My Gear

Gretsch Tennessee Rose
This is the ultimate guitar. The only guitar I've ever had a real craving for, I finally broke down and purchased it. I can honestly say that for my tastes, there is no better guitar made out there today.

Paul Reed Smith CE 22
My main solid body guitar, this PRS has a "10" rated, three piece maple top under the tobacco sunburst finish. It also has the very nice bird inlaid fret markers that have become a PRS signature.

1953 Gibson ES-125
The oldest guitar in my collection, this is also the guitar that has the most sentimental value to me. It belonged to the man that gave me my first opportuninties to play guitar in front of people. When he passed away, the family allowed me to buy it.

1989 Fender Strat w/ MIDI
This was the first real guitar I bought and was my main stage guitar until the Rickenbacker came along. The PRS eventually retired it for good. I retrofitted it with a MIDI pick-up and use it alot for sequencing at my home studio. This guitar has the greatest feeling neck in the world.

Danelectro 59-DC
This was a guitar that I won as part of Peabody winning the Duelin' Divas contest. While Danelectros are essentially cheap pieces of crap, they are, in my opinion, the absolute best sounding pieces of crap you can buy. I use it to record most of my demos for new Peabody songs.

Fender CG-25SCE
An inexpensive classical guitar with a pick-up that I used to record an instrumental Christmas album. I've always wanted to have a classical guitar for those times that I get in the mood to play that style of music.

Danelectro 6 String Bass
This is a reissue of the classic 60's model that was the original 6 string bass. Unlike today's basses, this one is tuned to guitar pitch, one octave lower. Fender later copied this design with the Fender Bass VI. Sounds incredible for the extremely low price.

Ibanez JS1000
This is Ibanez's Joe Satriani model. I really love this guitar. It has a great sound and plays as smooth as silk. This is the only guitar I have that has a floating tremolo system.

Johnson Millenium Stereo 150
My main amplifier now. This is pretty much one amp that does it all. Being a technology junkie, this is the perfect amp for me. Unfortunately, due to insufficient marketing, the Johnson amplifier company is no longer around.

Roland JC-120
Many years of service from this bad boy. Now put into semi-retirement, for studio use only.

Digitech GSP-2101
I've been with this Digitech line ever since the GSP-21 way back when we started playing live shows. Like the JC-120, this is no longer on active duty after having been replaced by the (Digitech powered) JM-150 modeling amp.
