Review Demo Dean Zelinsky Guitars LaVoce Z Glide Custom
Read the review: http://bit.ly/DeanZLaVoce
An episode of the 1950s TV comedy I Love Lucy featured Vitameatavegamin, an elixir that purported to cure everything. As it turned out, Vitameatavegamin was mostly booze, which made it more fun than the average medicine, and made users feel better temporarily about, well, everything.
Like Vitameatavegamin, the LaVoce Z-Glide Custom from famed guitar designer Dean Zelinsky is designed to be a hydra-headed cure—one that can cure the need, or compulsion, to take multiple instruments to gigs. It offers true humbucking and single-coil tones, plus a “stage acoustic” sound generated via a bridge piezo pickup. The piezo tone can be blended into the single-coil and humbucking tones, or played separately. Thanks to the LaVoce’s stereo output jack, the conventional pickup and piezo tones can also be sent to separate amps if you chose to play in stereo—which is a cool option. But like Vitameatavegamin, the LaVoce has its plusses and minuses.
What’s terrific about this guitar is that it looks sharp, is well built, and is a joy to play. The slim body gives the guitar a light, sleek feel not unlike my Stratocaster. And at a gig, the test model’s gracefully arched solid mahogany body and flame maple top (in trans-wine finish with natural binding) was attractive enough to draw questions from musicians and civilians alike. Hardware including the GraphTech piezo-acoustic bridge, stop bar, pickup selector, and four nickel speed dials all look as substantial and efficient as they proved to be in practice. The 20:1 locking tuners are easy to grip and held steady as I changed from standard to open tunings and gave the strings a beating. Making adjustments to the humbucker/piezo mix and the output volume was smooth and easy. The sole exception was a small crackling sound that occurred every time I switched the coil tap between humbucking and single-coil modes.

It seems like a response to the Gibson/Dean lawsuit
distortion sounds naff
I would love to know where to get that special pot that has vol / 3 way switch combo.
I got 1 years ago. It's unique and awesome.
Thanks for the review can you tell me do you find the Guitar top-heavy with such a lightweight body
i don,t know sombady told you may boy you are antidepresiv boy .yes i will told you that ..gretings from serbia
the first guitar that seems to tick all the boxes for me
Nice Guitar
Light as a Parker fly?
Very innovative instrument. Sort of a take on an SG with all Les Paul. Wondering how the back scalloped neck feels!
I know I'm late to the party, but that opening song was so good! I had to go learn it immediately.
just some helpful advice, If your hands are going to be in the video, you may want to clean your nails.
sounds muddy
Price ?
Yoooo! This is dope
John you are such a great dude and guitarist! Love watching your reviews and interviews. Love you man!
Jim Carrey
Too muddy.
This is my next purchase, great video!!! Thanks
Hey John, I wanna know more about the feel of Z-Glide pattern as Dean says I can send him a Tele neck to do.There are no Z-Glide guitars near me to try, but the theory sounds good. I see negative and positive reviews, but they're all by non-pros who are unable to review it properly, so I need to hear it from you with some detail. Thx

damn, THIS is a guitar
Just one more pot for different tunings,,imagine getting DADGAD with just a rotary knob,,,or even a dropped tune to B
maybe next year for Dean! I see it coming! Awesome vid.
It feels kinda like the electronics are just a distraction from the guitar itself. How is the frework? Build quality? It kinda feels like a distraction from what actually Matters
I’ve already bought my second z glide
Bollinger your a beast n I love this ???? buying one
It's an interesting guitar, but I wish the body had a little bit more thickness and none of the stuff on the neck – reduction of neck friction is an easy task on a guitar that doesn't have historical value – scuff the lacquer or remove it.
I've got or have had several "do all" guitars pickup wise, but I'd rather take one guitar with humbuckers and one with single coils to a gig than have one guitar trying to do both. The simpler the wiring, the less trouble it will be down the road. Keep the de-oxit handy for guitars with a bunch of little switches in them.
Lots of voicing means lots of wiring…just watched another video with a guy trying to replace a switch, need to further investigate, nice guitar.
This is one ugly model. Can you review the Tagliare H-S-H? Considering it. Your playing is awesome as usual.
