59' reissue les paul standard

American made Telecaster

and my dad handed down to me his 1959 gibson songbird acoustic, I can't even imagine how much that thing is worth.

Not my kit but I have the same one with 14"zildjian New Beat hi hats, 22" Avedis Zildjian ride, 16" Zildjian Z Custom crash and an 18" Zildjian Z Custom crash. I also use a Yamaha 6 1/2 X 14 brass snare instead of the Pacific stock snare and a Tama Iron Cobra double pedal.

I also have a mid 90's Pearl BLX in blue Laquered finish. Real nice drums better then the Pacifics but they have been beat to crap after years of road abuse. They cost me a small fortune when I bought them new so I decided it was time to retire them before they became unplayable.

Are those "dead ringers " hangin on the wall??


I use : Jackson soloist, Gibson Les Paul DC, Fender Telecaster, and an old old Charvel that I hot rodded up.

          Run em all through a Marshall with an extra cab for the "other" side of the stage. :rock

          Only pedals I use are a Danelectro "Cool Cat" chorus and a Dunlop crybaby wah.

          For smaller rooms I will plug in my trusty old Gallien Krueger 250ml and DI it into the sound board.

Keyboards, mostly piano/organ (blues, R&R, :rock jazz), but some synth stuff(pop music).  I have many different boards but my main set-up is a Yamaha P120 piano and a Hammond XK2 into Leslie 122, (yeah baby) :cool:

I actually just today went to the local GC and checked out a Yamaha MO8, $1500 bucks, 12 month same as cash.

No I'm kind of old school with my setup. I do agree it looks cool, problem is I cant get a clean hit on the rack tom with it real flat like that. To much rim not enough skin so I have to tilt it a little bit. I also tilt my cymbals a little bit, the experts say if keep them real flat you'll crack them more often. When you strike cymbal you are supposed to hit it with a glancing blow, with them real flat the strike is more dead on.

Currently using:


Taylor 12 string Grand Auditorium Electro Acoustic
Gibson J165 6 String Cutaway

Epiphone Les Paul (not orginal pups in it, this thing sounds gorgeous)
JDB Custom - sorta Fender shaped, dual buckers - sustains forever, sounds amazing when amped up and a bit of fuzz applied
Schecter C1 Classic with the Vine of life neck inlay (not used much, as not my favourite sounding axe, but works ok for when using heavy fuzz and banging out power chords etc)

Columbus Semi Hollow (think 135 shape) - whilst not the best guitar, it plays like butter, sounds good amped etc

Other guitars I own

Takamine 12 string - plays like butter, sounds great - superseded by the Taylor
Washburn DN40 6 string acoustic - my first guitar - no pickups, beautiful sounding and one of the few keepers I have
Epiphone Masterbuilt - 6 string acoustic - nice sounding guitar, no pickups - lovely rich sounds, nice v shaped neck (prefer thicker necks, having beefer fingers etc)

and a few others that I dont much play to be honest.

Have you heard Luther Wright and the Wrongs doing "Rebuild the Wall" ?

Its their rendition of Pink Floyds "the Wall" (in its entirety) done bluegrass style, banjos mandolins etc.

Hard to find, but worth the effort.


Check them out at their My Space page.

Ever heard of a guy named Jalan Crossland? He's in Wyoming. Awesome on banjo and guitar. You really should hear him live. :rock
