Prior to Odyssey and Hondo, Paul built his OWN guitars. One of the first builds he started to use with Loverboy was a custom P-90 equipped guitar like that seen here, which looks almost identical to the Odyssey Paul Dean and Hondo Paul Dean II models, but features a pair of P-90 pickups and a regular pickguard instead of the haircell anti-scratch stuff.

Paul used this guitar through the 1981 "Get Lucky" tour and on the Get Lucky album. This is one of the first 3-4 prototypes for Paul's Odyssey/Hondo guitars. There were at least 2-3 others which inlucded a Sunburst Odyssey prototype with no pickguard, a 2 Humbucker "Dean Machines" with a MusicMan Stingray Bass pickguard style design, and a 3 single coil version that appears in the "Hot Girls in Love" video.

It makes it's primer in the "When It's Over" Music video, but also appeared in concerts from 1981-1983. This guitar MAY have been modified to a twin humbucker setup for the Get Lucky tour.

(NOTE TO MANAGEMENT: This is not a "partscaster", it's a guitar Paul Dean built himself from scratch)
