Gary Holt

Used for recording of 2021 Exodus album, "Persona Non Grata":

The only other guitars Holt recorded with were “a couple of my signature ESPs [the GH-600 and GH-200] and also this ESP Strat that I had scalloped from the twelfth fret down”. He intentionally packed light, as Exodus recorded at drummer Tom Hunting’s house, which is in the remote mountains of Lake Almanor, California.

From the January 2022 issue of german "Guitar" magazine. Gary talks about the recording of the new Eyodus album "Persona Non Grata". When asked if he used a Kemper on the album he said: "No. It's all done with amps. Marshall Jubilee with a Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive in front und my signature Pro Tone Mid Boost. That's it. [...] We only tried different mics, but in the end we landed on the classics SM57 and Sennheiser 421 and the sound is perfect."

"Among others I took 3 ESP guitars to the recording sessions, but all the rhythm guitars were played on my 1983 Yamaha SBG 3000, which is equipped with passive EMGs. [...] In the studio I prefer passive [pickups] and EMG specifically made me a set for the Yamaha."
