Dean Zelinsky guitars and has chosen the online retailer Full Compass as its first USA retailer.

“We are thrilled to welcome Dean Zelinsky Guitars to the Full Compass family of brands,” states Dana O’Brien, vice president of Merchandising at Full Compass. “As Dean Zelinsky Guitars first ever U.S. retailer, we are very proud to be offering Zelinsky’s legendary high quality, high value guitars to our customers.”

Dean Zelinsky is the founder of Dean Guitars and for over 40 years has built his reputation of creating exceptional guitars, thanks to unforgettable shapes and styles, high-quality sound, and innovation in playability. His pieces have been widely used by rock legends including Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, Dimebag Darrell of Pantera, Michael Schenker, Nancy Wilson of Heart, Rik Emmett of Triumph, Elliot Easton of The Cars, Sammy Hagar, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, and many more.

Zelinsky states his latest venture, Dean Zelinsky Guitars, is a move into “boutique” craftsmanship on more traditional designs. “I’ve gone back to my guitar designing roots. Furthermore, it’s been my job to deliver the best guitar for the money,” Zelinsky explains. “I want to continue to offer the most guitar at great prices, and that’s where Full Compass comes in. It’s a strategic alliance. We are boutique and custom and we want to roll out our new products through music stores that understand our unique value. Full Compass meets the criteria by being family-owned, and focused on quality and price.”

Through Dean Zelinsky Guitars, Zelinsky continues to add to his impressive list of creations. Since the label’s launch two years ago, Zelinsky has introduced several innovations in lutherie. His patented Z-Glide™ Neck is a design and technology no one else has in the business. It dramatically changes the functionality of the standard smooth or glossy necked guitar by reducing surface area by 70 percent so the hand glides effortlessly up and down the neck. The invention virtually eliminates that tacky feel that occurs on lacquered necks, allowing artists to perform without resistance.

Zelinsky’s SideKick Pickup is described as the world’s first humbucker that switches to a “true single-coil,” without any volume drop-off. Zelinsky is the first Luthier to achieve this sound. The SideKick can be added to any electric guitar under Zelinsky’s label, to become one of the world’s most versatile rock guitars. Both of these custom details will be available for purchase on the models sold through Full Compass.
