DBZ Guitars is an American guitar manufacturer owned and operated by Dean B. Zelinsky, Jeff Diamant of Diamond Amplification, along with partner Terry Martin.
DBZ Guitars was officially formed in 2008 with their corporate headquarters and USA custom shop located in Houston, Texas. Dean parted ways with Dean Guitars [1] in mid 2008 and plans were soon made to launch DBZ Guitars[2] in order to give Mr. Zelinsky "personal control over design, direction and quality" to meet the demands of the custom electric, acoustic, and import markets that Mr. Zelinsky had spent his career helping to establish. The company website[3] features an interactive home page and a forum, where Zelinsky personally communicates with fans of his guitars from around the world.
