Dean Zelinsky Show #7 | Dean Signs his First HUGE Rockstar

[@bangthatdrum]

I want to hear about how Dean took Dimes Razorback sketches and turned them in to guitars. Awesome work guys.

[@DCB2038]

Love Parker and the crew. Can’t wait to hear about Dime Guitarz!!!

[@stevetippy5509]

Good Show Dean and I'm Loving my New Dellatera Snake Skin super Guitar !

[@steveniles6510]

Really look forward to the new episodes. The stories are great. I had an 82 black Baby Z that was my main guitar for several years until I decided to gift it to a girlfriend that was learning to play. Not one of my most brilliant moments. That guitar had the perfect neck and sounded so good. Thanks Dean!

[@RocketBoy1969]

Great stories! I was in high School during that time and always lusted for a Dean ML and the V back then but didn't have the $- Looking forward to more of Dean's stories.

[@Oliverzackley]

Dean, I bought my first ML in 1981-82. That was one of the most iconic purchases I have ever made! I have since purchased many others. including many of your Private label guitars. Amazing , to say the least!. To be so enamored by your guitars at such an early age in my musical career, proved to be a turning point in how I evaluated a guitar. My guitar was sheer perfection in playability, tone, and just an incredible uniqueness that inspired my musical journey! Thanks for being the most relatable, in touch with your customers kind of guy! You are truly an American icon in the guitar industry!

[@Deanzelinskyguitars]

Thanks for the kind words. Such a nice compliment!

[@EricMorettin]

Would love to hear about the return/comeback of Dean in the early 2000s up until you left. Great work as always!

[@dustinblock9186]

I must say of all the countless youtube subscriptions I have, most of which I don't even watch or just don't have the time.. This podcast is the one I look forward to the most. It's real and not just for laughs, it's vibe is cool and the stories are amazing. Thank you!!

Thank you. We’re just getting going.

[@dustinblock9186]

Yes! Keep em up! ❤

[@Manwiththatlongname]

Great episode. Parker is great!

[@swcone]

I was going to say something about going into six string sales as a little kid and seeing your guitars on the top (out of reach and at the time out of my price range) display self. Always stood in awe of them and now own a few. I left with a Hondo that day but will never forget the first impression they made on me.

[@mattgallagher6979]

I know your old company is a touchy subject, but I just wanted to say that I own Hardtail #49 since it was new. I love this guitar, gigged it for many years. The frets have divots, the hardware is a little tarnished, but it still looks and plays as awesome as the day I got it. No trailer queen. I'd love to tell you about the story of how I purchased it, and why I will be playing this guitar for life.

[@1satisfiedmind]

I see a pic Kerry Livren, I click "PLAY!"

[@RandyFrancis-s6y]

Dean, you are a great guy and guitar maker,I have 4 and there all awesome.

[@gunzrloaded]

Love all of your podcasts....always very interesting...! You sure have a cool looking albino doberman ....sorry to hear about the dogs vision problem. Look forward to your next podcast. Cheers

[@Deanzelinskyguitars]

Thank you!

[@VashStarwind]

It would be cool if Dean made a video on how to tell different generations of MLs apart. Like how to tell if one is an original Dean.

[@johnjames1813]

Great stuff!!!

[@mikedgolf40505]

First love DZPL guitar's. My StrettaVita and Tagliare are the best guitar's I've ever owned. Dean is a super nice guy, what you see on screen is him. My question is why did Dean leave Dean Guitar's in 2008?

[@pituophisart6916]

Albinos generally have red eyes, leucisitic animals however have blue eyes.

[@randymoreno4852]

How did you Dean, get involved with Dime during the “DamagePlan” Era & what was the overall Plan, for his future with dean guitars? You rock Dean & Parker!!! 🤘

[@TexasSmoking]

From what i know is dimes contract with washburn had expired, and he knew dean was back with the company so he went back to dean. Dime was still playing his washburns with damageplan but he also had a few dean imports he played too later in the bands life. Sadly he passed before dean could get him any usa dean guitars and of course dimes new design he was working on with dean the razorback.

[@mad-angler]

What's going on with Dimebag? Sorry, I couldn't resist!

[@EricRygh]

By the way I owned a pantenpending v in like 1980 I loved it. Traded a Ford capie for it

[@RandyFrancis-s6y]

I got 4 of the 2010s, 2 bolero s and a imperial, and a srtat all are great,

[@wadecourtney8958]

As an albino I do believe that poor vision is a part of it as I am also legally blind. I'm also a bass player too and I once knew another albino who was a drummer.

[@RandyFrancis-s6y]

Dean, your a Gibson or a Fender. Your quality is on par.

[@paulbrown4033]

How did washburn end up with the ml Dean body and headstock ?

[@Psuperbrain1]

Are you legally allowed to build one off original Dean Guitars?

[@ITSHAA-yn5zc]

Hi Dean, any chance in hell that you will ever be able to make ML’s again? Thanks Tom from Chicago.

