I have a Fender Custom Shop Telecaster based on a ’62. I also have a ’61 Gibson SG my girlfriend bought me. I string them with D’Addario NYXLs, gauged .010-.046. My amps are ’67 and ’68 blackface Fender Pro Reverbs. I have a Boss DM-2 Delay, a Wampler Ego Compressor, a Walrus Audio Plainsman for clean boosts, and, for overdrives, I currently use an Oddfellow Effects Caveman Drive and a Jetter Jetdrive. My tuner is a Sonic Research strobe
