@@leatherchopper He's used a lot of guitars like Lag and even a custom PRS. There's a Gibson TV Collection video about him ruclips.net/video/GDWo8blebpU/видео.htmlsi=p4IBDprFAJt3xEcm
Everything Dweezil plays and sounds so good, so musical. He’s equally comfy pulling from rock, prog, fusion, or blues. This new guitar is perfect. I wish I had one.
His demo of Dweezil’s signature guitar it is simply phenomenal! I love the sound, The tone of it, the clarity is amazing! You can hear every note, every chord progression, at any volume. And the addition of the built in octave effect, love it!
Dweez is the guy I immediately trust when it comes to Signature guitars -second only to Steve Vai.Yes this Dweezil thing seems a phenomenal guitar with a unique character.
Mother Mary and Joseph! What an incredible instrument - love the out-of-phase Octavia tone and the aesthetics are wonderful. And Dweezil just gets better and better ...
@@ThaTurdBurglar I think it is better than Sophia, but different. Trem with a lock nut don’t have the tone of a vintage trem. Vega has developed a trem that clears the standard cavity allowing impressive pull ups.
Dweeze is what happens when Steve Vai and Frank Zappa get married, settle down in a Yurt in L.A, and have a baby. Dweeze is BRILLIANT as are ALL of his siblings Moon, Ahmet, and Diva. Thanks Frank and Gail for continuing the continuum. You will ALL be remembered 1,000,000 years from now.
I have a thing for offwhite guitars; saw dweezil play the other day and a white shabat just sat there untouched on stage all night just looking at me..... now I can't stop thinking about it
I got to say I've been listening to Frank since I was 5 years old my older brother who's 12 years older than me let me listen to we're only in it for the money. I was hooked from that point on I knew every lyric. I bought every album of Frank's from that point on I loved hot rats, zootolores ,sheik yo booty, Joe's Garage one two and three. When he passed away I was so f****** heartbroken. later dweezel did something that I never thought would ever happen Zappa Plays Zappa.... I was a bit skeptical at first then I went to see Zappa Plays Zappa, the band was phenomenal and to my surprise dweezel was a master at guitar actually better than Frank in my opinion. I put DZ in the top 20... In the '80s I became friends with Aldo Nova he was at my house on Christmas Day 1985 and he went and played My Guitar which I thought was a piece of s*** Kramer but when he played the guitar the f****** guitar was amazing sounding so it wasn't the guitar it was who was playing the guitar. Yes I suck till this day he tells me LOL.... It's great to see DZ getting a guitar endorsement....hope you sell many.
My God D. I'm dreaming with this guitar! When I saw you playing I think: The guy piked up from his father Vault. I'm doing solos with you & your father every night alone 2 hours per day. Now I understand The reason of some "Sounds".
SHABAT, can you explain more what that phasing octavia how the middle pickup + neck pickup are wired or does it also use Resistor/Capacitors networks with the pickup wiring? I know yngwie malmsteen puts the neck pickup + bridge pickup out of phase to get an octavia tone.
Great looking guitar and it sounds fantastic. Wish I was still buying axes. Congrats to Dweezil on this awesome Sig Model and Cheers to Shabat for making such a sick looking and great sounding instrument.
The only thing I personally dont need or see a purpose for is that piece of pickguard on the horn. No. It sounds awesome tho! Abd thats all that matters.. I love it! And Dee! Im waiting for a blues album from you! That is killer playing man!
Love it. From the first notes he plays you know he is not going to play that boring guitar demo stuff you always hear. Instead he's pulling out all this amazing shit! Guitar isn't bad either 😉
What is a teacup push-pull pot? Google can't find it. How is the guitar wired? Really cool sounds, and great playing, as always! Love the look and features :)
Any push/pull pot will do the same job. CTS, Bourns are good brands. Then it's wired to go out of phase when the pot is pulled up. It's not a difficult wiring set up to do. It does require a pickup with 2 leads and a ground wire. Again, it's not hard to add a ground wire to a pickup. I wired my tele up with two push/pull pots. One puts the guitar out of phase when in the middle position, and the other puts the pickups in series instead of parallel. Which gives it a volume boost, kinda like a humbucker. You can find diagrams online for all this stuff.
@@shilesw5324 Thank you for your help. I already know this (have Jimmy Page wiring in a guitar), but they call this a teacup pot with a weird switch, and it triggers an octave divider? He only has 1 knob, so figured it's some new Superswitch deal.
Calling it a Teacup is just referring to the Hofner style “teacup” knob they used. Ronin guitars also used them and since Dweezil has and plays a Ronin Mirari, use of that knob was likely his choice.
@@HALWASRIGHT there’s quite a huge difference between this and HB prices. There’s a lot of fantastic guitars for half the price or even less. I have no doubt this is a top quality guitar. It’s just not very affordable.
I love the way Dweezil plays!!! He’s nuts!!!
Monster.
Dweezil is one of the most underrated players on the planet. He can do things no one in the world can do.
He's good, but relax...
@@notsure1135have to agree. Good guitar player, but lots of those out there. Without Frank’s name, not sure we would know who he is.
@@notsure1135Oh shut it.
@@richietownsend6737 clearly, you don’t actually play guitar…
@@Cajun-it3yf and who are you again?
*_This channel doesn't have any content_*
The ending ... we need more laughter in life!!! Beautiul guitar ... and amazing playing.
Dweez is THE MaN!! Can't wait to see him shred this beast. 41 days to go!!
Man that thing is a tone MACHINE
The great Dweezil Zappa will be the one to put Shabat Guitars on the map!
Nothing against Dweezil, he’s great, but do you remember his amplifier?
@@leatherchopper Which one?
@@leatherchopper You mean the one that looks, like, a car?

