Today, world-class artists still rely on dean’s craftsmanship and creativity.

amongst a sea of guitar companies, few are owned by someone who can take a blank canvas and design a guitar, hand sculpt a body, shape a neck, spray a classic sunburst...

zelinsky continues to balance tradition with ingenuity in his Private label Guitars. Presented herein are instruments that embody zelinsky’s 36 years of experience. with breakthrough concepts like the exclusive “z-Glide” neck and the ultra-thin single cutaway zenyatta, zelinsky has once again taken the function and design of guitar a bit further.

“Function dictates design....I like to take it a bit further”


“Put a bit of air betweenyou and your guitar”

2012 collecTion

The Z-Glide Reduced Friction neck (pat. pend.) utilizes a surface designed to let your hand glide effortlessly up and down the neck. Z-Glide necks eliminate the sticky/clammy feeling gloss lacquered necks are known to produce.

invented by company founder dean zelinsky, the revolutionary Z-Glide guitar neck is achieved by precisely engraving a carefully tested pattern into the back of the neck which reduces surface area and putting a bit of air between you and your guitar. The Z-Glide was also designed to trap moisture and sweat. The result is an ultra fast neck with a consistent, silky-smooth feel.

“This is likely the first real breakthrough in guitar design in many years”, explains zelinsky. “no other company has aggressively addressed the surface feel of guitar necks. For other companies, satin or unfinished necks is the “solution” and has been for years…but neither satin or unfinished comes close to what the Z-Glide achieves in feel and playability. i believe the protection the finish provides is important which was part of the inspiration of developing the Z-Glide neck…the magic happens underneath the finish,” concluded zelinsky.

Z-Glide necks are available as on option on all Tagliare models and the strettaVita custom BT & BT models.
