Dean Cadillac 1980 Gloss Mahogany

The Dean Cadillac 1980 Natural Mahogany revives one of Dean’s most iconic designs with classic craftsmanship and timeless tone. Built from premium Eastern Mahogany and finished in a rich Natural Gloss, this elegant single-cut offers the warmth, sustain, and unmistakable character that defined an era of rock and blues.

The all-mahogany construction — body, top, and neck — delivers thick, resonant tone with exceptional midrange punch. The set-neck design and 24 3/4" scale length enhance sustain and playability, while the Indian rosewood fretboard adds smoothness and articulation across the 22 jumbo frets. With its comfortable V-shaped neck, this guitar feels fast yet substantial in the hand — perfect for both rhythm and lead players.

Under the hood, the Cadillac 1980 features a pair of DMT Series Time Capsule humbuckers, capturing the classic Dean growl with articulate highs and vintage output. Paired with independent Volume and Tone controls for each pickup, the tonal possibilities range from singing lead tones to warm, full-bodied cleans. Topped off with Grover 18:1 tuners, a Tune-O-Matic bridge with Cadi tailpiece, and Speed Gold knobs, the Cadillac 1980 blends vintage looks with rock-solid performance — a true modern classic that pays homage to Dean’s legendary heritage.
