Protecting your Dean instrument
Due to the extreme shape of many Dean guitars they can be harder to protect, especially when travelling with your instrument.
Models that do not come included with a hard case are particularly hard to protect. It is recommended that you purchase a hard case or suitable gig bag for your instrument for maximum protection.
Dean guitars make cases designed specifically for their instruments. Dean guitar cases are likely to be the most protective option for your guitar however they can be more expensive.
There are other companies that make guitar cases specifically for extreme shaped guitars. Before purchasing a case ensure it is a suitable shape and size for your instrument.
