Claudio Sanchez

That’s pretty much it. I’ll run through an effects pedal board, but I’m not really even using a whole lot there ? just a few delay pedals. There’s an Ibanez analog delay AD9, Line 6 delay modeler and a Bad Horsie Wah, that’s pretty much it. It’s not a massive pedal board. Basically I just rely on the guitar, the tone and the amps.

Claudio has a sg special in his collection. He played it live in the early days of coheed until the headstock snapped. At the time he didn’t know that was reparable. He lost track of the guitar over the years, and it was possibly stolen when his house was vandalized. Afew years later he saw the guitar on social media. He knew it was his because of the Puerto Rican flag sticker, chipped paint, and repaired headstock. He traded to get the guitar back while in Chicago on tour
