Arch Enemy

Dean Guitars, who make some of the most bad ass guitars on the planet, made this announcement on their Web site:

"Dean Guitars is proud to announce that guitarist extraodinaire Michael Amott of Arch Enemy and Carcass has signed on with Dean guitars. Dean CEO Elliott Rubinson states, 'I have been a fan of Michael for some time and we are extremely excited that he has decided to make Dean guitars his home. Michael Amott is a very well respected guitarist worldwide and we look forward to working very closely with him to design his dream guitar.

'I contacted Dean guitars,' said Arnott, 'as I was looking for the right guitar company and I knew that if people like Michael Schenker, Dave Mustaine, Dimebag and Leslie West have made Dean their home that I needed to check it out. They sent me two V's to check out and I immediately fell in love with them. I am sure my new signature guitar will meet all of my demands as well as the needs of my fans around the globe.'"

Arnott is a seriously incredible guitarist, and this is a big score for Dean. I look forward to an Arnott custom, as I'm sure the former Carcass man can come up with something epic.
