Jun 30, 2024 · When last we met in this column space, Dweezil Zappa was describing the truly immersive 24-bit/96kHz Dolby Atmos remix—key word, remix—that he did for the 50th anniversary 3CD/1LP/1BD super deluxe edition box set celebrating Deep Purple’s seminal March 1972 album Machine Head (Warner Records).
Jun 28, 2024 · When Dweezil Zappa heads out on tour in August to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his father, Frank’s landmark releases Apostrophe and Roxy & Elsewhere, he will be performing some fiendishly difficult arrangements – but at least he will be well-armed, with a brand new signature guitar that he describes as “the ultimate rock machine.

Jun 28, 2024 · Dweezil Zappa unveils his new signature guitar, a modded Shabat Lynx built for "ultimate rock machine" status. Featuring Lollar pickups, a "weird knob" for unique tones, and a heavily distressed finish, this axe is a shredder's dream.
