DBZ Imperial Solid Body Double Cutaway Electric Guitar - Flame Maple
Dean B. Zelinsky, also known as Dean Z, Dean Barrett Zelinsky or DBZ, is an American guitar luthier and founder of Dean Guitars in 1977 and DBZ Guitars in 2008. Probably most commonly known for his long term partnership with the late-great Dimebag Darrell of Pantera and Damage Plan fame.
This DBZ Imperial Flame Top however is a very different style of instrument to his more metal style axes. This one predates the merger with Diamond guitars by about a year, which is important to many, as this was when Dean was still overseeing the quality control of the DBZ instruments.
This one is finished in the beautiful Trans Wine colour.
The Imperial is the upscale model from this series.
The double cut body is made of mahogany base and flamed maple top. This is the most popular combination for electric guitars with top woods caps.
The body is bound in scrape binding and finished in gloss.
The neck has a soft V profile making it an extremely 'quick' neck yet also incredibly comfortable for complex chord shapes or riffs. It has a 24.75" scale length, 1 11/16 nut width, jumbo frets and a rosewood fingerboard.
The bridge section is a standard one with tune-o-matic bridge in front and stoptail bar in the back. All hardware is gold plated
DBZ made pickups are included in this model and contains two active humbuckers with coil splitting. Master volume, master tone and a three-way toggle pickup switch controls the tonal palette and it's an incredibly versatile guitar.
User reviews of this guitar are positive across the Globe for their ease of playability, excellent tone and overall build quality for the money. And having now played one it's easy to see why people speak so positively about them. This is a really impressive guitar that could justifiably sell well above it's price tag. It also covers pretty much every style we threw at it. Impressive...
This guitar is in EXCELLENT condition with minor signs of playing wear and some feint scratches, primarily on the back of the body.
