Lynx DZ – Custom Built to Dweezil Zappa’s Specifications

The Altitude Summary

The Lynx DZ is a tribute to Dweezil Zappa’s iconic Shabat Lynx, painstakingly crafted to his exact specifications. Featuring a body-mounted HSS pickup configuration, a push/pull phase shift, and a Vega-Trem VT1 tremolo system, this guitar delivers unmatched tonal flexibility and expressive control. The custom 3-ply parchment and gold pickguard complements its vintage-inspired nitrocellulose finish, making the Lynx DZ a perfect blend of style and performance. Whether you’re chasing classic tones or exploring modern textures, this guitar is designed to meet the demands of the most discerning players.

Precision Design for Playability and Tone

Built with an alder body, the Lynx DZ provides a balanced tonal foundation that suits everything from smooth cleans to heavy overdrives. Its quartersawn hard maple neck, shaped into a comfortable medium C profile, ensures effortless playability, while the 25.5" scale length delivers exceptional note clarity. Dunlop 6105 frets add durability and precision, making the Lynx DZ a reliable choice for both live performances and studio sessions.

High-Performance Hardware

Equipped with premium gold hardware, the Lynx DZ combines elegance with functionality. Kluson Deluxe tuners provide rock-solid tuning stability, while the Vega-Trem VT1 Ultra Trem offers fluid pitch control for subtle vibrato or dramatic dive-bombs. The TUSQ XL nut enhances sustain and ensures consistent tuning, letting the guitar’s natural resonance shine through.

Versatile Pickup System with Enhanced Electronics

The Lynx DZ’s custom HSS configuration includes Lollar Special S single-coils and an El Rayo humbucker, offering a wide spectrum of tones. From vintage clarity to modern punch, this setup is built for tonal versatility. The push/pull phase shift on the middle pickup adds even more options, while CTS pots and Orange Drop capacitors ensure smooth, high-quality sound control.

Timeless Aesthetics and Nitrocellulose Finish

The nitrocellulose lacquer finish, combined with the 3-ply parchment and gold pickguard, gives the Lynx DZ a classic look that ages gracefully over time. Paired with Optima gold-plated strings, this guitar is as visually striking as it is sonically powerful, making it a standout on any stage.
