Guitars
- Fender Telecasters - too many to name, but a few highlights include a Fender Telecaster Thinline Custom, 69 Tele Thinline w/ Bigsby (once owned by a Venture), G&L Sparkle Tele Thinline
- Gibson Acoustics (J-200 & J-45)
- Gibson Electrics (Les Pauls w P90s & ES-330s) including ‘69 Les Paul Black Beauty, ’76 and ’78 Les Paul Deluxes,
- Others - Gretsch Setzer Hot Rod, Ibanez Artist Doubleneck, Alvarez-Yairi Nylon String, Reverend Rocco, a nameless semi-hollow guitar I bought on ebay, saw on an episode of Happy Days, and used on numerous tracks because it sounds like Duane Eddy on speed (but doesn't tune too well)
Amps
- Studio - Budda Superdrives - Jeff Bober is the master of the power section, and Dave Friedman build the pre-amps on this one. Maybe the most underrated amps on the planet - Budda Superdrive 30, Budda Superdrive 80, Budda Superdrive 18, Baby Budda
- Live - Kemper Profiler Stage - My Rig in a Box. Once Mark Knopfler switched over, I knew I had to try them. But there is simply a magic in having your amp at all the right settings with one push of a button, and direct into the PAs. The ultimate fly rig…
Accessories
- Cooperstand - The best portable stands by far
- Other - Ditto x2 and x4 loopers, D'Addario Strings, Dunlop Tortex Picks, Mogami Cable… Fingers, Brain, Tongue and the EBow
