In 1979 Guitar Player Magazine wrote me up as the Youngest Guitar Manufacturer in America. 40 years later, I’m still going strong. With Dean Zelinsky Guitar’s innovative and unique patented Z-Glide Necks, SideKick Pickups, and one-of-a-kind engraved finishes, we’re proud to offer guitars that no other company can build.

With our factory direct approach, fully customizable guitars, professional setups on all orders, and 30-Day Money Back Guarantee warranty, we can assure you'll find everything you've ever wanted in one of Dean Zelinsky Private Label guitars.

Humbucker? Singlecoil? Why not both? SideKick pickups tap to internally housed true singlecoils, with perfectly matched volume...not half a humbucker like other brands' pickups do.

Listen to Phillip McKnight's rave review of our StrettaVita model. He gets down to the finest technical details and concludes that our technology does exactly what is advertised, and praised the fretwork and setup as "flawless, 10/10."
