Dean Michael Schenker Standard Electric Guitar – Black and White

The Dean Michael Schenker Standard is an accessible signature model that captures the "attitude" and iconic aesthetic of one of rock’s most influential guitarists. Dressed in the legendary Black and White finish, this guitar features the classic Series II V-style headstock and a balanced Basswood body. Designed for high-output rock and metal, the Schenker Standard delivers professional looks and heavy tones without the premium price tag.

Engineered for High-Performance Leads

Equipped with dual DMT Design Humbuckers, the Schenker Standard is voiced to punch through dense mixes with clarity and sustain. The 24 3/4" scale length provides a slightly "slinkier" feel, making wide vibrato and aggressive bends effortless. This performance is supported by Grover Tuners and a Tune-O-Matic bridge, ensuring that your intonation and tuning stability remain rock-solid during intense stage use.

Fast-Action Neck & Fretboard

The bolt-on Maple neck features a comfortable "C" profile and a 12" radius Granadillo fretboard. Loaded with 22 Jumbo frets, this setup is optimized for modern speed and precision playing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this guitar balanced for playing while standing?
V-style guitars have a unique weight distribution. The Michael Schenker Standard is designed to be lightweight (Basswood body), which helps prevent "neck dive" when used with a high-quality guitar strap.

What kind of wood is Granadillo?
Granadillo is a dense, high-quality tonewood often compared to Rosewood. It provides a clear, articulate response and a smooth playing surface for the fretboard.

Can I use heavier strings on this model?
Yes. While it comes factory-equipped with D'Addario EXL120 (.009-.042) strings, the dual-action truss rod allows you to adjust the neck tension if you prefer to move to .010s or heavier for down-tuning.
