Forget Zappa. He played something like a 25 yr old Super 400 Gibson through a GUILD amp!! TAKE YOUR TIME! At this point,FOR YOU, with $$,look into a PRE '67 Gibson 345,STOP tail piece. You will be able to ROCK, or play Jazz. Very versatile ax. You won't find ANYTHING in the 3-500 $ range that's any good. And DON'T buy a NEW Gibson!! They are living off their reputation. It's MUCH easier to tell you what NOT to buy. The best guitar for the money, THAT I KNOW OF, is McInturff. But that will set you back about $1100. GOOD HUNTING.
