Dweezil Zappa has partnered with Reverb.com to sell a number of custom guitars and other gear.
The collection is highlighted by one-of-a-kind custom guitars like a Neil Moser-built instrument graced with an illustration from Frank Zappa's 1979 Sheik Yerbouti album, and a green Charvel that can be seen on the cover of Dweezil Zappa's 1986 Havin' a Bad Day album.
The collection also features a number of pedals – a Fractal Axe-FX Ultra, Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone, and Vox wah among them.
"I have some really great things that haven't been out of the case in about 10 or 12 years," Zappa said. "So, I figured why not let somebody else enjoy those things. Let them be free in the wild!"
Zappa's green Charvel is particularly notable, as the six-string maestro wielded it in the music video for Don Johnson's 1986 pop hit, "Heartbeat." If you also dig the extremely of-its-time fashion in that video, the suit Zappa wore for it actually comes with the Charvel.
Other guitars in the collection include a Eric Johnson Fender Stratocaster fitted with a piezo bridge, and a custom PRS signature guitar with treble/bass clef inlays.
Dweezil Zappa's Official Reverb shop will go live on January 27, with some of the proceeds from the sale of the gear going to Feeding America.
