Dean Guitars Kerry King Overlord Battalion Grey

Dean Guitars is honoured to present the Kerry King Overlord Signature Guitar. Kerry King, Slayer’s founding guitarist, is one of the most instantly recognizable and revered musicians in the industry. Over the past 40-years his brutal dominating riffs wrote the history of Heavy Metal, making Kerry one of the most respected guitarists on the planet.

The Dean USA Kerry King Overlord Signature Guitar is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, completely handmade in the Dean USA Custom Shop in Tampa, FL. Our second unique, all-new Dean design comes with a remarkable level of precision and focus. The Dean USA Custom Shop team paired a mahogany body with a North American maple top, painted in a stunning dark grey high gloss finish. A 3-piece maple neck with a Kerry King Spec. 24.75 scale length, and a C neck shape. 24 jumbo fret, Ebony Fingerboard with detailed hand-crafted pearl custom inlays accompanied with ultra-vibrant LED fret markers along the side. The electronics feature the amazing Sustainiac neck pickup and an EMG 81 with PA2 Preamp Booster pickup at the bridge. Completing this iconic guitar is Kerry’s own signature Kahler KFK Tremolo system.
