| 2009 Takamine EG532XC-NF I bought this guitar in Oct 2009. I'm using this one as my primary live guitar both in Real Life and Second Life. Maple front, back and sides. Great sounding guitar! |
 |
| 2008 Hagstrom XL-5 - Indian Summer I bought this guitar Spring 2008. Love it! This is now my main guitar for live use and recording. I used this one on about half the songs on the CD (Everyday Blues, Raised On Heartache, Living For Today, Sometimes It's Best To Forget). |
 |
| 2008 Hagstrom XL-5 - Red I bought this guitar as a backup to the one above. Just in case.... |
 |
| 1980 Gibson Les Paul Custom This was my main guitar until earlier this year when I bought the new Hagstrom. It hasn't been out of the case since! I used this one on about half the songs on the CD (Homewrecker Blues, Not Without You, Good Girl Gone Wrong, Where Do You Go, Let It Ride). |
 |
| 1968 Hagstrom Viking Bought this guitar with my paper route money in 1968! This was my main guitar from 1968 - 1982 It's been used, abused, and heavily modified but still a great guitar! Used for several rhythm tracks on the CD. |
 |
| 1983 Washburn Tanglewood Acoustic/Electric I bought this one new around 1983. Still a great acoustic/electric. I had a new Fishman active pickups installed a few years back but still need to play it through a preamp. |
 |
| Blooze Bottle Guitar Slides I use the Blooze Bottle MC1 - Medium Clear guitar slides for all electric slide work live and on the CD. This is an exact replica of the bottles grandma's medicine used to come in a long time ago! |

| RECORDING |
|
| Line6 Toneport UX2 / Gearbox Software All guitar, vocal, bass, keyboard, mics on the CD were processed throught the Toneport. Great product! |
 |
| MXL 990 / 993 Condenser Microphones I used the MXL 993 for all the vocals on the CD. The 990 works good for acoustic guitar, but I opted to use the Fishman piezo pickups on the Washburn this time around. |
 |
| Roland SPD-6 Drum Pads I used the MXL 993 for all the vocals on the CD. The 990 works good for acoustic guitar, but I opted to use the Fishman piezo pickups on the Washburn this time around. |
 |
| SONAR Home Studio 4 Software Great product for the price. I actually upgraded to version 6 in the middle of recording the CD but went back to version 4 because I was getting distracted learning the new interface. |
 |
| AKAI Rotator Software This VST plugin is awesome. It simulates a Leslie Speaker, is fully adjustable, and you can record the automation of any of the features. All of the organ tracks on the CD were recorded on my relatively cheap Yamaha keyboard and processed through the AKAI Rotator. |
 |
| Izotope OZONE 3 Software This is a really cool package of Mastering affects. I used it a lot for mastering the songs while I was working on them. In the end I opted to have Disc Makers professionally master the CD since I couldn't get the sound I wanted. Probably the operator, not the software. |
