My Guitars


	1972 Martin D-35 - I picked it up about 10 years ago when I 
	traded away my 1985 Gibson 335 Tobacco Sunburst. (Wish I still
	had it.) When I got the Martin the top was badly damaged by neglect
	and thanks to the Martin Company they replaced the top under warranty 
	I only had to pay for shipping and a new fret job.


	1989 Silver Fender Strat with EMG pickups.  This guitar really has a great sound.
	Its silver and for rock and blues you can't beat the tone.
	It's one made in Japan but for as little as I get out and play it great.




  This is my main guitar for playing at church.  I replaced the passave EMG pickups
  And put in active pickups. It has a great tone and easy to play.

 

 This is my new sweetheart a 1977 ES-335 with Seth Lover pickups.  I put some
 nice D'Addario EXL-120's on it and it plays like a dream.  The bottom end response
 really is nice.  And with a little distortion, I can even dream I am Larry Carlton.
  
  I also have a silvertone steel guitar. I have never played it the pickups
	on it don't work, it makes a great wall hanging.

	
  My Amp collection is:

	

	I am very pleased with my Mesa Boogie Mark III, which I got in the 
	Mid-80's. It's has a big sound in a very small box.  In 1991 it had
	a short and I took it to a local music store to fix it but it never had the zing
	that it did new so I was sad it's voice was gone.  Two years ago I sent it back 
	to Mesa Boogie in California and they brought it back to life.  
	Now I remember why I paid what I did for it.



  I have a old Peavey Classic Fifty 2x12 amp that I use for practicing at the house it does
  a good job for playing the blues. 

My other stuff:

	I highly recommend the T.C. Electronic Stereo Chorus. It costs lots of bucks 
	but it beats BOSS hands down.



	I just bought for Christmas the new POD from Line-6 it is now
	the main device I play on stage with my Strat and ES-335.



	I also have an Adreena Lynn effect that has really good drum sounds
	built into it.  I us it for practicing.  

I also have a Lexicon ReFlex I use from time to time but it stays on the 
	recording equipment.
