Description

Since its debut in 1977, the Dean Z has stood as a defining symbol in rock and metal, and the Z 79 is no exception to that rich legacy. Crafted with a beautiful Eastern Mahogany body and a set neck construction, this guitar is built to provide the warm, resonant tones and impressive sustain that are the hallmarks of its predecessors.

What sets the Z 79 apart is its ability to merge classic sound with modern playability. The guitar is equipped with DMT Series Time Capsule pickups, designed to recreate the nostalgic, vintage tones that made the original Z famous, while still providing the versatility needed to play today’s diverse music styles, from hard rock to modern metal and beyond.

The natural mahogany finish gives the guitar a sleek, timeless look, while the bound body and Indian Rosewood fingerboard elevate its overall aesthetic and playability. With precision craftsmanship at its core, this guitar is built to handle any playing style, whether you're shredding through solos or laying down heavy riffs. All of these premium features come together at a price point that's accessible for musicians who want the look, sound, and feel of a classic, without breaking the bank.

Whether you're revisiting the iconic sounds of yesteryear or exploring new musical horizons, the Dean Z 79 is a versatile, high-quality instrument designed to inspire your creativity.
