D'addario The brand of strings I use. In my opinion the best strings on the market. |

Katrina Johansson Chicago Speedqueen who just released an instrumental shred-album on M.A.C.E. Records. Endorses Dean Guitars and is featured in the May 2006 issue of Guitar Player Magazine. And, okay, she's extremely good-looking. There, I said it. |
KISS The whole reason I became a rock musician. Kiss guided me through puberty and they were a role model for many successful artists out there today. Although they're pushing sixty right now, they're still the hottest band in the world. You wanted the best, you've got the best... |
Kings's X Three gentlemen who write incredible good songs and give jaw dropping live performances. In 2000 we've toured with them and to this day I still have very warm memories of that period. We really had a blast. |

Meyer Amps I break stuff. A lot! So it's good to know that this guy is always there to the rescue. So if your amp, cabinet or effects isn't working like it should, contact Eric of Meyer Amps here.

And because you all know my love for custom and signature products, you'll probably already figured out where this might lead to in the near future......... |
