Frank Zappa mainly used a Gibson SG (often a red one), or a least was famous for his SG playing, he did use multiple Guitars, example: in the Video version of "does Humour belong in Music" he (and occasionally Ike Willis) used a fender telecaster, however in "the Torture Never stops" video he used a les Paul, and again has a les Paul on the cover for "shut up and play yer guitar" (the box set edition with all three shut up and play yer guitars, not the single album).
Frank Zappa's first TV appearance was on the Steve Allen Show in 1963.
No he is not. Frank Zappa's father is Francis Vincent Zappa, Sr. Urban legend says that Mr. Green Jeans, a regular on Captain Kangaroo was Frank Zappa's father. That is not true!!! While numerous people have answered this question, and Frank Zappa himself addressed the topic years ago, claiming that Mr. Green Jeans was NOT his father, the fact is we simply do not know with whom Frank Zappa's mother was sleeping. Without exhuming Hugh Brannum's and Frank Zappa's bodies and performing DNA tests, this question will never be definitively answered. In my opinion, there is far too much denial for there not to be something more to this story. And let's face it: as much as we loved Frank Zappa, he simply was not that reliable and we should not automatically assume that Mr. Brannum is not his father. Think about it. It would have been embarrassing to have Mr. Green Jeans as your father if you were as wild and crazy as Frank Zappa. Also, we cannot deny the fact that the cast of Captain Kangaroo enjoyed smoking pot, as did Frank Zappa. So, while Francis Vincent Zappa, Sr. was undoubtedly Frank Zappa's legal father, we simply do not have anything that proves he was his biological father.

Frank Zappa never actually took an IQ test, but one can only imagine that it was very high. My IQ is 126, which is considered above average, and I don't have no special qualities to me. I would consider Zappa a genius.
