Dean Zelinsky Launches Dean Zelinsky Private Label Guitars

The brand is comprised of Zelinsky’s latest creations, which includes the Tagliare and Zenyatta models.


The StrettaVita

Chicago, IL (April 19, 2012) – Guitar designer Dean Zelinsky announces his new company Dean Zelinsky Private Label Guitars. The brand is comprised of Zelinsky’s latest creations, which includes the Tagliare and Zenyatta models. The StrettaVita, a reincarnation of a Zelinsky classic, will be offered for the first time ever as a hollow-body. These recent designs along with Zelinsky’s new cutting edge "Z-Glide" Reduced Friction Neck (patent pending) are the bedrock of his new company. The entire line will be available early fall of 2012.


"Z-Glide" Reduced Friction Neck

The Z-Glide guitar neck will be available as an option on all Tagliare models. The Tagliare – a three single coil, bolt neck guitar – is a departure for Zelinsky, but as he states, “a natural progression once I designed the Z-Glide.” The Z-Glide utilizes a laser-textured surface designed to let your hand glide effortlessly up and down the neck. The Z-Glide will also be available on select StrettaVita models featuring bolt neck construction on a single cutaway, dual humbucker guitar.


The Tagliare

“Design Your Own” – a feature of the Tagliare line – will be offered in addition to the stock models. Consumers will have the option to customize their guitar online and instantly see their creation by simply clicking their mouse. They can then purchase the Tagliare they designed direct on the Internet.


The Zenyatta

The Zenyatta features an oversized but ultra-thin body design – an award-winning Dean Zelinsky innovation. The single cutaway Zenyatta features deep carving and highly sculpted aesthetics that adds a full “bull nose” edge - something not yet seen on production guitars.

Dean Zelinsky Private Label Guitars will be offered worldwide through authorized dealers and on the Internet. Prices will range from $299 to $1299. Select USA made custom models are priced from $3599 and up.

on 07/09/2012 		I am a Dean guitar fan and have been for many years (since 2000), but the only designs that I liked were all done by someone other than Dean Z: the eVo, the Czech Cadillac (designed by Ben Chafin, as was the eVo), and the Deceiver (out after Dean 'left'.) I bought, and immediately resold, various Dean Z. 'designs', such as the ML, Z, V, and Hardtail (POS, all). Dean Z is a nothing, IMHO, but he does have a hot wife, LOL. (or did?)

on 07/07/2012 		For anyone"s (and Bluefades) information Dean (The Real Dean) Was around 10 to 12 years before Paul(RS) went to Carlos and got him to play his guitars. I endorsed PRS guitars from 1988 until he changed the heal on them and they were not as comfortable for me to play as the old design. He still makes Great Guitars and has a great company, But (again the real 'Dean') from a teenager - on - has been ahead of the pack in innovative design, and a master at his art. To accuse him of cashing on PRS is a bit of a reach. I am looking forward to this new line of guitars that Dean Z is coming out with - as I know that he is the one in control - and the guitars (not the bottom line) is what is important to him and he keeps improving his guitar line for the public. His Guitars are made to be played but they also are a fine (Affordable) work of art as well!

on 04/26/2012 		Sorry bluefade, having known Dean for a long time, he is dedicated to guitars, and most importantly guitar innovation, being innovative isn't easy but Dean finds the way. Having your own company is the best way of getting your visions into production, hence Dean is independent once again. Good luck Dean!

on 04/22/2012 		dean is trying to cash in on the PRS idea of private stock guitars!I wonder how long it will take,before he bails out on this NEW company? He's just another greedy oppertunist,disguised as a luthier, YUK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

on 04/22/2012 		Some of the Best Guitars I have had the privilege to play were from the mind of Dean Zelinsky! After 40 years of designing and building guitars, he is one of the few Luthiers who has remained true to his craft - and I am looking forward to playing his new Signature Guitars! I am sure that the same quality and craftsmanship that went into his previous models will carry over into his new line - and quite honestly, without him at the helm of the previous company (DBZ) - I am sure the quality will soon diminish (for higher profit margins) - as will innovative designs! Congrats to Dean Zelinsky and his new company!
