An early "patents pending" example of a Dean Zelinzky designed "Z" model. This 1977 model features a bound body with a glossy black finish, fast playing neck with a slight "V" shaped profile, and a split headstock, as well as a pair of original Dimarzio humbucking pickups. These handmade guitars were produced in very limited numbers making an original example in this condition especially difficult to find. A great addition to a collection and the perfect guitar for fans of late 70s hard rock!
