      It's too bad that Frank did not live long enough to see Dweezil become the guitarist he is today, although Dweezil has been very good for a very long time. He would be great in one of Zappa's bands. His ZappaPlaysZappa/Dweezil Play Whatever the Fuck He Wants tours were all terrific. Hope they start up again soon.

      ​@@alexcoronayou are correct sir. He taught Dweezil how to play Runnin' With the Devil for a school talent show. He also gave him a guitar right after which Dweezil used for the talent show. Which guitar he gave him escapes me at the moment but you can easily look the story up.

      Maybe only the body of the guitar made it to the casket and the neck was repurposed for this guitar? Apparently Eddie didn't dig the bumblebee guitar and that's why it wasn't seen after 1979, but this guitar came to life shortly after so.. the timeline matches
