Some of the gear I play
GUITARS
My main guitar is a ‘partscaster’ made from a Mighty Mite soft V profile neck and a Fender Standard Stratocaster body, which started out as Candy Apple Red, but a previous owner sanded off most of the finish – leaving bits behind and I picked it up for a great price. There is a Fender CS 69 pickup in the neck location, a DiMarzzio Red Velvet in the middle and a DiMarzzio Area 61 in the bridge position.
Other guitars include:
Fender Jimmy Vaughan Signature Stratocaster
Fender Standard Stratocaster neck on a Guitar Fetish body in black with “vintage style hand wound pickups”
Epiphone Les Paul Standard – currently tuned in open D for slide guitar
Ibanez AS53 semi hollow body guitar
Taylor 214ce acoustic guitar
Partscaster Tele style guitar with Mighty Mite soft V neck and Guitar Fetish body, Gibson style mini humbuck in the neck position and a Fender Vintage bridge pickup
Vintage Aria semi-hollowbody guitar
Nylon string/classical (cheap) guitar
AMPS
My main amp is a Rivera Knucklehead K-Tre Reverb 55 watt combo
I also have a Traynor YGL2 30 watt combo
For backup I have a Traynor Quarterhorse amp in stomp box form
