an electric guitar sitting on top of a rug
My #1 guitar since I was a youngster. Trudy, a '96 American strat with a '97 neck. She started out as a Strat Plus but lots of changes have taken place since then. I have a block of mahogany wedged in between the tremstock and the body to lock down the bridge. I have DiMarzio area pickups to eliminate the usual 60 cycle hum. They work really well for touring. I usually play a lot of old theaters on the road and you never know what type of wiring and lighting noise you'll run into.

I'll admit that the overdrive channel is worthless but with a couple of mods, a really great classic fender sound is easily obtained from these amps. Didn't last long in production but you can find them at great prices. Great stock speakers.

Betty-Lou. My first "real" guitar. A '94 Mexican strat that I got on my 14th birthday. Just recently put a new neck,locking tuners, Lollar Blackface pickups and a new tremstock in.this guitar will take a beating!

I have a few of these Mooer pedals. This is a cool reverb that doesn't have a huge footprint. Easy to dial in and great for traveling if you have to downsize your normal rig.

Brad Jetter is a tone guru and builds great pedals. This is one I got from him a few years ago and use it a lot on sessions. Not sure if it's still in production but I'm sure you can find one..and you should :)
two pedals are stacked on top of each other in front of a sign that says digital delay
I always have a boss delay as a backup to the line 6 on my pedalboard. The only reason I don't use the boss all the time is because I like the presets option on the line 6.
a blue and black guitar pedal sitting on top of a table
I could do just about any gig with a BD-2. Every guitar player should have one. Easy to dial in and is friendly with every pickup configuration I've tried with it. A staple.

Another pedal I got from tone maestro, Brad Jetter. I remember sitting in his shop playing through this pedal as he changed out components to better suit my playing. Again, not sure if this model is still in production but anything he is making is a tone machine. I love Brads work.
a close up of an electronic device with the words carl martin compressor limiter on it
I don't think they make this compressor anymore but I'll never get rid of this one anyway.this one doesn't load up your pick attack like most compressors do and your tone doesn't suffer for having it in line. My 2nd favorite compressor that I've used. There have been many.
an old amp sitting on the floor next to a wall
A surprisingly fun little amp. Very "Fendery" to be solid state. I would compare it to a peavey bandit. A "break in case of emergency" amp but definitely fun to practice with.

Aside from some sessions, I've played this Albert Lee signature model Ernie Ball exclusively since I purchased it. I can't express what a joy to play this guitar is. The tremolo stays in tune, it plays like a dream and intonates exceptionally well.
