GUITARS - Electric
Music Man Sabre: sweetwater.sjv.io/PyaZNe In love. My Sabre has become one of my main instruments now.
Music Man Cutlass: sweetwater.sjv.io/y2r5XB Classic with great feel and flexibility.
Music Man Majesty: sweetwater.sjv.io/75b7vV Love this for recording. Perfect for modern metal guitar.
Gibson Les Paul Standard '60s: sweetwater.sjv.io/Or1J7K My main guitar for Zepparella. I have one in cherry burst and one in a limited-edition Manhattan Midnight.
Gibson Custom 1961 Les Paul SG Standard Reissue: sweetwater.sjv.io/3e73gy The first Gibson I bought. I had played a few off-the-rack SGs, but then found a 61 reissue. It hurt my wallet, but it plays and sounds amazing.
Amps - Electric
Laney Ironheart IRT-SLS 300-watt Hybrid Tube Head: sweetwater.sjv.io/Vm7nyO This fits in my checked luggage and is my go-to amp for fly-in gigs. Sounds great plugged into a cabinet (my preference), but can also go DI, which has saved me on gigs with backline issues.

Strymon TimeLine Delay: sweetwater.sjv.io/xknPMO Incredible-sounding, seemingly endless delay possibilities
Strymon Lex Rotary Speaker Simulator Pedal V2: sweetwater.sjv.io/9ge3kQ Spot on Leslie!
Xotic XW-1 Wah Pedal: sweetwater.sjv.io/5gj3rD I love this pedal so much I bought two. It is more expensive than other wahs, but worth every penny.
Strymon Ojai R30 Low-profile Guitar Pedal Power Supply: sweetwater.sjv.io/R5RXM2
AmpRX BrownBox II Tube Amplifier Input Voltage Attenuator: sweetwater.sjv.io/m5nBMZ If you love your amp…
