NAMM '09 - DBZ Guitar

[electroneticTV]

why was she even speaking

[Jasaxos]

Wow these look better than deans.

I really like the v

[guitaroon]

damn those boobs distract me from watching the guitar!

[MrROTD]

It's over 9000!!!!!!!!

[Killing4AReason]

lol "the v was catching my eye...amongst other things" i rekon.

[superstriker00]

The first guitar is a retooled les paul. Nothing more.

[outofthisswirled]

I was having a hard time looking at the guitars TBH.

[tMattLZ]

So these arent real DBZ guitars...

[AHMADF93]

He stopped making Dean guitars???

[Bigdeezy74]

@AHMADF93 Yeah he had a contract dispute, I know what you're thinking it has name on it ,but he sold the company in 1991,when he returned he was mainly a consultant ,to over see marketing , USA production,and artist production.Also designing new models along the way.

[xlespaulgothicx]

i want the bird of prey

[Snypro]

daaamn look at those models !!! porrrrnstars :D

[mbriandev]

these are definitely NOT over 9000

[lisannhodges67]

BAHA!

[NavidRH]

The dude can't talk about his guitars because of the hot chicks xD

[09kitty23]

i would rather watch the chicks than watching the guitar

[jamaicanhustla22]

the V is sexual

[Diakka2]

Possibly the stupidest guitars I have ever seen...

[s0ulfire]

i came to here hoping to see a Super Saiyan Guitar:(

[guysapire]

lol XD

[Nick5379]

I wouldn't a guitar that could crank it to OVER NINE THOOOUUSSSAAANNNNND!!!!!!!!

[brbbns1]

@s0ulfire I know right?!

[aricarends]

@s0ulfire yeah me too... big disappointment

[guitarking203]

are dean and dbz pretty much the same company??

[catstudent1]

no dean left the Dean company he believed they lacked quality and just wanted money

[orax16]

diff company but both started by same guy, he left dean to make dbz

[aj199508]

yh but then again what would you prefer a guitar that looks amazing but sounds shit or a guitar that looks like shit but sounds amazing

[BadBrains0]

I prefer a Guitar that sounds as Amazing as looks. XD

[aj199508]

i think the dbz guitars are better than deans now cos dbz isn original shapes cos theyre all like vs and stuff and the bird of prey is a sleeker ml but ive played both brands and the dbz gives a fuller tone and because of the newer versions of dean's old company's models it makes you stand out from the crowd when you're trying to get some attention on stage

[SoundOfAShark]

DBZ

corey suposedly is getting a signature DBZ

It really BLOWS! these where not dean guitars.

but i bet DBZ are just as good.

[commercialking]

his voice reminds me of Pauly Shore

[HiSarcasticFantastic]

I'm not sure if i like these guitars personally, the last guitar shown is a lot like a PRS and it seems the rest are pretty much Deans with weird finishes. Although i do really like the Headstocks. im sure they must sound brilliant too.

[hoang1428]

how are those strings so freaking shiny? wat brand are they

[calypsocoral]

Wow. I just now heard of these guys. I've respected Dean Zelinsky's stuff for some time now, but wow.

It's amazing, watching these old pioneers of the hard rock-oriented guitar industry leaving the companies they founded and doing something cool again. The likes include Dean Zelinsky (now with DBZ Guitars), Wayne Charvel (now with his son in Wayne Guitars), and Gary Kramer (now with Gary Kramer Guitars, where he's doing some really interesting stuff).

Any word on Grover Jackson?

[cobraopts7]

grover jackson has gone back to jackson and charvel hes now the main designer of jackson guitars and new models are coming out like destruction rhoads guitar death angel

[jleclai1]

What an awkward interview.

[Ydigisek]

...can you play over 9000 NPS with these?

Dragonball jokes aside, great looking guitars. :O Glad he left Dean, I really dont like what they are doing nowadays...

[hoang1428]

did they lower their quality?

[aj199508]

i would tap that

[hyperbrolly2000]

I was going to buy one, but it would have cost me over 9000 dollars

[SgtSquidy]

i hope zelnsky gets his revenge and owns dean

[crisjim4]

yah no shit i love my dean and i love dean guitars BUT i dont like what they are doin with dimes legacy and the quality has done down so much

[jsrockguitar]

so true. I love the guitars. But they are totally RAPING Dimes legacy and its pretty fucked up. But you have to think, Vinnie and Rita are letting them do it....

