EQUIPMENT
2 Fender Strats (Custom Shop '56 and American with humbuckers) are my primary gear, played through a Mesa Lonestar Boogie. I also occassionally play my Les Paul American standard, and a Paul Reed Smith, and a number of additional amplifiers to use including a Fender Reverb, and a wide variety of high quality effects i've accumulated over the years to color things as appropriate... but most importantly is getting a full natural dynamic sound and I'm very comfortable plugging a guitar directly into an amplifier and playing.
