Epiphone G-1275 Double Neck
This heavy beast sports a mahogany body and necks, rosewood fingerboards, covered humbuckers on the twelve string neck and hotter, uncovered humbuckers on the six string neck. Alpine white finish. Did I mention that it is really heavy?

 

 

Fender Jimmie Vaughan Tex Mex Strat
This puppy has an alder body, a one piece maple neck, and is in Olympic white. Rob at Guitar electronics put a Seymour Duncan ‘59 humbucker in the bridge, and a black pickguard for that Hentor look.

 

 

Epiphone Sheraton II
This fiddle sings like a bird (and can feed back like a banshee if I’m not careful!). Its arched top is maple, as is the back, sides, and neck. It has a rosewood fingerboard. I think they called this one a pearl white. Rob at Guitar Electronics put a pair of Seymour Duncan ’59 humbuckers in it, because the originals were a bit muddy for my tastes. Since I prefer a single volume and tone, he rewired it thusly and put a series/parallel switch for each pickup in the left over holes.

EFFECTS AND AMPS

Mxr, boss, and Dunlop pedals (Those tap dancing lessons finally paid off). Here's the chain after the guitar:

Dunlop Crybaby Wah - This is actually a "Mr. Crybaby Super" volume wah, which I've become completely reliant on. I don't know how I'd do the intro to Xanadu without it.

MXR Phase 90 (An older model, before they had indicator lights & ac adaptor jacks) I use this for many classics from Fly By Night, Caress Of Steel, and 2112

Boss Tuner We tune because we care!

Boss Blues Driver - Great for a kick to the tubes for leads. It makes the amp go to "11." Keith Entringer modded this for me, opening up the high midrange frequencies.

Liquid Lerxst Chorus pedal custom made for me by Keith Entringer.

Boss Flanger - What's The Spirit Of Radio and Freewill without a flanger?

Boss Delay - This particular piece is a DD-5, which has an input for a control pedal to tap the tempo. It has a stereo output that ping pongs the signal between two amps.

Mesa DC-5 - I love this amp! Versatile, loud, and warm. Clean channel is sparkly clean, and the dirty channel sings.

Marshall JMP - This is actually Spageddy's amp (Yes, he shreds). An early 70's workhorse.
