One of the big announcements coming from the PRS exhibit at this year’s NAMM show is the Dweezil Zappa limited run, signature model guitar.
Features Include:
Dweezil himself was on hand to help launch the new guitar, check out what he had to say about the new axe at the PRS press conference held during the NAMM show.
“Paul and all the great people that work at PRS, they gave me the opportunity to build a guitar from the ground up. Obviously, this looks a little different than the other PRS guitars. It was a really fun process to choose the wood and see the whole thing get built from raw materials.
And what’s great is it has its own character and personality. It feels like an instrument that is more akin to a violin or even a cello. It has a real beautiful sustain to it and it’s really lightweight.
It’s really a pretty interesting instrument, so if you get a chance to pick it up and take a close look at it, I’d love to hear your thoughts. For me, it was really a great honor for them to say, “Hey would you like to make something and put your name on it?”
And of course I said, “Why not? That’s a fun project,” and I’m really pleased with the results. I’m able to play a lot of things and feel inspired by the instrument itself.
That’s one of the hallmarks of a guitar in itself. But, for guitar players, when you look at a guitar and you want to play it and you’re inspired by the sound it makes and just the overall feel, that’s why we all do this. It’s really fun and I really enjoyed working with everybody. If you get a chance to check it out, please do.”
