DEAN EXPLAINS THE Z-GLIDE NECK
Z-GLIDE COMPARISON
Experience the world's only friction-reduced patented neck.
Invented by Dean Zelinsky, the Z-Glide neck utlizes a carefully tested and applied engraving pattern that removes 70% of the surface area of the neck a player's hand comes into contact with. Your hand only touches 30%...the rest is air!
The micro air pockets wick moisture and create a cool, sleek feel that outperforms any neck in humid or sweaty environments and feels like a long worn-in neck from day one.

I’m so pleased Dean made these available. The finish and fretwork are quite flawless. I purchased the roasted maple/maple and painted the textured area carbon black and it looks really, really cool. Dream neck.

Great neck. Put it on a Tele Squire II body with Fralin hum-cancelling P90s. Plays way better than the stock neck now. Only had to adjust intonation a bit. Did not have to even adjust height and it plays great. Fret ends were smooth - no sharp edges. Frets are polished nicely. Low action. The Z-Glide (low friction) seems pretty nice - feels different but got used to it almost immediately and I think it is more comfortable and smoother. Easy installation. It’s a very professional guitar now. I LIKE it! Worth the money. I did have to make all the white fret markers black with a Sharpie (they WERE beautiful, though) due to my poor eyesight, or I would have kept hitting the wrong frets - but that’s on me. Thanks for the great neck Dean.

Can't wait to build a guitar for it.
