My electric set-up includes my old custom strat. I have used this guitar for way over 20 years. It is very lightweight and perfectly balanced. It has a refined slim neck. It has two humbuckers that could warm up Alaska with their tones! Very sweet! I have also been using my American made Telecaster daily. This year I switched to this two channel Marshall that actually sounds good as a clean amp. It also has a great classic blues rock sound and a killer thick modern type sound when needed.
Now, my Earcandy cabs! I can't say enough about the tone, the weight, and the dispersion of these cabs. They fill a huge stage with great sounds even at outdoor wine festivals with large audiences. www.earcandycabs.com
My archtop guitar is a hand made, hand carved, tap tuned Knisely archtop. It has a 17 inch body width with a 2 3/4 inch rim. The top is solid spruce with a German maple rim, back, and neck. It has all hand carved ebony parts. The pickup is a floating Kent Armstrong humbucker. The guitar sounds wonderful acoustically and electrified. It plays fantastic. It was built by Jim Knisely and Aaron Cowles. Jim met Bob Benedetto and used Bob's book and video series as a guide. He also spent some time working with Tom Ribbecke in California. Aaron did the lacquer finish. Aaron worked at Gibson doing just about everything there for 25 years. The two of them together turned out an unreal guitar for me, that's for sure!
My amp is the new Jazz amp by Henriksen Amps. A wonderful sounding amp with great tone controls. It is super portable. A very pure, clean, and warm sounding jazz amp. It has plenty of power and tone for any type of show! I am really geeked over it! www.jazzamp.com
