Received in 100% perfect condition. Tonal range is amazing. Both acoustic and electric pickup systems deliver the expected characteristic tonal colors. Blended sound is huge. And the instrument just feels so good from first chord; comfortable body shape and neck profile; smooth and flawless fretting and fingerboard. Top grain and finish is perfect. Gold tone hardware really makes the instrument look top notch. Very happy to finally get one of these.
The danger with a guitar that has a number of different sounds is that while varied, none of them really check all the boxes. This guitar is truly an exception. Playable, awesome fit and finish, and if you can’t find your tone with this thing go back to playing the oboe. It’s truly that good. My late 70’s Strat fell off its stand and busted the headstock into a few unfortunate pieces. I needed something to play this weekend, bought the rootbeer “ready to ship” but had the good folks at the factory reset the action and string gauge to accommodate my somewhat arthritic hands. Took 3 days, it’s here, plays great and you just can’t do better at anything approaching this price point. Buy it!
Wow! Thanks Dean! What a pleasure to play one of your innovative creations….ATW, Z- glide neck…..craftsmanship beyond compare…. Don’t know why I waited so long …. The last guitar I’ll ever own
Absolutely amazing architectural exuberance ! You want Live then You should Give . Experience , experiment and love to torment with such grace and hard to reach dollar figures for such talent that can express sounds on any curbside relic , scared may lead to scarred with such a purchase in hostile days of climate and changes . So let's begin with a Christmas Sale that Washington Himself would revere . Giveaways and half-off . Let's do it for the Love Sick Souls of Sound ?
Just received my new Tagliare ATW guitar. Every facet is well made and of high quality, it plays easily with the comfortable neck shape and the Z-glide feature. I’ve played the guitar only about an hour, so it will take some time to get the feel for the ATW tone options.
As a left handed guitarist, I am so glad Dean is making quality top notch left handed guitars ( not a watered down budget brand ONLY FOR LEFT HAND GUITARS while the top notch brands are only for right hand guitars).
I bought a lefty LaVoce. After playing the guitar for about 6 months, I can honestly say that I cannot stop playing! The tone and feel are great! The Z-glide is addictive! so smooth to touch!
Thank you Dean, for remember there are left handed guitarists that want the best also!
Beyond my expectations. Absolutely beautiful and plays just as good as it looks.
Beautiful. Have not played more than a few licks but I think it will be a 5!
I've never seen a guitar as BEAUTIFUL as this one, the Stretta Vita Tobacco Magma....and I can't wait to save up the $$$Valueation to BUY One
This Strettavita Tobacco Magma Burst beauty arrived today. I purchased it from the 'Ready To Ship Guitars' section of this site and it arrived within a week via signature required Fedex. It's a 'Made in USA' Custom Shop model. I assume it was made in '25 based on the first 2 digits of the serial number.
The fit and finish of this instrument is second to none, to include my US made Gibson's, Suhr, G&L, and Fender's.
The sound and sound variants are amazing, as well as the sustain on this thing which seems to last damn near forever. This guitar is heavy, being just over 9 lbs. I knew this going in, so I'm not whining. Just so you know it doesn't appear to be chambered.
Customer service during the ordering process was great! I used the chat function to have the zebra style pickups changed to the solid gold variety and asked for a hard shell case as part of the deal, which they agreed to. I would think any higher-end Made In USA Custom Shop model would come with a case, but that's neither here nor there so to speak. Make sure you ask for the case on the higher-end models to be rolled in. They'll probably work with you.
I do recommend going with the stock 9-42 gauge strings as there is some buzzing on the G and low E strings using the 10-46 gauge strings. I'll try the lower gauge variant when its time for new strings. Again, it's not bad at all.
There was no 'Certificate of Authentication' (COA)' provided and I kind of wish there was for resale purposes. I do plan to hold onto this guy. Also, don't let the Fedex man leave if the box is damaged during shipment (see picture). Luckily the guitar/case was not affected. Also, sign up for their email when first logging into the site to get $50 off which I failed to do prior to ordering. :(
I've had good and bad experiences ordering instruments online without touching them first. This was one of my better experiences.
