• A Nice Find!

  March 2, 2009

  A quick net search of my area turned up a gem of an amp from a great local dealer, The GrinningElk Music Company, they had a Marshall JCM800 in excellent condition, its now sitting in my studio! I was also able to track down locally an equally nice 1960A 4x12 cab in near new condition as well, another Marshall bewt now in my possession! Pics and details can be found on my gear page.

  I have a new song up entitled "Honor." Though I'll never be confused with the sappy type, I've dedicated this track to a late friend of mine for nearly 20 yrs, Jimmy. Please visit the music page for a clip and more details.

• New Acoustic

  January 4, 2009

  I finally got around to adding a decent new acoustic guitar, which I mostly needed for strumming duties within mixes. I went with a Martin DM as it seemed to have more of the tone and playability I was after. The specs can be found on my Gear page.
