DEAN ZELINSKY DELLATERA
Dean Zelinsky’s latest model, the Dellatera, is his rendition of a classic, designed to appeal to country, blues and classic rock players alike. The guitar features his patented Z-Glide neck, which has a laser-textured design that eliminates the tacky feeling common to most guitar necks and lets players’ hands glide smoothly.
"This has been one of the most requested styles by my fan base in recent years,” Zelinsky says. “The requests come from players who want that classic single-cut style, that single-coil sound, and play my Z-Glide neck. Many Z-Glide players tell me they cannot go back to a conventional neck! The Dellatera is simply the model they want with the neck they must have."
The Dellatera Custom features a stylishly contoured alder body with beautiful flame maple-top. Its available in 10 different finishes, various pickguard and pickup options, hardware packages, rosewood or maple fingerboard as well as Z-Glide neck options.
The guitar has AlNiCo V cloth-wired, vintage single-coils that Zelinsky designed for the Dellatera. They’re a bit hotter and have a wider tonal range than most guitars in this category. Zelinsky’s exclusive SideKick pickup is available as an option, making the Dellatera the first guitar in this category to offer a true single-coil and vintage humbucker in the same space. Players can switch from single-coil to humbucker and the volumes absolutely match. Customers can configure their guitar with SideKick pickups in the neck, middle, or bridge position as well as any combination thereof.
The Dellatera comes stock with a rock-hard Canadian maple neck, a compound radius fingerboard, locking tuners, Zelinsky’s Hi-Tail single-coil bridge pickup and broad-tone neck single-coil, master volume and tone control with three-way switch, a graphite nut and a string retainer. Dellateras can be upgraded to Zelinsky’s Tejas custom-engraved hardware package, featuring a tailpiece and control plate engraved with floral designs inspired by custom western saddle makers.
