Greco EG-500R (pre-serial, dated to 1976 by pickup serial numbers):

NOTE: This guitar is modified to approximate the Les Paul Frank Zappa used during the late 1970s and early 1980s, on such albums as "Shut Up 'n' Play Yer Guitar". it is pictured on the cover of that album, and also, in its exact configuration I've modeled, on the cover of Guitar World (March 1982).

Greco SE-450 (serial no. G81....):

NOTE: This guitar is identical to a Fender Stratocaster that my late brother, Greg Evans (1960 - 1996) used to own. It was his very first guitar. It has the same micro-tilt neck and CBS-style "fat" headstock with bullet truss rod adjuster. I changed the pickup covers and knobs from their stock black to white to match his guitar.

Fernandes Telecaster (The TE-60 model):

Fernandes Stratocaster (The Limited Model):

NOTE: I used this guitar on recordings made with Earls Watch (1985) and Subdueds (1986).

Basses

Ibanez black Eagle Bass, Model 2609B (serial no. D77....):

Ibanez Jazz Bass, Model 2365B (no serial no.):

Kingston Bass, Custom Paint Job by Chuck (no serial no.):

NOTE: This was my main bass back in the 1970s and I recently restored it by adding two vintage Ibanez bass pickups, new electronics, the paint job, and I also hand-crafted the clear pickguard and added the little plastic lizard.
