"Gales’ No. 1 is this Sonnet Raw Dawg II signature model by Magneto Guitars. This S-style axe features a hard-rock maple neck, East Indian rosewood fretboard with an 11" radius, medium C-shape neck, 22 narrow jumbo frets, and Lollar Blackface pickups."

"I use the same gear in the studio and onstage. My main guitars are a St. Blues Blindsider loaded with standard Seymour Duncan single-coils, a ’62 Strat with the same Duncans, and my signature Magneto Sonnet Raw Dawg, which has three Lollar Vintage Blackface pickups and a slightly smoother sound. I also just got a Magneto Velvet, and although humbuckers are not usually my thing, the special Dave Stephens pickups they put in it sound great pushing my signature Two-Rock amp."
