My Gear
Here are some pictures of my guitars, these images are quite large, so let
them load:
1990 Rickenbacker 360. Purchased in 1998. Strung with Webstrings
.012-.052. Tuned to E. My favorite guitar. Just don't ask
me to bend any notes on the 3rd or lower strings.
1969 Gibson SG Special. Purchased in 2000. Strung with Webstrings
.011-.050. Strings aren't attached to the vibrato unit. Sounds
like the Who. It's got this thin, yet chunky neck which feels amazing.
2001 Paul Reed Smith Singlecut. Purchased in 2004, unsold previously.
I traded in 2 Mesa/Boogie amps to get this. It's now my main
axe. Some think that PRS guitars are overrated and overpriced, they
just haven't played one. A good number of them are cheaper than a Gibson
Les Paul, and sound alot nicer. The neck shape is very comfortable,
it was slightly wider than I was used to, but it was easy to get comfortable
with. This is strung with Webstrings .010-.046.
Shown beside my Singlecut is a 2002 PRS Santana SE. These are way nicer
than any other Korean guitar you'll find. I've done a little work on
mine. It's got real PRS strap buttons and the Bridge pickup is a Santana
III. I plan on putting a PRS Archtop bass pickup and a set of PRS locking
tuners on there. As for the body construction itself--top notch all
the way. The neck shape feels just like the wide/fat neck of the Singlecut.
This too is strung with Webstrings .010-.046.
