Dean's Cadillac: a flat-top double-cut solidbody, priced here in the 1980 version.
Watch
Why it matters
The Cadillac 1980 sits in the middle of Dean's electric range, above the entry models and well below the Select versions with figured tops. It uses the outline the company has kept for the shape rather than the more angular designs in the line. Dean prices these aggressively, so the Cadillac competes with imports whose list prices sit higher.
Note
Vintage-flavored double-cut platform.
Specifications
- Scale length: 629 mm (24.764 in)

Before you buy
- Check the finish version: the same shape is sold at several prices
- Flat-top models feel different from carved-top guitars
- Compare the 1980 against the Select versions before choosing
