Sick News !!! Dean
Cascione is now officially part of the
Graph-Tech Guitar Labs Artist Team! Dean has been a long time
user of the
Graph Tech Black Tusq XL Trem Nut and the
Ghost Preamps System
and swears by their quality & performance!
"Where most plastic and brass nuts I've used bind and
kink,
Graph Tech's Black TUSQ XL nuts
are the quietest I've used and feel
tension free - The Black TUSQ XL nuts actually enhance my vibrato."
"I’ve been using the
Entire Ghost Preamp system and Graphite Piezo Saddles
on my Nylon String Double-Neck Strat for a few years now. The installation was
simple and straightforward. Graph Tech really took all the guesswork out of it!
The overall tone of the instrument is AMAZING , Its hard to believe it’s a solid
body guitar! The GHOST system has performed flawlessly at all my gigs and in the
studio." - Dean Cascione
The
Graphtech Artist Roster
also includes legendary King
of Surf Guitar, Dick
Dale and Award Winning Blues Guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd!

CD Notes:
Horns up Shred Heads! Dean Cascione Is an American
Neoclassical Shred Guitarist who lives in Massachusetts and
studies under the Mighty Shred Lord Joe Stump. In his Debut
release "Guitar Chop Shop" Dean digs deep into the
neo-scallops and mixes melodic hooks with killer fret board
assault that even the most demanding shred guitar
enthusiasts will enjoy. From fierce pedal tones to
multi-note sweep arpeggios, Guitar Chop Shop is packed with
plenty of new shred that’s not overcooked. Dean also teamed
up with famed Shrapnel Records Super Shredder George Bellas,
in which George mastered all the tracks!
"Dean’s quite
a talented individual & quite an accomplished player and
composer as well. He’s got command over the instrument and
mixes his killing technique with a great musical sense and
wonderfully crafted guitar tones!!" - Joe Stump 2006
"Your music
is very enjoyable to listen to. The song "Sun Razor" really
spoke to my soul...." - George Bellas 2007
