  • In this episode of “The Collection,” host Mark Agnesi travels to Los Angeles, CA, to check out the incredible guitar collection of Dweezil Zappa. Growing up the son of musical icon Frank Zappa, Dweezil began playing guitar as a young child, and by age 12, had released his first single. Dweezil has performed as a solo artist, as well as recreating his father’s music with the project Zappa Plays Zappa. Over his career, Dweezil has amassed a massive collection of odd and obscure guitars, including many of his father’s original instruments, fretless and half-fretted guitars, a microtonal guitar, and a Kramer guitar given to him by Eddie Van Halen during a soundcheck at his middle school talent show. His love of modifying guitars and his quest for new sounds makes Dweezil’s collection anything but ordinary.

    Dweezil is a phenom player, but three things I love about him. 1. He has is dad's brilliant understanding of music and tech. 2. Always looking for a different "thing" 3. He is super cool, every time when he is done playing, he always hands the guitar to Mark to try it out. A real musician!

      Guys - if it were a tour of Gibson, and their brands, then yes, all Gibson! But this is a tour of DWEEZIL ZAPPA'S collection. It better dam* well include everything brand in Dweezil's collection or it is inauthentic! It is fake news!
      C'mon people, stop allowing yourselves to be so easily controlled and manipulated.
      Musicians especially! What happened to the free spirit, 'buck the system', not being a sellout, rejecting the control by a multi-national corporation?
      So Gibson does not deserve special praise for doing what they already should be doing.
      I have owned around 18 Gibson and Gibson brand guitars. I bought 6 since 9/21, with a 7th arriving today. Had a new Fender Pro II Strat arrive two days ago, along with a new Tele and Ibanez a month ago. I love all good brands.

    Bless you Dweezil. Such understated skill, talent and humanity in a compassionate and generous man. He worked so hard learning his dad's difficult music with utmost accuracy to share with us live again and introduce to new listeners. Zappa Plays Zappa in Santa Rosa CA was like Frank and the Mothers reincarnated but with better live production. Two of my favorite online highlights are Watermelon in Easter Hay (London 2013) and Inca Roads (Complete) from the ZPZ dvd, also on RUclips. The faithfulness to (and dare I say possible improvement on) the originals is awesome.
    On a less upbeat note, there is Dweezil's interview on Mark Maron's WTF podcast, #718, where he emotionally describes the shameful treatment he received by his own mother and brother dealing with the estate after Frank's death. Even Maron was in tears.

I got to shake his hand and thank him for making his father’s work his work now and how much Frank inspired my musical choices. Everyone around me started clapping and agreeing and he looked genuinely moved.

      Tommy, I have heard this said of Dweezil many times.
      He seems to have a huge and very soft heart.
      I'm now going to say something that may have inaccuracies, but this thought has crossed my mind.
      By appearances Frank was not a man that related well with people on a "everyday level."
      He (I want to avoid making concrete statements) seemed so focused, and so serious. To me I believe Frank had some type of anger at his core. I am not judging that or presenting it as "a bad quality."
      I wonder if Frank ever laughed at himself?
      Again I want to acknowledge I don't know if my next statement is true let alone appropriate.
      With Dweezil playing Frank's Music, and being so willing to mix with the public.
      Here goes, Dweezil's interaction says "my father & I are so grateful for your interest in his/our work. He (my dad) was so committed to working, he really wanted to thank you all but believed you would understand. This is very humbling, thank you."
      I had a father that was not there, when he showed up at the age of 11, (my age at the time) his life was committed to helping others.
      I couldn't appreciate this until later in life. Parenting is a huge responsibility, the commandment "honor your father and mother" is not a conditional request.
      Many a child cherish the ability to hate their parents or parent.
      It is easy to love someone who in our eyes does everything WE want.
      Forgive me for droning on.
      Greetings from Colorado Springs Colorado. Christopher

    i tried to explain to my 12 year old what makes dweezil special.
    not because his dad was a musician - but the concept of changing a concept into a sound. if something isn't what you see it, or "hear" it to be what can you do to get it to that point?
    comments made here about ruining great guitars; it's like building a hot rod - sometimes you are fortunate enough to start with a reliable platform and just start picking out how to make "just that tone" a little different - to line up with what you feel and hear in your head.
    frank was the mad scientist of music. he could conceive sounds and tried conventional, and many unconventional ways to bring that to life.
    1963 zappa plays bicycle on steve allen is a perfect example of this. he looked uneasy explaining WHY you would do this but if you DON"T experiment you never know what you are missing out on.
    Dweezil Zappa - Guitar Alchemist.
    thank you for continuing to explore the the joys of the lost chord, Dweezil.
