The new DBZ Guitars Croc Skin Bolero Guitar has been released and is soon to amaze people, and probably earn the ire of wildlife conservationists. A product of Dean B. Zelinsky's imagination, aesthetics and playability are combined in this one unique guitar. With a finish so realistic that may attract the attention of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Croc Skin Bolero's appearance, like its humbucker-supplied tone, totally bites (in a good or bad way, take your pick).

DBZ Guitar believes there's no pattern in nature more rock n' roll than the skin of a crocodile (crocodiles would most likely disagree, given then chance). With a thrust to imitate what is seen in nature, DBZ have made use of technology to enable a guitar to "wear" an animal's skin without harming one (crocodiles relieved, go back to stalking gazelle). The croc skin finish is a never-before-seen textured maple top made through proprietary DBZ technology. Designed to both look the part and, more importantly, play the part, the Croc Skin Bolero Guitar has a thick-cut maple top, custom-voiced DBZ pickups, lightweight alloy custom-designed tailpiece, and slick maple neck to ensure that it sounds as ferocious as it looks.