[@Deanzelinskyguitars]

We think that day will come.

[@ITSHAA-yn5zc]

@@Deanzelinskyguitars I hope so!!!

[@jgrinnell8376]

Hey guys love the podcast. My question for dean is are we gonna see any ML Z or V shapes from your new line of guitars?

[@EricRygh]

What about Howie all Albert from guitars r. Us in Hollywood?

[@VashStarwind]

BRING BACK THE DEAN GIRLS!!! ha

[@LightenupandshootMikey]

Did I miss the groupie story? Great show. I like the business side of things. The story of getting Gibson lacquer was awesome.

[@Deanzelinskyguitars]

Glad you enjoyed it Thank you!

[@bradhardisty1652]

I takeit this was Summer NAMM 77?

[@JohnGuffey-ho3xc]

I want to hear about how Washburn knocked off the shape of the ML (I’m not too well versed on Dean models 🤷‍♂️ but I think that’s the one) and Dime endorsed Washburn. I’m sure it’s all about money and you probably were out of the game at the time, but I find some of the trademark infringement stuff to be kind of interesting. I believe you basically knocked off the explorer and v shapes, so I reckon it’s all fair game (or was). Either way, interesting stories.

[@TexasSmoking]

Dean was out of the game at that time. Dime was playing older ml models but was looking for a company that could make him one. That was during the tropical era of dean guitars, and they did make him a few but he didnt like them. Bc rich and hamer also made him some to try as well. But he went with washburn because they were the only company that offered to put his name on the guitars and agreed to make budget models for public sale. The body and headstock were altered on his washburns to avoid infringement. A common thing in the guitar world

[@keithspaulding6474]

Hey Parker are you in a Band....if so...any link to music?

[@Razrback]

333 dime was in this conversation

[@oneida41859]

Dean, you’re a national treasure. Parker, you don’t talk enough. I like how you keep things moving! The original Dean guitars, to me, are a part of pop culture. Rock history. My question to Dean is, what is your opinion of Gibson since King Henry, do you think they have become an industry bully? Paul Reed Smith. Can you relate to that company? Take care! Both of you! Love the podcast!

[@samspahic1434]

I have a question? I know you’re located in highland park. What about a retail store somewhere in the suburbs exclusive to your guitars and accessories? Would like to know?

[@Deanzelinskyguitars]

With the exception of our Ready-to-Ship section on our website, everything is built to order, and we ship direct. People are always more than welcome to drop by the shop and check out our guitars!

[@NewGenerationHeadbangersBall]

Now you need to find a current artist that can connect to the new generation of metal heads. Most kids born after 2000 don’t even know who Johnny or dime are or the guitars they played. Gotta expand for a wider market, your guitars have gone on for generations and dean guitars isn’t helpin to keep that name up. Gotta make sure you keep your name well known to the new kids too

[@NewGenerationHeadbangersBall]

@@AuntAlnico4 yeah we’re just sayin he should look into the new generation of guitar players too, instrumental music is becoming more and more popular with the younger generation right now. They can help carry the guitars into the next gen and show the guitars to them. Some kids don’t even know who dime was so how would they know about the guitars. I know of a kid who is blowin up his band and plays a stealth. A lot more kids of the new gen know him for playin that guitar and he’s makin kids buy ml shapes cause he plays it. We’re just suggesting he should have a new player endorse the guitars for the new generation

[@chasinguitars]

I think both u guys are a fresh of breath air on youtube..both doing great,..I had a ML in 1982..Nice guitar..opened for Johnny winter tour before he died at culture room fort Lauderdale, fl.went on the RV great guy...keep it up..I'm looking for next podcast already..Dave

[@claudionesdebologna2533]

There will never be another Dimebag Darrell

[@RandyFrancis-s6y]

Dave Mason story, funny

[@brotherdoom2406]

Cool story. Imma have to go back and watch the rest of your episodes. I’ve been a fan of Dean since I started playing. I love my Dean ML and V. Curious about a story about Randy Roads if one exists. I heard a rumor but clearly he chose Jackson and Gibson. Thanks!

[@Deanzelinskyguitars]

There is a story told to me by Rudy Sarzo. Will talk about it someday.

[@brotherdoom2406]

@@Deanzelinskyguitars can’t wait, Dean. On episode 2 and I can’t stop listening lol

[@stonephilips9361]

I call BS on the crossroads show!Guess he’s not a Derek Trucks fan

[@Bkellyusa]

Dean, It's been years now but I used to be Kim Simmons agent years ago. I use to have to call your shop to get ahold of Kim and spoke to you several times. That's when his wife managed him. I lost track of them overs the years but if you could please tell how to contact her I'd appreciate it. Phone, email, Facebook or any ideas of how to contact her would be great appreciated. Wishing you much continued success.

We REALLY need an update on DIMEGUITARZ guys…
