Frank Zappa was an unremitting musical innovator and experimenter
always looking for ways to exploit the latest advances in
technology. His working life coincided with the explosive
development of music technology that ran from the 1960s through the
following three decades. Without such inventions as the Marshall
amplifier the Gibson SG the wah-wah pedal and the Synclavier-much
of it modified to his requirements and used in ways for which they
had never been designed-Zappa's air sculptures as his music has
been described would have had a significantly different shape and
texture. Lavishly illustrated-including over 180 unique photographs
of Frank Zappa's guitars and equipment taken by the author at his
UMRK studio in LA and featuring a foreword by Dweezil Zappa-Zappa's
Gear offers an unprecedented inside look at the machinery behind
the legendary music. In addition to a detailed presentation of the
equipment Zappa's Gear also introduces some of the pioneering
inventors, engineers and entrepreneurs without whom the instruments
would not exist. Zappa's Gear is an official Frank Zappa book
produced and written with the full cooperation and endorsement of
Gail Zappa and the Zappa Family Trust.
