Zappa plays Zappa the Tour de Frank

Dweezil Zappa is performing Frank Zappa music in concert for the first time with an incredible band of musicians and guest stars Steve Vai, Terry Bozzio and Napoleon Murphy Brock.

Here'’s an excerpt from a Frank Zappa interview about his Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster…

Another one of my Strats is the one Hendrix burned at the Miami Pop Festival; it was given to me by this guy who used to be his roadie. I had it hanging on the wall in my basement for years until last year when I gave it to Rex and said, "Put this sucker back together," because it was all tore up. The neck was cracked off, the body was all fired, and the pickups were blistered and bubbled. That's the one that's got the Barcus-Berry in the neck. A lot of people thought I had Hendrix's guitar from Monterey, but it was from Miami; the one at Monterey was white and this one is sunburst.
