items !!!     L@@K at some of my feedback where folks state how well MY PACKAGES are packed !!!
Someone has to pay the POSTAGE fee,,, the government does not actual ship these things for Free  and for the packaging products we use,,, these items or things are NOT actually supplied for free to us,,, LOL,,, just some of the boxes.
*** AND with us you know exactly what you are getting for your prices paid,,, and NOT having to assume what you are getting for FREE.
MOST of the time I actually show you a photograph of the envelope or box I am using for mailing or shipping.
I have been told others are NOT as good as we do ???
SOME PACKAGES ARE LOST AND/OR DAMAGED DUE TO POOR PACKING,,, Regular type cheap envelopes with just a stamp and NO TRACKING NUMBERS,,, AND/OR  " NOT " INSURED IF THE ITEMS VALUE IS LOW,,,
Look at our feedback and see I have been an E-bay member since 2001.
SEE WHAT OTHER EBAY BUYERS ARE SAYING IN MY FEEDBACK REVIEW ABOUT MY PACKAGING,, HANDLING AND SHIPPING OF THEIR ITEMS.
WE explain and show you what you are getting and how much it costs !!!
UPS was "NOT" an option,,, much higher shipping costs.
***ALSO NO DELIVERY AVAILABLE TO GUAM and/or the VIRGIN ISLANDS at this time.
I
am an OLD MAN with the tremors & shakes and thick tri-focals I reserve the right to make errors,,, TYPO's "BUT" PLEASE before hanging me out to dry,,,  PLEASE - PLEASE - PLEASE email or message me thru this Listing  about your questions or concerns before buying or bidding.  BECAUSE once you have made a commitment to purchase eBay themselves will "NOT" let the advertisement be changed,,, altered or amended.  IT IS THEN A DONE DEAL !!!
Thank-you for LOOKING at all of our CLOSEOUT MUSICAL MERCHANDISE IN OTHER E-BAY ADVERTISEMENTS.
*** INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING MIGHT BE  AVAILABLE THRU THE E-BAY GLOBAL SHIPPING CENTER AND THEY WILL QUOTE YOU ON WHAT THE ACTUAL MAILING OUTSIDE OF THE USA AND CUSTOM FEES WILL COST YOU TO YOUR SPECIFIC COUNTRY.   GUITARS have to pass the CITIES endangered species of wood LAW,,, therefore some guitars might "NOT" be able to ship OUTSIDE of the USA brand-new ???
*****I also hereby state to you that I can  ''NOT'' and will  "NOT" be held responsible  for  either  E-BAY Global shipping center,,, their shipping handlers and/or the customs folks deciding to open and re-package or re-box this item unit for either inspection purposes or their desire to attempt to re-package or re-box it in a smaller package box for their shipping benefits.  IF THEY DO THIS,,, THAT IS ''NOT'' MY PROBLEM,,,   AS STATED IN E-BAY's GLOBAL SHIPPING TERMS FOR SELLERS,,,  MY  ACTUAL RESPONSIBLITY ENDS WITH THIS PACKAGE,,,  ONCE THIS PACKAGE HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO AND ACCEPTED BY THE E-BAY GLOBAL SHIPPING CENTER IN KENTUCKY USA.
THANK-YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING !!!
