DBZ Guitars is unveiling its Z-Glide reduced-friction neck at next week’s NAMM show in Anaheim, California.

Available as an option on DBZ USA Custom Shop Guitars, the new neck utilizes a surface designed to let the player’s hand move more easily on the neck, eliminating the sticky/clammy feeling gloss-lacquered necks are known to produce.

Invented by company founder Dean Zelinsky, the Z-Glide is achieved by precisely engraving carefully tested patterns into the back of the neck which reduce surface area while trapping moisture and sweat. To learn more, visit dbzguitars.com.
