it wasn't very large

there was just enough room to cram the drums

in the corner over by the dodge

it was a fifty-four

with a mashed up door

and a cheesy little amp

with a sign on the front said

"fender champ"

and a second-hand guitar

it was a stratocaster with a whammy bar...........

While I was down in W.D.C.

Certain folks were not glad to see me

I just tried to get out the vote

But some little weasel must 'a dropped 'em a note

It said:

"Check out the politics

Practiced by this oaf

And if they ain't just right

Feed him Confinement Loaf."

They wanne be

Feedin' 'em

Feedin' 'em

Feedin' 'em

Feedin' 'em

Feedin' 'em

Feedin' 'em

Feedin' 'em

Feedin' 'em

LOAF...loaf

Ahem....that's a Gibson SG...

====================================================================

Sorta.

Mutant SG is more like it.

"-The “Baby Snakes SG,” was Zappa’s main guitar for the latter part of the ’70s. The guitar is not actually a Gibson, but rather the creation of “a guy in Phoenix,” who made his way backstage and sold the guitar to Zappa for $500. Though its playing feel is a lot like a Gibson SG’s, closer inspection reveals such non-Gibson details as a 23rd fret and some nifty inlays and ornamental woodwork. Luthier/electronics maker Rex Bogue—the man who Zappa also tasked to bring Hendrix’s charred Miami Pop Festival Strat back to life—added various delights to this guitar, such as phase switches and an onboard preamp (Bogue passed away in 1996). Great googley moogley! Go to guitarplayer.com to see Dweezil Zappa run you through this guitar’s tones while plugged into his dad’s infamous Pignose amplifier."

Saw some additional commentary somewhere that FZ had the Mutant SG hefted with some serious extra internal preamps to the point of where he could drive the output up to something like +18db to +21db.

We didn't have any dope or LSD, just a couple of quarts of beer

I'm still in shock that I out Zappa'd you on something.

You could tell it had been modified, extra switch and the bridge moved but the neck was from a Gibson SG and the body sure looked like it was a SG. I didn't know it was a clone.

The one time I saw FZ he played both a Fender and what I could swear was what was a SG custom. Dweezil uses the same guitar now.

For those that haven't seen Zappa Plays Zappa...the finale is what'll bring you to tears. Dweezil playing with his old man on the screen.

PS: Steve Vai isn't that bad either!

Back row, middle guitar is the Roxy SG if I'm not mistaken, which I believe was an SG Custom.

I tried looking on YouTube for a clip but its not there or I haven't found it...its the encore song where he's playing with his Dad on the jumbotron.

(often misspelled as Studebaker Hawk, like the auto)

sorry for the delay...been on the road.
