“It’s insane… If you hold it up to the light you can see through it”: Dweezil Zappa finally gets his hands on the viral cardboard Strat and cooks up a crazy psych-rock rager for the occasion

Dweezil Zappa plays a cardboard Fender Stratocaster in Hikari Studios, Los Angeles.

Dweezil Zappa has played some weird-ass electric guitars in his time. He’s had Gibson’s master luthier Jim DeCola build him a meticulous replica of his father’s Hot Rats Les Paul – and requested subsequent modifications.

He has owned a stereo Ripley guitar that came with a rack-mounted “brain” that allowed him to pan each string to wherever. This thing was super rare. Ry Cooder had one. Eddie Van Halen had one. It blew EVH’s mind. He called it ‘the Super Pluto Guitar.’
