If you only like normal looking Telecaster style guitars look away now!

I played one of the first run of DBZ guitars and it was total firewood. Horrible heck profile covered in an inch of sticky poly, sharp frets and sounded dead as a door nail.

But other than those faults, what did you think?

I should add they were newest of the new first run, so they might have improved them now. 

I think it was a Barchetta and a Bolero. 

I was in a shop and had some time on my hands and the guy gave me an amp and said "Try what you like". The DBZ was probably the worst thing in the shop easily outclassed by significantly cheaper things like Vintage and Squier. I ended up buying a Fret King which was significantly cheaper and wiped the floor with it.

Apart form the headstock I actually quite like them!

same here, Pickguard design ain`t great though.

They'd go well with the colour scheme of Couch Guitar Straps.

My god, they look fantastic.  At last someone has built telecasters with a bit of class and character about them.

Not keen on the stripes on the top two, I think they'd look better, and still funky with the colour all over.  The rest are nice, especially the bottom one.

What's the deal with the reverse headstocks anyway?  Purely styling?

Like the top two.

I quite like them.

I have a soft spot for DBZ's Bird of Prey as well:

I rather like them. You don't often see a guitar looking that 'different'.

Wouldn't buy one though, unless they stuck some sort of trem on.