[toxicity28]

ahem ...does the DBZ guitars include the goku signature, with the kahmehameha pickup...cause i heard it has lots of energy

[MrClintBronson]

shit, i heard that croc skin is like 3000-4000! i thought it would be like above 5000

i cant wait unitl DBZ Guitars gets huge

[burningempire666]

MSRP about $6600

[arandomname666]

Why can't i find any of these DBZ guitars in England??

[bullettriviumbodom]

Same same, i'm like googleing it like mad and can't find any!

[chrisiztheman1618]

lol join the dbz forum for more info, they havent even finished making the guitars yet.

[walterppk1989]

horrible interviewing technique. Seriously.

[bubloopdude]

aw man i wanted to have a guitar that makes kamehameha's come out of the amp

[bastardofbodom07]

LMFAO!

I wish mine gave me the power to instant transmission.

[jesterxxslipknot]

What powerlevel does that guitar require?

[jmt1000]

at lease 9000 for low level guitars

i believe Frieza uses

high level guitars which take at the least 500,000 to 1,000,000. make sure to have a scouter tuner, more accurate.

[jmt1000]

Great, finally, we've been missing Dragon Ball Z guitars, finally i can transfer all my Ki Into my guitar. Ka ME HA MEHH HAAAAA!!!

SOUNDS GREAT!!!!

[walterppk1989]

lolwesome.

[tvelt17]

These things are too flashy, you will never see the innate subtleties on these guitars a few feet away. Once things get more complex than a flame maple or quilt maple top the subtleties are just lost on stage and at that point you just have more shit to nick and break.

[454james454]

Exactly my friend, yeah fair enough, they look LUSH, but you're gonna be ballin' your eyes out when you get a tiny little dent eh?

[alexandrevz00]

man, where is goku?

[Butsaay]

wtf lol i was actually expecting like....A SOOPA SAYAN GUITAAAAAAAAR!!! >>>:D

[TheMadArab305]

haha dumb blondes

[antiforce121]

Also by DBZ that's his name,

Dean B. Zelynsky, that may be spelt incorrect

[antiforce121]

Anyone seen the Bird Of Prey model?

Thats kick ass

[hiitsmcjosh]

yeah all the dark side of dean models are sweet!

[ConveyTheKing]

Where's Goku?

[asklcnvivdf]

Damn, I thought it was some Goku graphic or something.

[linitweapon]

dude I want to see a guitar with the DBZ characters on it...but I guess if they put a price tag on it it'd have to be OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!!

[Sparten1992]

lmao

[rjkahlon]

Wat about DBGT Guitars? haha

[thescumz]

a bad interviewer trying to bleed words out of some dead headed interviewee.

im not going to lie, i was hoping for a goku guitar.

[johnyfcknblaze]

man i was too! i swear when i read dbz guitar i thought it be a goku head or somethin haha

[LBDIED]

Those guitars are pretty nice, but I dunno if I would pay over 9,000 for one.

[bastardofbodom07]

LMAO.

[Fushpud]

I want a Goku model.

[bizthin]

Dean really has to work to get Brett's attention on the croc skin finish & how it's done. Brett doesn't seem interested in the top at all.

C'mon PG, wake your boy up!

[musician340]

DBZ are Deans, they're just more expensive, fucken waiste

[superjesus117]

Not at all

First off, TOTALLY different companies

Only connection is same founder

Look at Fender an G&L

Same founder, but anybody who has compared knows G&L's are usually of better quality.

Also, Dean is dead, almost 75% of their guitars at this point at Dime signature models

WHAT THE FUCK

Also, DBZ has import models in the 300-500 dollar range

[haxor179]

dragon ball z guitars hahaha

[catzeyzes]

alot of new technolgy...but still stuck in the 80ssssssssssss

[Juandisimo]

I don't think is matters how they look. I just want a comfortable neck and great tone. Appearance is meaningless but it can just add to a sweet guitar.

[inagod]

not a mention about pickups,electronics,etc.Who cares about floating logos,what's under the hood,how does it sound ,play?

[superjesus117]

Go to the site and find out

Most have EMG's (chrome/gold covers on some)

[DesertEagle69]

Where the fuck is my goku Vs brolli grapic? lol i want my goku nd brolli paintjob!!

[Lilrocker5150]

wat king of pickups?

[detroidxl]

dragon ball z guitars

XDDD

SICK

[srvblues1]

[SrBridges]

Whatta nice pair of...guitars yeah... Sorry, what is he trying to sell me???

