MODEL: rickenbacker 360 YEAR: 1966 MODIFICATIONS: none. NOTES: vintage. vintage. vintage. LOVE. words cannot explain this guitar.

MODEL: custom american fender stratocaster YEAR: 1990 MODIFICATIONS: replaced all three OEM single coil pickups with kinman hx series noiseless single coils. custom 2-way kill switch below neck cut-away. allows signal to be killed at the source. "floating" tremlo bridge inverted output jack. *NEW* Switched traditional fender stratocaster wiring with some brand new blender wiring. allows tone control over all three pickups, individually. NOTES: first guitar i ever bought with my own money. all modifications i did myself. this guitar has gone through two necks as a result of being thrown. it took three solid hits to get this guitar through the head of a floor tom. has a very deep sound with much better mid-range bite. not a solist guitar at all. low action. 12-13 guage strings.

MODEL: american vintage 62 fender jazzmaster YEAR: 2002 MODIFICATIONS: none. NOTES: most money i have ever spent on a guitar. great action, floating tremlo with tremlo lock. you can play country or death metal on this thing. 10 guage strings always.

MODEL: squier fender jagmaster YEAR: 2002 MODIFICATIONS: replaced OEM humbucker pickups with seymour duncan 59' humbuckers. all internal electronics replaced (including wiring, pods, and switch). deepend the slots in the nut to lower the action on 1-4th frets. 10 or 11 guage srings. NOTES: this is NOT the c(k)urt cobain JAGSTANG, those are shite. the jagmaster got an original limited run of two years and are almost impossiable to find. the squier's aren't that much easier to find, but albet, a bit cheaper. the first thing i did was rip out all the electronics and put it back together with good shit. basically this thing is a blend of a jaguar, a jazzmaster, two humbuckers, a floating tremlo system and a simple tone circut. this is by far the brightest guitar i own. the frequency you get out of this thing is amazing. it's usually my guitar of choice.

MODEL: fender custom telecaster YEAR: 2006 MODIFICATIONS: replaced stock pickups with two seymour duncan SH-55 seth lover humbuckers, heavy grade wiring and insultation. NOTES: this telecaster custom is a hybrid of two popular telecaster© designs. fusing a ’72 tele custom with a tele deluxe. overall, the best squire i have ever played. the sound is impossiable to describe.

MODEL: japanese fender aerodyne telecaster YEAR: 2004 MODIFICATIONS: none. NOTES: it may be a "cheaper" japanese model, but it does what i need it too.

MODEL: kramer striker 200st YEAR: 80 something MODIFICATIONS: replaced bridge with a floyd rose floating tremlo. replaced OEM humbuckers with Fender POS humbuckers. NOTES: i bought this for $10. it's a POS throw about that makes interesting sounds when feeding back. currently i have set the humbuckers so that the polarity is reversed causing all kinds of chaos when using both pickups at the same time. eventually i will turn this into something more, but i have my eye on other things for now. it plays like shit.

MODEL: alvarez regent YEAR:1996 MODIFICATIONS: replaced tuning pegs. filed nut way down. NOTES: bought this as a replacement for my takamine ean60c, albeit a suposed temporary one. after some mods i fell in love with it. it sounds like an acoustic guitar and has lots of resonance harmonics. i won't EVEN go above a 10 guage string on this.

MODEL: epiphone surf bass YEAR:1967 MODIFICATIONS: none. NOTES: found this at a pawn shop for $75, turns out it's worth quite a bit more than that. everything on this thing is straight from 1967. it sounds great and just needs a little tune up. i'm not a bass player, but i love to play around on this thing. for once it was I that fucked the pawn shop!

Amplifiers

MODEL: VOX AC30 CC2X YEAR:2005 MODIFICATIONS: none. NOTES: ahhhhh the VOX, the amp made famous by the beatles. this is a 2x12 combo with Celestion AlNiCo "Blue" speakers. this is by far the best amp i own. i play through this amp more than anything.

MODEL:Fender Twin Reverb YEAR:1996 MODIFICATIONS: none. NOTES: all i can say is... play through it. just once. you'll see.

Effects

MODEL:Custom Hamptone Pre-Amp NOTES: built by james & robin. the best pre-amp i have ever used.

MODEL:Electro Harmonix Big Muff NOTES: my one and only fuzz pedal. by far the best out there in my opinion.

MODEL:ProCo Turbo Rat NOTES: i use this alot alongside the Big Muff and on occasion by itself for thick distortion.

MODEL:Custom BOSS DD6 NOTES: this pedal is no longer in it's original case as james and myself have modified it to the point where we couldn't fit all the componets inside the original casing. now it is a rack-mount unit. the delay time is controlled on the fly by the use of an expression pedal. it also has hardwired pre-set's.

MODEL:DigiTech Whammy NOTES: love this pedal. to this day i don't know why DigiTech stopped making the unit.

MODEL:BOSS DS-1 Distortion NOTES: N/A.

MODEL:Electro Harmonix Small Stone Phaser NOTES: probably one of the most recorded phasers of all time.

MODEL:Vintage Morley Volume Pedal NOTES: best.volume.pedal.ever.

MODEL:Lovetone Meatball NOTES: N/A

MODEL:EBow NOTES: the EBow is a hand-held electronic bow for guitar.
