The Grand™ is the result of a patented coil configuration. The goal, when designing the Grand™, was to keep that same great sound of the Dean Markley ProMag Plus™, while doing it with a silent Humbucking coil. Grand™'s patented coil is what allowed us to reach our goal. Grand™ has the same rich sound as the Dean Markley ProMag Plus™ while having up to 15 times less hum than any of the competition. With a real maple wood housing and an ebony grand piano finish with the Dean Markley signature emblazoned in Grand, Grand™ sounds, looks, and is an acoustical pickup you must have.
