"Worst: Rickenbacker 610 I had custom ordered had that terrible R tailpiece & squealed at realistic volumes. Looked cool, though. Best: when I discovered my first G&L SC-1 & bought it used for around $200. A vintage 1960s Jet Firebird I bought at a pawnshop for $235 was a rather good deal, as was a wonderful 1970s Cherry Sunburst Les Paul Deluxe (that I wish I still had) that I got for $375." - excerpt from QRD interview.

"The G&L SC-1 is my favorite guitar and the one for which I am known. When Band Of Susans visited the G&L factory in 1989, there was a Band Of Susans poster on the wall. Leo Fender and Dale Hyatt took us out to lunch, and made me three one-of-kind G&L SC-1 reissues. (Lots of stuff about this on the internet; the recent G&L Fallout was inspired in part by my modifications to my guitars.) I prefer the G&L Magnetic Field Design pickup, but at high levels of gain and distortion in places in which the wiring is dubious and the lighting dimmers are immoderate, I use humbuckers like the DiMarzio DP156. I have used and/or still use Fender Jazzmaster, Gretsch, Yamaha and Gibson hollow bodies (like the ES-135 heard on “The Last Temptation Of Susan”), Schecter, Tokai Talbos and Gibson Les Paul Deluxes and Les Paul Junior non-double cutwaway models. (I’ve been at this a long time)."
