“I think if you play the music that people have some sort of connection in their lives with, and you do a good job of it and put on a great show, then you develop a reputation,” Shaw says. “People are so busy these days, and their free time is very precious to them. So when they go to the trouble of buying a ticket, it’s really saying a lot about the band. And Styx is more fun than ever. We’ve gotten so many of the kinks out of the process of touring. We’ve really figured out how to tour and survive it. Everybody in the band is on the same page. We’re not really dragging around any craziness or old baggage with us. Any problems we ever had amongst us, we worked them out years ago.”

Scott Pike just returned this beauty to me after some tedious fixes, all issues repaired and it's awesome now.

The link is a forum describing it, but it can be seen in use during this Damn Yankees video during many songs, including "Come Again". There's another guitar that he uses for other songs, "Renegade" being one of them, that's the same, but just black with a maple fretboard. The design he uses is similar to the picture given, but I couldn't find the exact one he used. The time stamps for the songs are in the comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0GSWCf6QYg

Here Shaw is with his custom shop Les Paul. He's got an Axcess Stopbar and Schaller strap locks installed on it.

"My Marshall TSL-100's have never sounded better since the magic of Voodoo has been bestowed upon them. Thank you so much from both Tommy Shaw and myself. You guys ROCK!!!"
