FedEx... Late, as frigging usual anymore! The ONLY negative! Not the fault of DZ Guitars!
Now to this awesome guitar! Keep in mind, I'm a PRS freak, with more of their oddball multi feature guitars with some of their standards as well, plus other brands sprinkled in
First of all, this Tagliare Wine Quilt with ATW wiring and Sidekick pickups is freaking absolutely beautiful!!! Plugged her in, tested all modes and switching positions. Took my time and ended up gradually lowering the bridge and neck "humbuckers" and raised the middle about 3/4 of a turn. SONIC FREAKING BLISS!!!!!!
If you try one out, make sure and play with the pickup heights until you find your flavor! I found clarity with growl with my pickup position adjustments!
Love the Z-Glide neck. Took a few minutes to forget about the little "potholes" and it just plays and fits like a glove. No wrist fatigue or forearm soreness after hours of p@ssing off my neighbor's that love rock and roll! That is hard for me to do since a doctor put my two left forearm bones back together a hair crooked when I was 17. Let's just say I play with the neck up at least 45 degrees to keep a 1st fret B chord from hurting a bit.
Great job, Dean Zelinsky and company. I don't know if you farm any of the process offshore (nothing but a serial number under your name on the back of the headstock, so I assume USA build). Not that I really care, because the dang guitar is beautiful and is a Swiss Army Knife Guitar that actually does everything well!!!
Very impressed with my first ever Dean Zelinsky guitar!!! Great 2024 build for me and a great value!
This one is staying. I might sell my HSS Strat now... LoL!!!
