My Gear
Electric Guitars:
Creston "Old Pine" Custom
From the Creston Guitars site:
A white pine guitar for Samuel Barker, good fellow from Texas. 1850's barn beam milled into a solid slab, loaded up with Lollar pickups (LEA-90 II bridge, 1950's-wind neck), trusty rusty knobs, a toploader bridge, and staggered tuners. 1-pc maple neck.
1979 Peavey T-60
I found this old thing in a pawn shop over in Dayton. I was driving to a cousin's wedding and decided to hit the backroad pawn shops on the way from Houston to Beaumont off of highway 90. I found this guitar, beat to hell and covered in grime, but at a good price. The wife was kind enough to pick it up for me as a birthday present. I'll always have a soft spot for T-60s.
Acoustic Guitars:
Taylor Big Baby
I originally bought myself a Martin DXM Electric/Acoustic, but I turned out to be allergic to the woods in the neck. After I paid my co-pays, meds and all that, I had enough left to pick up this Taylor Big Baby. Initially, I was bummed it wasn't a Martin, but this thing is durable (survived having my kids power bomb each other on top it with some help from Gorilla Glue) and punchy as hell. It's been by my side for close to a decade now. It's normally tuned to D-standard these days.
Bass Guitars:
Gretsch Electromatic Junior Jet Bass
I had just been through a house fire and only had my wife's J-bass that had a smoked headstock and some sprouted frets, so I took $250 and headed down to Guitar Center. For the money (and probably a few bucks more), this thing brought it. If you want the low-end thump, this SHORT-SCALE bass has it. I wasn't expecting it to be so smooth, but the TV Jones pickup does the job nicely. The action is high on it to keep from getting fret-taps when playing with my fingers.
