Dean: Spider

Another shredder joins the Dean camp, this time it's Chris Impellitteri. His signature instrument features a maple body & non-locking hardware. The pickup combo gets my thumbs up- a single coil + humbucker paring. I always hear more definition in neck single coils; it's the reason why I have coil splitting options for my dual humbucking guitars. This particular body outline reminds me of a certain Kramer model of the '80s... Hmmm... Like Vinnie Moore & Michael Angelo (among others), Mr. Impellitteri had Dean to conceive his pickups rather than having popular brand name models in there.
