DISC Dean Eric Peterson Soul Z, Classic Black

Full Description

Mahogany Body & Neck

Constructed from a Mahogany body with set-in Mahogany neck the Eric Soul Z has a medium weight and produces a warm and balanced tone with plenty of bite and grit thanks to the dense nature of the wood. Additionally the V shaped Mahogany neck provides a smooth playability with plenty of definition in the lower mid-range.

EMG 81 & 85 Pickups

Featuring high output active EMG 81 and 85 humbucking pickups the Eric Peterson Soul Z delivers a sharp attack and a beefy rhythm tones when in the 81 bridge position and a warm and dynamic tonality when in the 85 neck position. EMG pickups are a first choice for many professional musicians such as James Hetfield (Metallica), Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne/Black Label Society) and Matt Tuck (Bullet For My Valentine) as they provide incredible tone, reliable active circuitry and low noise.

String Thru Body

The Soul Z incorporates a string-thru body construction to provide improved tonality and sustain by transferring vibrations and resonance from the string to the body as it goes over the tune-o-matic bridge and passes through the body.
