The Dean Soltero is a guitar manufactured by Dean Guitars and was first introduced in 2006.[1] It was designed by Dean Zelinsky, resembles the Gibson Les Paul,[2] and has the classic Dean V profile neck.[3] Soltero means "single" in Spanish and refers to the single cut style of the guitar. The first 100 guitars were hand-signed by Dean himself.[4] Available in four models: USA,[5] USA MHG, Japanese and Korean models.[6] Among the famous guitarists who play a Dean Soltero are Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains,[5] and Leslie West, who has his own signature model.[7]
