Frank Zappa, a relentless musical innovator and experimenter, relentlessly pursued new avenues to harness the latest advancements in technology. His career unfolded alongside the explosive growth of music technology, spanning from the 1960s to the subsequent three decades. Without groundbreaking inventions such as the Marshall amplifier, the Gibson SG, the wah-wah pedal, and the Synclavier, which he extensively modified and repurposed for his unique musical purposes, Zappa's artistic vision would have taken a vastly different shape and texture. As described by music enthusiasts, his compositions would have lacked the distinctive textures and dimensions that his gear contributed to.
Lavishly illustrated with over 180 exclusive photographs of Frank Zappa's guitars and equipment, taken by the author at his UMRK studio in Los Angeles, and featuring a foreword by Dweezil Zappa, Zappa's Gear offers an unparalleled insight into the machinery behind the legendary music. In addition to a comprehensive presentation of the equipment, Zappa's Gear introduces some of the pioneering inventors, engineers, and entrepreneurs who played pivotal roles in the creation of these instruments.
Zappa's Gear is an official Frank Zappa book, produced and written with the full cooperation and endorsement of Gail Zappa and the Zappa Family Trust. This captivating volume delves into the intricate details of Frank Zappa's musical arsenal, providing a profound appreciation for the instruments that shaped his extraordinary musical journey.
