Details & History
Avon SG copy
My first guitar, as old as me. My mate painted it up for me and the
back is signed by my old mates at school. It has recently been fitted
with a Seymour Duncan JB pickup to give it a bit of warmth.
Jem7BSB
My first Jem, this one is a 98 model and is my favourite live guitar.
Its been thrown around, set on fire, you name it, but it still remains
a mighty fine Jem, a real smooth sound and a great compromise of a neck.
Jem77FP
This my latest addition is a 97 model and is in pristine condition. Has
always visually been my favourite Jem and I love the sound of the pick
ups, a real raw tone to it.
Jem2KDNA
Number 218/300, the pride of the collection. Not much played these
days, the neck is almost not there, its so thin. The pick ups also
sound a bit more harsh than the BSB. I don't fancy getting a knock with
this axe. Imagine the repair bill???
Fender Stratocaster.
A 2003 model, its an American standard. After seeing videos of Hendrix
and Vaughan, realised that tone only comes from a Strat. The Jem gets
half way there but this is a real beaut. As I hope to be still playing
in my 80s I cant see me there with a Jem?!!
Gibson Les Paul Standard.
A 2002 model, again, after growing up with Pageand recently, Zack, when
I saw the colour of this and heard the tone, well!! I've always got this
guitar, wherever I play.
Yamaha LLX 400
My only acoustic guitar, this Yamaha sounds perfect plugged in with its
own small boom mike inside the box and a piezo pick up. It has a
mahogany side and neck with an ebony finger board so the action is also
very low.
