Guitars & Gear
My main electric guitar is my Fender Strat you see on the home page.
It has an alder body and a maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard.
I replaced the original pickups with 3 S version EMG single coil pickups.
I also installed a presence control on th second tone knob.
I use the original 5 way switch but I installed an extra switch
To be able to have all three pickups on at once.
I play mainly thru a Mesa Boogie Mark II C
with a Celestion G-70 12 inch speaker.
I take the pre out into an old Digitech harmonizer/processor
then take the stereo output into a Hughs & Ketner Tube 50 amp.
I also use a midi pedal to access the presets on the harmonizer
So I can pull up the most common keys easily at gigs.
My mail acoustic guitar is a 1980 handmade T. Haru
It's alot like a Martin D-45, with the 3 peice back
and all of the mother of pearl inlay work.
I've been playing it for years and its a one of a kind
Since they are no longer being made.
In the Studio
I use Pro Tools with Amplitube
For lead I like a preset I call "My Big Fat Guitar"
Its a Brian May (Queen) preset that I tweeked like crazy.
