Suhr Classic

Simply the most versatile guitar I have and it features all over the album.  Custom neck carve that feels to me the ideal meeting point between a standard Tele and Strat.  Suhr noiseless pickups in middle and neck position, and Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge.  Light as a feather but sustains for days!  My main live guitar.

 

Heritage H535

A cherry-sunburst model bought back in 2006.  It was completely re-fretted with taller stainless steel frets as the original frets were a little too shallow for my tastes.  A wonderful 'airy' sound used primarily for the clean parts.  Seymour Duncan '59's in the neck and bridge position.

 

Fender EJ Strat

The only maple neck guitar I have and what a huge chunk of neck it is!  Glassy vintage Strat sounds galore!  Used on 'Withdrawn..' and 'Timshel'.

 

Fender AM Telecaster

Deep down I think I'm a Tele player at heart but my loyalty lies with a Strat!  Unique sounding guitar (especially in the bridge position), and specifically used on the heavier bits of 'Unnerving'.  Seymour Duncan Lil '59 in the bridge and Dimarzio Twang King at the neck.

 

Fender AM Strat

Affectionately known as 'Daph' - a limited run of Daphne Blue Strats that Fender produced in 2004.  A pair of Texas Specials in the neck and bridge and a Suhr SSH in the Bridge.  The darkest rosewood board I've seen!
