The Dean Exotica features a stunning spruce top, offering crisp articulation and a broad dynamic range. Spruce is the most commonly used wood for guitar tops as it generates a versatile sound and accommodates numerous playing styles, from aggressive to fingerpicking. The wood itself is quite elastic in nature, which resonates well whilst remaining strong, and provides a focused, clear sound of deep lows, warm midi-range, and bright sparkling highs. The spruce top is coupled with mahogany back and sides which adds a characterised warmth to its brightly toned spruce top. Used as back and side panels the mahogany delivers a meaty mid-range, producing punchy, woody tones with plenty of depth and complexity that will please most playing styles.
The Exotica's neck is constructed from mahogany, offering great durability and resonance. The reason why many guitar necks are built from mahogany is because the wood responds greatly to different styles of play, from fingerpicking styles to different strumming patterns with equal ease. The neck is topped with a rosewood fingerboard that delivers a bright, warm, sparkly tone that really shines through when using fingerpicking techniques. The rosewood fingerboard also provides a smooth and energetic playing experience and is sprinkled with pearl Exotica fingerboard markers for added elegance.
The Dean Exotica features a versatile and comfortable body shape; the grand auditorium. The shape is equally as suited to fingerpicking styles as it is to strumming. The grand auditorium is an all-purpose body shape that provides an incredibly comfortable playing experience and projects a voice that can accommodate numerous genres and playing techniques.
The Venetian Cutaway is renowned for its soft, round lines, creating a visually stunning look that is recognisable on any body. This type of cutaway allows easier access to the upper frets for a comfortable play, and enables you with more freedom throughout the fingerboard.
The Exotica features Dean's DMT G03 preamp that has the added convenience of a built-in tuner, making it ideal for the gigging musician. The DMT G03 preamp features basic rotary controls for sound tweaking and tone shaping. These rotary controls include volume, bass, middle, treble, and a phase button. The DMT G03 also has an easy-to-read LED screen for tuning in the darkest of venues and environments.
