Good morning!

Good morning, everyone. How are you? Taking a little time off from mixing and going through old songs to write some new ones. I’m finally getting a chance to use the horse breaker in my studio. This really is a very cool pedal. Today’s signal chain is my 73 Strat re-issue into a GE-7. From there, it goes into the horse breaker and then a surf and turf. For amps I’m using a AC 30 into a vintage marshal 2 x 12 cabinet. This is mic’d with a WA 19 microphone into an Apollo interface. Definitely a very cool sound. I hope you all have a great day!

Good morning, everyone. How are you? We had a storm roll through here last night. Lightning hit a few places. Luckily no one was hurt. Enjoy the day, all!

Good afternoon, everyone. How are you? For today’s installment of guitars in my studio we have a H-150 in oxblood. These are cool. The original company, from what I understand, was started by ex Gibson employees when they moved from Kalamazoo to Nashville. The employees took over the old Gibson factory and started the Heritage Guitar company. Definitely guitars worth checking out. Have a great day everyone!

Good afternoon, everyone. How are you? Here is today’s installment of guitar’s in my studio. Here we have a Musicman Steve Morse signature guitar. I’ve been a fan of Steve Morse’s playing since I was a teen. I’ve listened to every single Dixie Dregs album over and over and attempted learning his parts. I was also lucky enough to open for him back in 84–85. Definitely one of the highlights of my career.

Good morning, everyone. How are you? For today’s installment of guitars in my studio we have a 2021 fender Stratocaster Ultra. I’m always looking for new and interesting guitars to record with & this one caught my eye. It didn’t cost an arm and a leg and the original owner had swapped out the noiseless pick ups for Texas specials. The original pick guard & original pickups came with it. Time for me to get back to going through some old music. I hope you all have a great day!

Good morning, everyone. How are you? In today’s installment of guitars in my studio, we have a Hofner Beatle Bass. Very cool and unique instrument. This one has the huge 50s neck on it. The Bass has a very unique tone and feel. I’ve used this on quite a few recordings. Enjoy the day, everyone.✌️🤘

Good morning, everyone. How are you? For today’s installment of guitars in my studio, here we have a DM. After not having acoustics for so long, I thought let me pick one up and I’ve always wanted a Martin. When I was younger, a guy that I jammed with had a beautiful Martin. Since then I’ve always wanted one, but since I wasn’t doing a lot of acoustic work it didn’t seem important enough to get one. Since picking one up, I understand. I hope that you all have a great day.
