Simon McBride's Gear

"I have quite a few PRS guitars and they are all great instruments; but the 408 is the best sounding and most versatile. It has a very wide palette of sounds. I use Rotosound strings (standard set of Nickel 10’s) and Dunlop Delrin 1.14 picks, which are stiff and slick." - Simon from his website gear page.
