He answered "I use my old faithful ‘54 a bit but I’m very fond of the Music Man Armadas I’m trying." when asked 'When it comes to your guitars, did you remain faithful to your ’54 Tele and Les Paul or did you mix it up at all?'

I use my old faithful ‘54 a bit but I’m very fond of the Music Man Armadas I’m trying. One has P90 style soapbars and is really cool and the other has humbuckers. I like the single coils mostly as they have so much edge and tone. I only use the humbucker one for the song ‘Five Foot One’ as it has a chugging eights riff which just sounds dope on it. I tried the Les Paul but I find the Armada puts up that bit more resistance and isn’t as smooth. These guitars are heavy with quite thick necks and you have to wrestle them to the ground a bit but they really pay you back and It really suits this music. I see myself using these for a long time to come. I love the way they look too. Retro and sort of futuristic too if that makes sense. Not often I see new guitar designs I like but these really eye-catching.

"I started using the Blackstar 100 watt heads in rehearsal and I found them too loud and clean for the job. Pretty soon I swapped them out for a pair of Artisan 30 combos and kept the pair of 4x12s (which I run one from each amp) so I have 6 x12 inch Celestions per channel in stereo."

"My Diago is the best readymade pedalboard I have ever had. It's strong, user friendly and looks great. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one again if it ever wears out!"

"Daniel Steinhardt did a great job building it all round his amazing Gigrig G2 switcher so it’s just about my dream tone"
