Dean B. Zelinsky had founded Dean Guitars in the late 1970’s beating
almost all odds by creating a line of guitars that for a 20-year-old to
take on the biggest manufacturers in the world and rise above the
clutter to become a household name.
In 2009 Dean Zelinsky ventured out on his own to begin fresh, away from the corporate entity that Dean guitars had become. Instead of a sales game about numbers he could concentrate on creating quality instruments designed for players.
The DBZ company is instantly recognizable for its distinctive new
designs by Dean himself. The 30 plus years experience that led artists
like Kerry Livgren, Billy Gibbons, Dimebag Darrell, Sammy Hagar, and
many, many more, is leading a whole new breed of guitar players to join
the Dean of Guitars DBZ Guitars.
