1999 U.S. Masters Vector Versatek
D’Addario XL120+
.0095 .0115 .016 .024 .034 .044


I simply love this guitar! It just keeps getting better. Brilliantly designed and expertly built in Wisconsin, USA.

1984 Electra Westone Dynasty XV-2
D’Addario XL120
.009 .011 .016 .024 .032 .042


Ahhh, the 80's...yes. But actually, this is a very playable guitar capable of a wide range of sounds, between the pickup selector and the many coil-tap options. It has some upgraded parts, but still has the stock pickups.

1980 Kramer XKG-10
GHS Progressives
.009 .011 .016 .024 .032 .046


This guitar is used as a controller for my MIDI setup, but also has a great straight guitar tone. And an aluminum neck and ebonol fingerboard.

1999 Yamaha AEX-500N
Thomastik-Infeld Rope Core
.016 .024 .025 .023 .031 .039


An interesting acoustic/electric nylon-stringed instrument, made more interesting with the above strings, which allow for deep detuning.

1981 Gremlin ¾ size acoustic
Thomastik-Infeld Rope Core
.016 .024 .025 .023 .031 .039


My first guitar, and I still play it. Splatterpaint!

1987 Harmony ¼ size acoustic
D’Addario Strings
gauges highly variable


Everyone needs an experimental mini-guitar/coloring book.

amplifiers/cabinets

Tubeworks MosValve MV-962 – great for focused amplification with a tube feel.
Roland VGA-7 – 13-pin guitar and amplifier/cabinet modeling.
Vox VT40+
Marshall 1922 2x12
Handmade 1x15


my favorite pedals



hardware synthesizers

Casio CA-110, Kawai X65-D – inexpensive, outdated models no one thinks about – sometimes the best kind for coaxing beautiful sounds.

Waldorf Micro Q (rack module) – an amazing module capable of creating just about anything, from scratch or randomly.


all hail the µQ
