Description

Edit description

The Paul Dean Pro was a prototype guitar of a potential future series with Odyssey Guitars in 2021 when Paul and Odyssey worked together once again. The guitar was never released and only one actual "Paul Dean Pro" is known to actually exist - the one Paul Dean owns/owned. The guitar was used exclusively on the 2022 Unzoomed Tour with REO Speedwagon and STYX, and was retired quickly at the end of 2022 when Paul started using a custom Godin model instead.

The remaining prototypes and custom builds from this project were sold and marketed under a different name.

In 2021, Paul Dean and Sean Mara of the newly revived Odyssey guitars of Vancouver B.C. briefly got together and basically built ONE instrument relevant to the artist, a remake of his 1983 "Dean Machine" model, but with some modernized updates.

The "Paul Dean Pro" was a non-production, unique guitar that was used by Paul Dean live on Loverboy's 2022 Unzoomed Tour. It featured a chambered neck with 2 resonance slots parallel to the truss-rod ala. the 1982-1983 originals, 10 degree headstock tilt, but had Tone Rider Generator pickups (made in Canada), Floyd Rose original locking tremolo with locking nut, an opaque Loverboy red finish, and black pickguard with chrome hardware. It's unknown if he still has or uses this guitar or not, probably so. It was used EXCLUSIVELY on the Unzoomed Tour with REO Speedwagon and STYX, and then It was quickly retired in late 2022 and replaced with the Godin custom guitar he's using now.

The original idea was - per Sean's posts on Facebook and Instagram - to work with Paul to make an inexpensive model fan's could afford that would be a reliable road guitar. Unfortunately things did not work out, and they had to rebrand the remaining stock including a custom run of NINE custom guitars and disassociate the model from Paul as he's looking to get his guitars made by a bigger manufacturer.

The remaining builds have been sold and came in 2 variants...

There's the Sweetheart Black Bar S series which were Canadian built guitars using Chinese parts (bodies...maybe necks). And were sold via Reverb in 2022, and 2023.

Then there's the Sweetheart Customs a series of nine guitars featuring custom finishes and non-Paul Dean-esque accoutrements based on this platform. They are supposed to go up for sale but it looks like that has not happened yet.