Plays like a dream. It's hard to put down. The sound and ease of playing really inspires me to become a better player.
Walking through the door of Dean’s factory was an experience I won’t soon forget, stepping through the door is almost fairytale like, taking you back in time to Geppetto’s work shop. The smell of fresh sawdust in the air, templates on the wall, in-progress guitar necks hanging overhead, laser etched bodies ready for assembly, in-lay mother of pearl spiders itching to be set in fingerboards; a real wood workers dream come true. You can sense passion at every station and witness technology seamlessly blended into the process. The overriding theme is a cross between innovation and quality, both competing for prominence.
I’ve had the distinct pleasure of meeting a real down to earth, humble Dean previously but in this world I gained a real appreciation for Dean’s inner genius. In the world of guitar building, Dean Zelinsky is quite frankly brilliant. A real innovator and creator. A bit Mozart and Einstein; Antonio Goudy and Warhol, Michael Angelo and Bocelli. It’s no wonder every guitar Dean builds is a masterpiece. I can’t wait to see what he will come up with next.
Just got my new La Voce guitar today. It sounds better than it looks which is amazing! I plugged my La Voce in and couldn’t put it down for two hours. It’s light weight. I love it to death and the tonal possibilities are endless. Thank you Dean Zelinsky. It was well worth the wait.
Absolutely great guitar and dean is literally such a nice genuine dude! Super helpful.
This is my 2nd Dellatera ATW, the 1st was flame red, and i can't stop looking at it. The sound is off the charts, the sustain just keeps going like the energizer bunny...it mimics (and sounds better) than both my Gibson LP and Fender Strat, the pickup configuration is genius.... thanks to your team for an amazing product!!!!
Plays like a dream, beyond exceptional tone, quality.
I was literally at first Dean himself was part of the project the whole way I’m thinking about buying another one. It is yes that good.!!!
Just an incredible guitar. From the 3-D carved effect, the color, playability and sound it is the finest S type guitar I have ever played. The pickups are quiet, lots of different sounds from an almost sitar like sound to Hendrix and beyond.
Neck arrived, in perfect shape, I have not installed it yet, still in the body painting process, it is going to give my first build an amazing look, will give another review when it’s all together
From the look to the feel to the sound, the guitar is just incredible. The Z-Neck is everything I hoped it would be and more. You have to feel it to believe it. It is so smooth. ATW is the real deal too. I would by another Z-Neck guitar in a heartbeat.
The craftsmanship alone make this worth every penny, Then there is the playability and tones it can produce. I am very happy with my La Voce!
Where to start. Being able to customize my Lavoce to my liking is great place to start
The options available were awesome and hard to choose between honestly. I mean. Who wouldn’t want One of Each Please ❤️
Got my LaVoce delivered to my door opened the box gently took out the Classic Tweed Case and unveiled the masterpiece.
What blew me away the most The piezo pick up quality of sound. Seriously.
In my hands. It’s an electric guitar. But. To my ears. Acoustic all the way.
Touch of a switch and it’s Rock n Roll
Touch again. It’s . Blues all the way. Country. Jazz the list just goes on and on. So much
The action The beautiful quilted finish. The hardware. The feel The sound. The goosebumps ( The Lavoce) by Dean Zelinsky.
Simply. A Great Quality Guitar that has all the tone in the world at your fingertips
I am blown away with how beautiful the neck looks. The feel of the neck has changed completely. It's hard to put into words. Simply put it's amazing what an inavative and new approach to the plain old guitar neck.I love how the z-glide feels while I play.
I took the plunge on buying a La Voce having seen them on line. Im lucky enough to live within travelling distance and so I visited Dean at his work shop. It was an amazing experience and I fell in love immediately.
The guitar was delivered and packaged immaculately and lives up to expectations! brilliant and cheaper than a production line Gibbo
