| Guitars |
| -Ibanez RG-7620- My main player since 2001. Basswood body, rosewood fretboard, Ibanez Edge Lo-Pro trem, Dimarzio Air Norton and Tone Zone 7-string pickups. |
| -Fender American Standard Stratocaster- My first "serious" guitar. Alder body, maple fretboard, Gold Lace Sensor pickups, graphite saddles and nut. |
| -Martin MC-16GTE- Spruce top, mahogany body, Fishman Prefix preamp. A recent aquisition, and one I'm not entirely sure how I did without for so long. |
| (Not shown- Fender Squier 5-string P-bass) |
 |
| Amps |
| -Mesa/Boogie Nomad 45 2x12- 45-watt EL84-powered three channel all tube combo. two modes per channel, footswitchable variable master solo boost, and two distinct poweramp modes ("normal" and "extreme") make this thing stupidly flexible. |
| (not shown- Johnson J-Station modeling preamp. For late night demo sessions and sound effect overdubs, mostly, but a suprisingly organic sounding alternative to Line6; this was the main tone source for "Seven.") |

| -Marshall TSL-100 head and Mesa/Boogie Rectifier 2x12 cab- all-tube 100-watt three channel EL-34-powered head and oversized 2x12 Celestion Vintage 30-powered cabinet. My main gigging rig with The Sheldon Six and The Tom Corrigan Band in the spring through fall of 2003. |
| -Ibanez RG-2027x- Mahogany bodied peizo-equipped 7-string. Purchased midway through recording "Seven," and used on a few tracks, most notably "Acid Blue (Slight Return)," with the original Tone Zone 7 in the bridge for the rhythm tracks, and an Evolution-7 in the bridge for the lead. I still miss this guitar's neck. |
