In the 1970s when luthier Dean Zelinsky decided that available guitars just weren’t exciting enough, he decided to do something about it. And, because he’d been building his own guitars since he was a kid, he was just the guy to take on the task of reinvigorating the guitar world.

Today the Dean Guitars product line includes everything from electric guitars, bass guitars, and acoustic guitars to Bluegrass resonator guitars, mandolins, and banjos. Dean Guitars quickly became famous for their radical shapes and pointed guitar bodies with an iconic Dean V-shaped headstock and winged logo. Rockers who want to look radical have loved these creations ever since.

The list of musicians who have used Dean products is staggering: from “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott to ZZ Top. In between are names like Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Eric Peterson of Testament, Jerry Cantrell of Alice In Chains, Michael Angelo Batio of Nitro, Michael Schenker of UFO and MSG, Rik Emmett of Triumph, Ric Ocasek of The Cars, Rudolf Schenker of Scorpions, C.C. Deville of Poison, Nancy Wilson of Heart, and Zakk Wylde of Ozzy Osborne and Black Label Society.