I love the expression on Avishi's face...when Dweezil plays...
An amazing guitar

Tasty licks! It almost sounds like Dweezil is using a slide on some of those runs even though he isn't. Very slick!
Dweez is the guy I immediately trust when it comes to Signature guitars -second only to Steve Vai.Yes this Dweezil thing seems a phenomenal guitar with a unique character.
Oh, hell yeah!!! Absolutely love the guitar and of course Dweezil does it justice
Mother Mary and Joseph! What an incredible instrument - love the out-of-phase Octavia tone and the aesthetics are wonderful. And Dweezil just gets better and better ...
All you can say is amazing guitar..and Dweezil.
Vega Trem is the best trem out there. Great choice for the DZ signature.
Got a Vega-Trem a year ago.I've had em-all.Vega-Trem has it hands down.Dreezil can make anything sound great.
Better than sophias?
@@ThaTurdBurglar I think it is better than Sophia, but different. Trem with a lock nut don’t have the tone of a vintage trem. Vega has developed a trem that clears the standard cavity allowing impressive pull ups.
I have 4 of them and I agree.
Sounds great and looks cool. I love my Vega trem, it's a revolution! Love the push pull. Great balance of the pickups.
incredible sound DAMN!
Killer Guitar, Killer Tone, Killer Playing.
Great Stuff!!
He’s played the rest now he has the best! Beautiful instrument!
We knew Dweezil was amazing but just in case you forgot here's this video. What a monster. Very Jeffy with the Vega Trem.
That out of phase setting reminds me of the Eric Johnson’s Virginia strat.
Very cool guitar! Congrats Avi!
Wow !! This is a beautiful guitar !! Well done ! Greetings from Quebec !
These axes look & sound awesome
the tone is awesome
It was about time ❤🙏.
Sounds as good as it looks 💙
Fantastic guitar! Great for all styles of play. I could easily love one.

Don’t thank Gail! She told the weasel he hast to pay her royalties to play Frank songs on the road? B$tch?
That lollar single coil sounds so sweet.

