"I’ve decided on Framus as my main guitars for DTP. They’re a German company and they also do Warwick basses.

"They’re sort of throwback-looking guitars with lights and things like that to bring them into the modern world. A 335-like shape [Mayfield] or big Les Paul kind of shape [1974]. They’re all sort of customised to what I’m looking for.

"I have so many different styles of music with different touring bands. DTP being the primary one. I use different guitars for different applications. For example, if I’m doing the Casualties Of Cool stuff I work with the Fender or Hansen, but Framus is just incredible stuff. I love it, I really do."
