As expected, the Lavoce case fits my guitar perfectly. It looks solid and the colour and design stand out.

I just received my guitar. It is beautiful and plays awesome. So far this is my first break from it for an hour or two.

TAGLIARE/DELLATERA CASE

OUTSTANDING WORKMANSHIP OUTSTANDING NECK SMOOTH AS A BABY ASS UNBELIEVABLE SOUND AND CONTROLS THE LOOK IS AWESOME THEY THINK ITS REAL SNAKE SKIN. LOVE IT 😍

Fine guitar

I'm having fun with it. It turned out to be everything I was hoping for.

OUTSTANDING LOOKING GUITAR 🎸 I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT THE BEST SOUNDING GUITAR I EVER HAD YOU GUYS OIT DID YOURSELF PLEASE KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING WORK THANK YOU VERY MUCH SMITTY

No problem when my neck returned. I have a FretFX led light installed, and the adhesive had given out, so I had to re-glue it in place, no damage to the leds or wiring. The cuts were a bit rougher than I expected, but the neck is smooth on the touched surface, and definitely faster. I think a stain was applied, which I would have preferred not, but it blends. The patent number is engraved, also, which I didn’t expect. It’s small, only noticed by me, most likely.

Was it worth $200 plus shipping? Yes, indeed. I have small complaints, but the feel is superior to where it t was. Smoother, faster, a better feel on the back of the neck.

Broke the high e on the first bend but I might have been a little overly excited. Beautiful guitar. What gauge strings did I have put on this? Lol

Would love to see it first. I’m sure it will be awesome.. I would like to have the option of a soft sided case similar the one offered by PRS

I just received my Strettavita 2 days ago and I am in love. The resonance, playability and overall build quality has surpassed my expectations. A big Thank You to the team at Dean Zelinsky- you are true craftsmen!

I purchased the LeVoce blondwood in vintage sunburst as a Christmas present to myself. I now play Southern Gospel music and I write Southern Gospel songs and list them with BMI. I wrote for a while for Crossroads Music and have had several songs on the radio. I now have formed my own publishing company. I also play for my church's praise team and the LeVoce is an absolute dream guitar to play. Aside from the stunning beauty of this instrument the action is the best I've ever played. I used to favor the Fender Telecaster and the Paul Reed Smith's guitars but the Levoce outplays them all. I will be getting a Strettavita next! Thanks Dean for your awesome work. I couldn't be happier!

Every thing demonstrated in the LaVoce video/s is true. The tones are magic especially for me the piezo humbucker blend. It’s light, thin on the edges, plays great and the neck is superb- sliding easily between chord or solo changes. I am so pleased with this guitar. Because I write songs in a variety of genres the easy movement between pickup sounds means I can switch between a heavy blues, a finger picking folk or a rock song easily. Thanks Dean and the team.

I replaced the pickguard on my 2000 Mexican Strat with an ATW Loaded Pickguard. After having a few days to play and adjust to the new pickups the change is amazing. I was going to replace the guitar; I just couldn't stand the cheap ceramic Mexican pickups any longer. They sounded dead, terrible tone. I have no plans to replace the guitar now. It will take a couple days to find the tone you really love, but you will find it. Like having a new guitar with the same feel. If you own a Strat and are not happy with the tone of the old pickups, I highly recommend this as a fix. I would buy this loaded pickguard in a second, I just love it!! Thank you, Dean, for such an incredible product.

I’ve always heard about Dean and his guitars. And while I’ve been a telecaster guy most of my life I played just about everyone there was and so far this is the only one that’s got all the tone in the world.

Probably the best thing was though is I talk to Dean personally and he helped me revise my order and make selections that would fit me better. Thank you Dean.

I’ve owned all the S-style and the T-Style guitar made by the company Leo started. Honestly, I play guitar pretty decent already on my old tried and true. But the Delterra has eclipsed all of them.

I ordered my LaVoce and received it promptly in 2 days, right before Christmas. The guitars is flawless, a beautiful instrument. It plays smoothly and easily, I’m not sure I needed the Z-Glide neck but I like it. The guitar has many “voices” it will take me a while to learn them all.
I’ve owned Hamer’s when they were made in Palatine, IL, PRS McCarty 594 10 top, many Les Paul’s, Fender’s, but the key word is “owned”. Like Old McDonald, had a dog, had a farm, you get the picture. I never have had the, “this is the one feeling” until now. My LaVoce is a keeper.
Thank you Dean and your team. Happy Holidays!

I bought my first Dean Zelinsky guitar last year as a Christmas gift to myself. I ordered the Dellaterra Paisley in Butterscotch and WOW..was I happy when it arrived. It is a work of art with all the bells and whistles crafted in immaculate detail. The Z-glide neck and the ATW wiring are Dean
patented specifics that you won't find any where else. I was so pleased with this guitar that I decided I had to have another one. This time I got the LeVoce in vintage sunburst and I think I like this one even more than the first one. Every detail is beautifully crafted and the finish is spectacular. Those critics who say Dean won't last have obviously never held or played one. Dean's creations compete with the best Gibsons and Fenders but at a much better price point. I've played and owned them all ( over 55 guitars to my collection ) and these beauties are better in quality, workmanship, and over all esthetics than anything on the guitar market. Go ahead and get yourself one...you won't regret it!

First time buying something this range on line, or from Zelinsky. It is gorgeous. Set up and tone amazing. I should have investigated more or found a way to play one before ordering, the neck is a little thin for my taste. But that is on me... I'll adjust. It is a beautiful smooth playing instrument.

Always Great

I've been the proud owner of a Cherry Burst La Voce Private Stock Dean Zelinsky guitar (Serial: S160894) for several years and as a collector and professional entertainer (Lead Guitarist for Whitehead). I am here to tell you that this instrument is a piece of art! Having played Gibson, Les Paul's, and Fender Stratocaster's most of my stage career in bands like the Sidewinders, The Boston Complex, The Billy Baslow Band just to name a few, I must say that Dean's guitars are truly special and a must to own and play if you are a serious musician!

My custom-built engraved copper paisley Dellatera arrived today. It's absolutely beautiful! It also sounds amazing -- it's everything I hoped it would be (including a a robust "country-twang" sound that I've been seeking). The pickups and switching system provide considerable sonic signature versatility. This is probably one of the first high-end guitars I've had built over the years for which I didn't need to modify the action (that doesn't mean that there was anything wrong with my other custom guitars; string height preferences vary between players). Thank you Dean for continuing your legacy of building fine instruments!

I’ll admit, I was first drawn to Dean’s guitars due to the beauty of the finishes. They are works of art and would be worth it just to hang on your wall… but, don’t. My Tag plays so smoothly and without effort that I wouldn’t think it possible. But, fortunately, it is.

The case is also first class. I’m sure this won’t be my only Zelinsky purchase, but I’ll have to wait to try to do this one justice first ;)

Thank you Dean for having the patience to talk me through the selection yourself. AWESOME!

Mike
