PRS Private Stock Dweezil Zappa Ltd Run 2011

When Paul approached Dweezil at the PRS Experience in 2009, he offered him to build a guitar specifically for him. Where other players would choose a standard design and would change a couple features, Zappa had a whole other approach and design in mind which isn't surprising knowing he is a virtuous guitarist and composer, and ofcourse the son of creative mastermind Frank Zappa.

The dramatically different shape of the mandolin inspired body is a departure from any body shape PRS has ever created, and the rowdy bass and treble clef inlay motif pays homage to the Zappa family legacy of eclectic playfulness.

This PRS Dweezil Zappa is limited to a run of 50 guitars and features a one-piece curly or quilted maple Private Stock top, ribboned mahogany back, ebony fretboards, 24 fret pattern neck with a 25” scale length, a stoptail bridge or tremolo, and an exclusive thin, semi-gloss nitro finish that accentuates the Vintage Goldburst color. 57/08 pickups add to the dynamics, and are rounded out with vintage tuners, a 3-way toggle and coil tap. The guitar has a beautiful natural sustain and fantastic playability all the way to the 24th fret. The condition is excellent with small signs of wear mainly located on the back and plastics, and some minor oxidation on the metals. A very clean, limited collector's guitar that is as unique as the artist it was made for.
