I’ve been playing guitar for 26 years. And like most guitar players, I’ve been in search of an elusive “sound” the entire time. It is what seems like an endless pursuit, and I don’t know anyone who has ever truly been able to stop. There is always another piece of gear that can get you closer, it seems.
In my own pursuit, I’ve had a bunch of gear, I’ve heard a bunch of gear, and I’ve researched even more gear. Amongst my friends and acquaintances, I’ve somehow been given a reputation as one of the guys to ask about guitar gear. I’m not even sure why, because I’ve been pretty miserably disappointed with most of my guitar sounds throughout my time. It might be because I’m good at explaining what I’ve learned.
Whatever the case, I’m going to try to put in writing what I know.

The journey is the destination
cool… i just found this page. i’m a big, old-time Prayer Chain fan. your sound on the Antarctica album was amazing, same as in the Flevo festival that used to be online. but now… PLEASE tell us about your gold-glitter Jazzmaster! i’ve drooled over that one for so long… might build a clone of it, if you don’t mind… ;)
Rock on!
