“For a lot of the record I had just got a custom guitar from ESP, it's just got a single Seymour Duncan JB pickup and it sounds awesome.”
“I have a 1971 Marshall Super Lead that has been modified by one of our techs, John Meyer, to have an extra gain stage and more preamp tubes.”
“I've worked closely with Ernie Ball on my bass, and they've been very good to me. I've made four different custom basses with them.”
