Born in 1965
ES-120T
This guitar was gifted to me by my father. I grew up listening to this guitar as a kid and its tones have resonated with me since early childhood. I discovered it sounds especially amazing for slide tones as well as jazz.

Collings SJA Adirondack
I started playing solo acoustic shows and my cheaper model guitar wasn't getting the job done. Enter the Collings SJA which i believe is the best of both Martin and Taylor worlds. WIth this guitar i write a lot of the singer songwriter type songs like Ruined. Most of my songs start out on this guitar or a little mahogany Big Baby Taylor.

Gretsch Country Professional
My good friend Danny loaned me this guitar and i wrote the song Big Deal on it. I really enjoy the bigsby tremolo on this guitar. You have to really dig into this guitar to pull its sweet tone out.

Fender Stratocaster
I acquired this guitar in a truly unique way. A fan approached me after a performance at a Brew fest in Eugene, Oregon and told me that her husband, who had passed away, had spoken to her from the grave and said that I should play this particular guitar. She then offered it to me, and I've been using it ever since. The tone I can get from this strat is epic - it really is a magnificent instrument.

Gibson Firebird
I received this guitar as a birthday present from my uncle. It was a familiar instrument to me, as I grew up around it but couldn't play it due to it being set up for a left-handed player. Once I acquired it, I replaced the dead P90 pickup with a Gibson Script P90, which really brought out some mojo in the guitar. The original middle P90 is still in place and gives the guitar a nasty tone. It's a versatile and powerful instrument.

Apollo Dreamland by Goldman Guitars
My good Buddy Brady Goldman out of the kindness of his heart copied my 335 neck and we joined that neck shape with his dreamland body. The guitar features exotic woods, boutique pickups, and a piezo acoustic pickup makes this guitar stand out. Its a very unique axe that i love.