[Dan4eva101]

LOLZ yeah same GO GOKU ON EMG's :P

[flipsy87]

lol i actually thought it was DragonBall guitar

[hamer098]

lol me too

[termnusdangerus666]

dude I want to see a guitar with the DBZ characters on it...but I guess if they put a price tag on it it'd have to be OVER NINE THOUSAND!!!!! xD

[Azeazel]

hahahahaha i laughed so hard with this comment hahahahahahhahah

i also thought that it was a dbz paint kinda thing but no, some fucking aligaytor shit xD

[Juandisimo]

Great comment.

[Ahnenerbedienst]

nothing says corporate pr like 3 blondes with massive cleavage just turning up to look good,

[lightyagarmi]

youre wrong! one of them is flat

[BUbba123bub]

thers 4

[Juandisimo]

Hey, as long as they turn heads towards his booth.

[lasagnalogo]

I have more respect for luthiers who don't come across as PR savvy. Who the hell cares if they come across like a PR pro? Can he make guitars? Hell yes, and that's why he left Dean... they were too much into milking PR strategies (Dime). You clowns dissing Dean Z. for being real on camera, as opposed to being a car salesman, are probably the same idiots who buy image-driven guitars that suck simply because you don't know how to appreciate a well-built guitar for being a well-built guitar.

[robbscool]

that chick at the beginning was hot

[AlbicaBand]

haha they look like the other models mothers sometimes too... must be the cheaper models... the muttons or somehitng... lol.

[6y298]

omg this guy BADLY needs a pr person - he's an ABYSMAL interviewee! Info about his own products has to be pried out of him!!!

[MusicMan20061210]

I was thinking the same...haha

[artartart]

you can go super saiyan level 3 with a Dragonball Z guitar LOL just kidding

[BahamutIsKing]

LOL. That would be awesome, though.

[dimebagpipebike]

The man behind the ML and all the good times with Dimebag on Dean guitars.. now they're exploting Dime's name just to make money, overpricing products and not giving so much quality for what you're paying, i´ve seen a lot of flaws on them. As i know Dean Z. left Dean guitars cuz of that, the company missed the line that he put some efford to create, actually Dime make the deal with Dean Z. since the beginning. I hope that DBZ guitars get really succesful cuz the man def knows what he's doing.

[drewpontow]

right on, I dont see a bright future for dean.

They have been selling deans classic ml, but the new stuff there coming out with is pathetic, they wont beable to leach of deans disgns much longer, there already trying to make new stuff which will fail, plus trivium there biggest endorser just left.

[crisjim4]

u hit the nail on the head. i actually got very lucky with my dean from hell i got it for 450 cuz of 2 paint chips and i think guitarcenter thought the neck was fucked but its awsome and my friend who fixed the neck up for me had 3 of them and said hes jelous cuz those 3 were hunks of shit and mines not

[dimebagpipebike]

actually all i want is a dean man... but here they are super overpriced, look, i can get LTD Alexi200 for the price of a MLX so my budget is kinda short for a Dime guitar. That "scratch n' dent" thing is pretty cool, here the stores are just for selling and don't do that, and obviously taking advantage of the dollar thing and beign the new brand in the country, pretty much we're paying cuz it's "exclusive"... wich is crap!

[ezekeil33]

I work at Guitar center and if you really want a dean we have a couple higher end models at our store in Jersey. They dont sell...so their mad cheap

[other1152]

...why would you destroy a flame top like that..?

[thebesttriviumfan]

I WANT ONE OF THOSE GUITARS!!!!!

[creativename11]

your name and your taste in guitars shows your gayness level...

[chrisiztheman1618]

are you stupid?these guitars look sweet

[creativename11]

your opinion... but your opinion is TeH GhEy and you must like teh guysecs

[chrisiztheman1618]

these guitars are very high quality and will be great sellers,i herd that the trivum guys are going with this company

[guitarman812]

awesome trivium is goin with these guys? sickkkkk

[chrisiztheman1618]

well all i no is that corey is either going with jackson or dbz and matt has already made a deal with a company and im pretty sure its dbz

[creativename11]

trivium = ghey trivium+DBZ= fail gay..end of discussion

[chrisiztheman1618]

you=fuckin stupid,trivium=stupid,DBZ=KICK­S ASS

[creativename11]

ill let the first one slide second one i agree with and you can not tell me you like those v's or the LP shape one

[chrisiztheman1618]

the shape is fine but im not a huge fan of the croc skin,the detail in these guitars is out of this world and i do like that v shape alot.
