Frank Zappa's Guitars and Gear: Interviewing expert Mick Ekers, the official Gearmeister!

In this video I interview author Mick Ekers about ZAPPA GEAR, his detailed and amazing book cataloguing all of the guitars, amplifiers, effects, keyboards, and studio equipment that Frank Zappa used to create his music. If you love musical equipment or if you are are a fan of Frank Zappa I HIGHLY recommend purchasing this book. Please consider using the following url: https://amzn.to/3v66fdT The link to purchase Zappa Gear is an Amazon Affiliate link. That link helps me earn a very small commission and that money helps me make more videos like this one. It doesn't cost you anything extra. That said, I always recommend people check prices everywhere to ensure you get the best deal and please buy local to support small independent stores when possible.
