SLAYER‘s founding axeman Kerry King is one of the most instantly recognizable and well-respected musicians in thrash/punk/metal, and over the past near 40-years, has pioneered some of the most brutal and revolutionary music ever created.
King wrote or co-wrote some of SLAYER‘s most beloved songs including “Mandatory Suicide,” “Hell Awaits,” “Disciple,” and “Raining Blood.” Known for his allegiance to the Oakland Raiders, his love of snakes, and his taste for Jagermeister, King is outspoken, opinionated and authentic to the core.
“I’m super stoked to be part of the Dean Guitars family,” King comments. This has been an insane long time coming! Together we’re going to create some amazing guitars that Dean, SLAYER, and Kerry King fans will be as excited as I am to play them. It’s gonna be a wild ride for years to come!”
Now, Dean Guitars have released a limited run of 50 handcrafted USA guitars designed in collaboration with SLAYER guitarist Kerry King.
Each USA Kerry King V Limited Edition 50 Pc guitar is priced at $8,666 and can be ordered from the Dean Guitars web site.
SLAYER‘s final tour ever has kicked off this past weekend in North Carolina, and it will wrap up with two shows in the band’s home town of Los Angeles. Tickets for remaining dates are available here.
