Guitars

I’ve been using a Fender Highway 1 Strat with custom ’69 pickups and Sperzel tuning keys. Occasionally I’ll play a Jeff Beck or a Clapton model, all strung with Dean Markley Strings. The gauges are 11, 14, 18P, 28, 38.50. I also use a Guild BluesBird (right) when I need the sound of humbucking pickups. Also strung with Dean Markley 11’s.

New Equipment

I just received a Guild Starfire IV Guitar (right) and a G-DEC (Guitar Digital Entertainment Center) from my friends at Fender. They are both awesome!

Amps

I’ve been using this setup for quite a few years and I'm still happy with it. A 2-12 Fender DeVille and Fender Bassman reissue (4-10s). Also,on my Hendrix tributes I use a Marshall DSL head with a Marshall 2-12 or 4-12 cabinet. I recently started using a Fender Vibroverb and it sounds great!

Boss Pedal Board

Pedal Board

I’m using the new Boss pedal board with the following effects.

Vox Wah
Dyna Comp Compressor
Rat Pedal
Boss Vibrato
Boss Delay
Loop Station (set for reverse)
Tuner

The signal is sometimes split with a TC Electronics Stereo Chorus (that is not on),or a delay unit with stereo outs.

Without these guys, I’d be in trouble!
