My Gear
Posted: Mon Nov 04, 2024 7:39 pm
Here's my current gear along with some stuff I used to own over the years.
1991 Gibson Les Paul Standard - The previous owner was going through hard times after shutting down his music store and had to sell off his personal gear so I got a good deal despite the circumstances. This was my dream guitar as a teenager when I started learning to play on a cheap Epiphone LP which was also in ebony like this one. I love it.
1999 G&L Invader - It originally had a black and red swirl finish but the previous owner sanded it off because it somehow affected the tone. I thought about re-painting it but I decided to keep the swamp ash look. I'm still looking for a G&L Rampage but all I can find are the cheap, shitty, Korean-made Jerry Cantrell signature models.
Pedals - This should be enough to play music.
Mesa Lonestar - After years of playing solid state amps I finally got a proper tube amp.
2000 Gibson Les Paul Standard - This was a nice guitar, but I had to sell it unfortunately. I've always liked tobacco burst LPs.
2008(?) Ernie Ball Music Man Axis - I'm not a fan of Eddie Van Halen so I didn't know much about these particular models. I saw a video of Jerry Cantrell playing a blue one and I thought it looked cool so I spent 2 years checking local ads until I found one in red for a decent price. It felt weird playing it at first due to its short scale but I figured I would eventually get used to it so I bought it. After I got my '91 LP I wasn't playing the Music Man as much so I sold it.
Dr. Z Z-Best 2X12 cab w/ Orange Dual Terror amp - Great cab, OK amp. I wanted to downsize to a combo amp later on so I sold them.
Orange Crush Pro 60 w/ Korg AX3000G pedalboard - Found this amp in a local ad after my old Fender amp died, it was alright. The pedalboard I bought from someone in high school until I decided to build my own many years later.
That's about it.
