2024 Shabat Lynx DZ - Olympic White 004

Lynx DZ – Crafted to Dweezil Zappa’s Exact Specifications

The Altitude Summary

The Lynx DZ is a masterfully built tribute to Dweezil Zappa’s unique and heavily modified Shabat Lynx. Designed to his exact specifications, this guitar blends high-performance functionality with a vintage aesthetic, offering players exceptional tonal range and expressive control. Featuring a body-mounted HSS pickup configuration, a push/pull phase shift, a Vega-Trem VT1 tremolo, and a custom-cut pickguard, the Lynx DZ is a truly singular instrument. Whether you’re exploring classic tones or crafting new sonic textures, this guitar delivers effortless playability and striking versatility.

This guitar is pre-owned, but in mint condition as the buyer chose a different color after taking it home for a couple of weeks and has 10 gauge slinky strings installed instead of the gold DZ signature strings factory from Shabat.

Designed for Supreme Playability and Versatility
Built for comfort and precision, the Lynx DZ boasts an alder body that provides a balanced, resonant foundation for rich, dynamic tones. Its quartersawn hard maple neck is shaped into a comfortable medium C profile, ensuring effortless playability. The 25.5” scale length offers excellent note clarity and sustain, while Dunlop 6105 nickel steel frets enhance accuracy and durability, making it a reliable companion for both studio and stage.

Premium Hardware for Enhanced Performance
Designed for both stability and expressive play, the Lynx DZ is equipped with gold hardware for a sleek aesthetic and lasting durability. Kluson Deluxe tuners provide exceptional tuning stability, while the Vega-Trem VT1 Ultra Trem bridge offers fluid, precise tremolo action, from delicate vibrato to deep dive-bombs. The TUSQ XL nut further enhances tuning consistency and sustain, allowing the guitar’s natural resonance to shine.

Dynamic Pickup Configuration and Custom Electronics
The Lynx DZ features a custom HSS pickup setup with Lollar Special S single coils in the neck and middle positions and an El Rayo humbucker in the bridge. This versatile combination delivers everything from crisp, vintage-inspired clarity to powerful modern punch. The push/pull phase shift on the middle pickup adds another level of tonal depth, while CTS pots and Orange Drop capacitors ensure smooth, reliable performance with high-quality signal integrity.

Classic Aesthetics with a Nitrocellulose Finish
With a nitrocellulose lacquer finish, the Lynx DZ captures the timeless appeal of vintage guitars while allowing natural aging and wear over time. The custom 3-ply parchment/gold pickguard enhances the instrument’s visual charm while adding durability. Optima gold-plated strings complement the high-end craftsmanship, ensuring a playing experience that is as smooth as it is visually stunning.
