The video surprised me in his choice of an ass-like tone to showcase the guitars, him being a top pro player. Weird.

79Sunburst Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 The green monster will probably bring 6 figures. I'd just get Charvel/ Fender Custom Shop to make me one for 4 grand. But I get it, the history. I'd have to be a multimillionaire to buy it.
cmatthes Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 He sold his cool Hamers and the Gold Iceman (and a few Wiggys) in the last big closet cleaning he had a few years ago.

79Sunburst Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 His shop is now live. 35,000 for the slime green Charvel. I'd probably pay that for it if I were a gazillionaire. You could get Charvel custom shop to duplicate it for 5 grand or less. I should message Dweezil and ask if it includes Moon's panties.

For that price, she had better be in them.

dhuber Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 He's wearing a white suit on the Heartbeat video. The suit that comes with the Charvel is charcoal?

It wouldn't surprise me if Dweezil is selling one that is replicated and he is keeping the original. I saw a YouTube segment where Dweezil was listing a Strat that he said was given to his dad by Hendrix at Monterey with Norman's Rare Guitars. So many things where different like the neck was on a different body or something, I can't remember exactly. Anyway, some guy commented that it was like putting a mounting ring from a 59 Les Paul on a new one and claiming that it was vintage. Dweezil is cut off from his dad's estate and his mom or younger sister are the administrators and they have sued each other. I'm thinking he isn't the most honest guy in the world.

tommy p Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I can't believe he's letting the green Charvel go. That's THE Dweezil guitar.

79Sunburst Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Here is the video of Dweezil at NRG. They are claiming it is a part of Rock history like it is all original. Necks have been swapped, electronics changed out.
ARM OF HAMER Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 That "HENDRIX STRAT" was basically just a body when Zappa [FRANK] got it. It was given to Frank by one of Jimi's roadies. No one knows the exact date of the body or where or when the "BURNING" took place, most of the things about that guitar have been recounted by people who are no longer alive. It's certainly no where near what you could call a original Hendrix owned guitar except for the body and then who really knows as lots of false claims about the guitar[And we are just talking about a guitar body here] have been made through the years. If I would be a collector of Hendrix owned instruments and associated material I wouldn't be chasing that guitar.

I honestly have never heard him play a note, mostly because I don't care. The "Hendrix Strat" is one that I have been aware of for decades, but as has been stated many times here, we're talking about a body with no provenance, so the "value" of the guitar is only that which you could attribute to Frank having owned/played it. This is assuming it is still the same body, of course. I've stated many times that I wouldn't pay a premium for a guitar just because _____ owned it, and this has never been more true. Dweezil Zappa guitars? GTFO

bubs_42 Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 I think his wife is making him get rid of some things, because his prices reflect a guy that doesn't care if it sells or not. LOL A STOCK McCarty for $15,000?
