Dean Zelinsky’s latest is the LaVoce, and it solves a common issue for the gigging musician: carrying multiple guitars to handle hum-bucking tones, single-coil sounds and acoustic songs.
The LaVoce has a 5-pickup system based around the SideKick pickup technology that puts a true single-coil and humbucker in the same package. The high fidelity piezoelectric bridge pickup completes Dean’s “Working Musician” concept with acoustic sounds for live stage.
The LaVoce is ultra-thin, lightweight (7-pounds)—the edge thickness of the custom carved, maple-topped mahogany body is 1⁄2-inch. The LaVoce includes Zelinsky’s patented Z-GlideTM Reduced Friction Neck, making this sonic gem truly effortless to play. The LaVoce starts at $787 and is sold only online.
