Tommy states "I've had this Ibanez S-Classic since I was about 16 years old. After all these years I still come back to it when I need to write heavier material. It just feels right and always has. It's been through hell (yeah, I don't clean it much or change the strings) and it's been part of a lot of important music to me. So thank you Mr. Guitar for being so rad. I just named him Mr. Guitar btw. "
