Gary Holt's Guitars
In this old picture, Gary can be seen here playing on a Yamaha SBG 1300 TS. According to 2021 guitar.com interview, Holt reveals that the guitar was used on Exodus 2021 record, "Persona Non Grata".
Prescribing Horror specialises in looming arpeggios à la Slayer’s South Of Heaven, while Lunatic Liar Lord even gets a smooth bluegrass lick. So, essentially, Persona… is a tick list of metal guitar trickery, which Holt largely fulfils with a 1980 Yamaha SBG-3000. “It’s one of the greatest guitars ever made,” he says. “I usually don’t track on fixed-bridge guitars, because I’ve been playing on a Floyd for my whole life, but this guitar had the comfortable playability of a Floyd and it’s, like, a mile thick. The tone on it is insane!”
Gary used these guitars during the 1990s and can be seen playing these models live a dynamo 1997
