DOYLE Talks New Dean Annihilator Signature Guitar

In the clip below, Guitar World tech editor, Paul Riario, talks with the legendary Misfits guitarist Doyle about his new Dean Annihilator signature guitar, the axe's eye-catching aesthetics, the origins behind its design, and its personal features.
Citing his passion for DC Comics’ Batman as the main inspiration for the body’s wacky design – as well as his veganism for the stone bat inlays – Doyle explains the guitar’s second most notable feature: the side inlays. As opposed to having regular white or Luminlay dot inlays, the horror metal maestro opted for something a bit more visual: literal fingerboard markers that highlight the actual notes of the frets.
“It’s fucking genius,” Doyle said of the appointment. “You don’t have to think. When you’re playing a show and it’s just a little white dot there that says nothing on it? It’s genius.”
Doyle is set to hit the road next month with his eponymous band. Head over to Doyle’s official website for a full list of tour dates here.
