And I now think that Stratocasters and Telecasters are way cool.
Mostly i write on an unplugged Mustang or a Baby Taylor.
Many kids and parents ask me, 'What kind of guitar can I buy?' It's a great opportunity for those people to be able to buy a quality guitar that's not necessarily a little Fender or whatever. Ernie Ball signature model guitar is something that's more signature.
My first guitar, a Fender Jazz Master, I traded it in for a Les Paul Deluxe.
I have too many options when it comes to guitars.
I'm a Gibson guy. I play anything from Hummingbirds to J200s.
I kept the first Rickenbacker I ever got, a little short-scale John Lennon-type model. And I've got a couple of 12-string models, which are really nice, and I've got a Pete Townshend model, which Pete gave me a few years ago. But that's about it.
I have a lot of guitars. Yeah, I'm not like a guitar collector, I don't have all vintage instruments. I don't even own a Strat or Les Paul. I don't have one.
I have tons of Telecasters but also about 50 Les Pauls, six or seven SGs, and a bunch of Gretsches.
