...I use a Gibson 335 I bought in London in 2005. It's a 1966 model. Antique Sunburst. A Parker Fly DeLuxe I got in 1996. A 1982 Tokai. Sunburst with a maple neck and Lindy Fralin pickups. (Mr. Fralin has, in my mind achieved the impossible, re-creating the sound of early Fender pickups. They are amazing. I don't know how he did it. And I have been a 'vintage' Fender player all my life and I know that sound. I also have a JR (Japanese Reissue) Telecaster. The body is aged cream bound sunburst with a 1972 Fender Telecaster maple neck. Again, I have Lindy Fralin pickups installed in it. I also have a Hohner solid bodied classical style nylon electro / acoustic which spends most of it's life in it's case. My amps are a Fender Blues Deluxe and my favourite, A Fender Blues Junior. It's small and sounds good. I don't really go in for effects except for an overdrive and a volume pedal and maybe Tremolo sometimes...I recently acquired a tube overdrive...A BK Butler Tube Driver with a 'bias' control. It is handbuilt by BK Butler himself in his workshop in Denver, Colorado. It is the best tube drive I have ever used and I have used them all. He has built them for Eric Johnson and Joe Satriani.
