PAUL REED SMITH
1990 Custom 24 Vintage Sunburst 10 top - my gig workhorse - crunchy - a great year
GUILD
1994 JF55-12E - sort of my trademark on records - Guild and Taylor build the best acoustic 12's ever.......and Ralph Towner is a hero of mine.
MARTIN
1964 0-16NY with Sunrise pick-up - a real "chick" guitar....and Ian Anderson
1970 D-28 with Sunrise pick-up - had since '72 - she don't do Brazilians
FENDER
1963 Jaguar - my first electric guitar - it traded it and then found it again by luck in the want ads several years later!

2002 62 Tele Custom reissue - turqoise - spanky.
AMPS
1995 and 1998 Matchless Chieftain 2x12 combos - Black like my coffee. Sampson is king! one for the US and one for the UK...cuz it weighs a ton.
1965 Fender Vibrochamp - my first amp bought with the Jaguar at Angelo's House of Music San Francisco in 1966.
1965 Vox AC-4 - good little banger.....
1989 Mesa Boogie .22 Calibre - stupid move, I traded two echoplexes and a vintage Fender reverb for this. I needed a small amp and didn't have any money.
1963 Fender Bandmaster piggyback - blonde. Always wanted one....
1970's Vox Escort busker and Vox Stage 50. Good if my back is sore or lend to friends
1974 Hiwatt Custom 100 stack with EV SROs - Loud as F**k.....fights crime, cures cancer....I wonder if those days will ever come back.
STRINGS
D'Addario 10-46s for most electrics, 11-52 for acoustics
PICKS
Bakersfield blacks and whites depending on ambient temperature
PEDALS
Lots lying around but mainly Vox Wah V846, Rat II, Boss Delay, Ernie Ball Volume pedal

Hi John - The Stringmaster is three 8 string steel necks, no pedals. I ordered it through Gelb Music in Redwood City CA from Fender special and had to wait a while as I wanted it in black.....I think they only made them in blonde and walnut.

Howard - she's WAY into Keith Urban...a girl's gotta have a hobby. I reap the benefits.
There is no Golden ticket....it's about the work.