One knob wonder! Dweezil is the man!
Dweezil is awesome! That guitar sounds awesome. Reminiscent of EVH Frankie and the brown tone or wetf they call it.
SHABAT, can you explain more what that phasing octavia how the middle pickup + neck pickup are wired or does it also use Resistor/Capacitors networks with the pickup wiring? I know yngwie malmsteen puts the neck pickup + bridge pickup out of phase to get an octavia tone.
😂 It is company's secret.
I would want to have it for the effect of that switch alone! This thing sounds amazing. 🧡
I daren't look at the price of this, but the reality is Dweezil could make ANY guitar sound amazing.
Great looking guitar and it sounds fantastic. Wish I was still buying axes. Congrats to Dweezil on this awesome Sig Model and Cheers to Shabat for making such a sick looking and great sounding instrument.
Dweezil just has it man! The real deal
Great player, great guitar, good times!
I actually would rather listen to Dweezil play than Vai and Satriani, that was highly enjoyable. The guitar is pretty good, too!
Fantastic! The out of phase settings definitely get you into “Jeff Beck” land… and I’m digging it!
Damn! What a guitar!!! So diverse and it looks cooler than hell! Hats off to Shabat and Dweezil, you are a master. Keep on 👊🏼
Avi and Dweezil ride again!!
my lord those whammy bar licks were the bees knees
Damnit,i was thinking "ANOTHER STRAT.......WOW......."then Dweezil went to playing it,im impressed,very impressed
Very cool. Very nice guitar and I love that effect. That's just too cool and sounds almost like a slide being used. ❤..
2 springs on the claw? must be able to wiggle it just from looking at it! as always, great video and playing from dweezil.
They are very buttery for sure.
wonderful axe.. into magic hands! 😍
I wonder why are you still using single action truss rods?
I wonder too...🤔.
Wonky and weird... oh HELL yeah! Dig that guitar, man... nicely done!
Pretty cool boys! Thanks for the share!
Definitely a Unique guitar, that built in octave type effect, tremolo, might need to add to my collection!
Dweezil Zappa🤘
Thank you Dweez Thank you Shabat
Thank you God for making Frank Zappa … who in turn made all this happen 🤗
Such an Amazing Artist and Legacy ❤
Headstock looks like Grover Jackson’s GJ2 models💯👏🏻
Any of the buzzing is probably because he's playing .008s. I think his tones are really great!
Yes, but with a shiny spanking new finish, please
This looks amazing...
I'm really interested in these. What is the average weight? Thanks.
The first sound he gets out of it sounds like Zoot Allures!
Good ol Dweezil- Guy can literally play almost anything he sets his sights for, but still probably one of the best traditional blues players alive.
Keb Mo, Robert Cray, Eric Gales & Kingfish are all saying "hold my beer"
The only thing I personally dont need or see a purpose for is that piece of pickguard on the horn. No. It sounds awesome tho! Abd thats all that matters.. I love it! And Dee! Im waiting for a blues album from you! That is killer playing man!
Wonderful !!!!! I love this !!!!!
Love it. From the first notes he plays you know he is not going to play that boring guitar demo stuff you always hear.
Instead he's pulling out all this amazing shit!
Guitar isn't bad either 😉
Gotta be interesting blessings n difficult for Dweezil having famous dad,,all aside he's actually a very well rounded good guitarist
Eddie are you kidding? Love it… somebody grab me a napkin
Can the Vegatrem sound like a Floyd Rose? Or is it more for producing slide-like effects?
It is free floating so it can do all the Floyd burps and flutters and dive bombs and pull ups. They are made like tanks too.
Sure he had Eddie Van Halen and his dad as guitar teachers!!!😮
Great stuff! Avi, how many guitars did you make for Friedman? Do you know which serial numbers? Thanks!
Awesome guitar.

@@neenerheaddj ah, ok , thank you for the clarification:)
That was fun!
Very cool. If you didn't know better you might think Dweezil's dad was actually Billy Gibbons! LOL
Nobody else hears all that fret buzz? He must have super low action.
Yes and new strings always sound more metallic.
Cool tones. His shredding is like Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen & Frank Zappa combined.
Eddie is all over that design.
Wicked cool 🔥 🤘🏼🔥 🤘🏼🔥
Being he has roadies I guess its why he went with Vintage style tuners ?.. I prefer them too but on a gig prefer locking quick change of string tuners
Where would modern players be without Malmsteen, Eddie and Jeff Beck?
And to buy one ???
Hit us up via email or on our website. Thank you!
Kinda sounds “Buzzy” to me. I wonder how low the action is set on it 🤔
Very low and it is stylistic thing depends on music played.
Was the design supposed to be random 80s parts guitar found in a pile? Used corner type stuff that fills the walls?
Stealth put down. Nice…
Killin
Awesome.
What song is the intro
Darude - Sandstorm
Heavy Duty Judy
Super funny for the ending. Ha Ha
Lot of buzzing on the lower strings, could probably use a set up.
‘Single action’ truss rod? 😢
Sandberg says dual action is BS, they only do it because people assume dual is better than single action.
killa guitar!
I came here from Dweezil's IG post.
Me too
..гитара, как гитара...просто Dweezil сыграет хоть на дверной ручке..великому мастеру всё равно на чём играть..в любом случае будет шедевр !
It’s a guitar. Dweezil would sound like Dweezil on a Squier.
Strings are very low:)
Niiiice!
You just can't make the Fender Stratocaster better.
Treble city.
Incredible
Just what we need, another strat LOL
Sounds good. However, I think DZ could make a broomstick sound good
Love Dweezil!
But this is not another guitar for the common man with this price tag :/
You should stick to Harley Benton then. Maybe you might be happier 🤷
@@HALWASRIGHT there’s quite a huge difference between this and HB prices. There’s a lot of fantastic guitars for half the price or even less. I have no doubt this is a top quality guitar. It’s just not very affordable.
