"This is a @yamahaguitardevelopment #Revstar 720B that you may have seen in some of the Facebook live videos from this tour. Beautiful to play and sounds incredible - it weighs a bit, but it sustains for days (much like an old SG1000 that I have) and has taken everything in its stride, from a nightly pummelling to vast humidity and temperature changes across a country both dry and arid, to wet and humid!"

"Right now I’m split between two main guitars. One is a Strat. I was a Les Paul guy for years, and then I kind of rediscovered the Strat more recently and I’ve found my own voice a little more on it. Before, I always felt there was some element in the back of my mind of feeling as though I was a poor imitation of Slash. But I think as soon as I stepped over to a Strat, that helped me find my own voice."
