This was one of my best investments! Traded my PRS in for this Les Paul because the PRS basically wore out. Frets and neck were in bad shape from playing it so much. I do miss the PRS and am hoping to get one next. (it's on my wish list)

Instead of buying a dozen different pedals, I opted to get the Line6 Stompbox Modeler. It has good distortion, delay, reverb, among many other effects, and a couple different effect settings to boost your signal before it hits your amplifier. I added an expression pedal in order to mold the speed of my delay on the fly.

The hunt was on. I was in search for TONE!!! After playing about a hundred different amps, the Vox AC15 was the winner. The Vox AC30 was a close second. This all tube amp has a big sound for such a little guy.

This is a RUGGED wah pedal; it's standard gear for a guitar player if you ask me. My first Cry Baby lasted me over 10 years, and that's even after the previous owner used it for who knows how long. After the button failed, I had to get another one, and luckily they still make them exactly the same- strong, heavy casing, and long-lasting.

I've tried different brands, but always come running back to D'Addario. They give me just the right tension and feel. It is the perfect balance for playability versus tone.

Although expensive, the Monster Rock guitar cable is a good investment as long as you can hold on to your original receipt. They will replace a shorted cable for life under warranty. The company has stood behind all my replacements, not that there have been that many because the guitar cables are a good quality product. Great signal strength is also a very important quality this cable provides.

The Dunlop Totex .88 mm is the perfect combo when using 10 guage electric guitar strings. Its harder edge makes that biting pick sound when shredding. Also holds up nicely to long pick scrapes.
