"Did you use the Guild Artist Award hollowbody you’ve played live for years? Yes. I found it in 2000 at a shop in New Jersey. At that time I was studying with a guitar teacher named Tony Lombardozzi at Wesleyan. He told me about that particular model, and then I managed to find one, though vintage ones don’t pop up that often. I checked it out and really loved it. The guitar has a 17" body, a freakishly large headstock, and a loud, strong acoustic tone. I like having that acoustic quality, even though I play electric. It’s a well-made, beautiful instrument that sounds great, and I’ve been playing it for 15 years now."
