After several months of evaluations, reading countless numbers of five star reviews, and watching all the associated videos, I purchased the Paul Zelinsky Dellatera Engraved Paisley Black/Gold Hybrid guitar. It arrived late yesterday evening and when I opened the case, it was a beauty to behold. When I put my hand on the neck, to remove it from the case, I knew that I now have a very special detailed custom guitar. The Z-Glide neck was very detailed and reduced palm drag, when going up and down the neck. Per my request the set up was set as low as possible. Mr. Parker stated that it would be set "scary low" like he had on his guitars. The set up and action is perfect, with no problems. Hammering the strings and bends are easily performed and the sustain is great. It is equipped with dual sidekick pickups and a single coil in the middle. The tones are exceptional and can achieve the old favorite humbucker growl and then a more clean mellow Tele single coil sound. You can go from the humbuckers to single coil pickup with little to no volume loss. I must confess that this is now the best overall guitar that I own. The craftsmanship and overall appearance is exceptional. A very special thanks to Mr. Dean, Mr. Parker, and all the technicians involved in building and setting up my new Dellatera. Now I have to experiment with the different tones and get my favorite sounds established. It also has a very pretty well made case. My only regret is that I waited this long to purchase my one of a kind guitar. I had heard of Dean guitars, from my younger days, but just found out about the full line of Dean Zelinsky Private Label guitars. Please help spread the news about these fine guitars. It is a definite player and all guitarists deserve to know about and own one, or more, of these exceptional guitars. If you are searching for that special guitar please give DZPL a call and you will not be disappointed. They are eager to assist you with guitar questions and needs.
Special thanks and God Bless

Got my beautiful Dellatera a couple of hours ago and haven’t been able to put it down. Thank you Dean and family.

So this Deluxe Pine with piezo is amazing 2 true taps with a single coil and a piezo. 18 tones all of which can be mixed with the piezo or use the piezo alone ! That’s 37 tones by my count Dean. This is my 4th DZPL I could not be happier. I love mixing in the piezo with the neck Trutap . This is a huge sounding axe!

Received my red wine paisley engraved Dellatera ATW today , Christmas has arrived opening the well packed case was the most fun I’ve had in years. My wife laughed at how excited I was. Then I played for her all afternoon. I play at church and in a country western band can’t wait to show it off. I have Gibsons, Fenders and other guitars but this by far has the best feel and multiple sounds. Thank you Dean

This first thing I would say is that no matter how busy Dean is, he seems to find the time to talk to you about your new guitar.

These guitars he creates are works of art!

The best thing about his creations is that they look like no other guitar and sound like no other guitar due to the ATW wiring and pickups.

You are a genius Dean, thank you once again for creating some of the best guitars in the world!
