Here are some of the guitars I play

I never wanted to collect guitars. I realize that all guitars sound different, and as a guitar player, I wanted to have a variety of tones and sounds for live and in the studio, so I have a few to experiment with. I still have a few guitars on my wish list, but for now I am content with the guitars I own.

Here is my guitar list: Paul Reed Smith (PRS) 24 fret custom 10 top, Gibson Studio (Custom), G&L ASAT Classic Tele (Leo Fender), Carvin, Krammer, Fender 40th Anniversary Stratocaster, Krammer American Pacer Custom II, Ibanez 570 FM (Japan), Yamaha Acoustic, and Alvarez Classical.

This might sound a little strange, but for playing live in the local clubs, I started playing a Cort MGM (Matt Guitar Murphy) guitar. Matt "Guitar Murphy is one of the guys that played on the Blues Brothers sound track etc. Anyway, for those interested in Custom Signature Cort Guitars, it is a sweet playing guitar. Yup, even Cort has a Signature Shop!!! They make some interesting guitars, but make sure you check out the Cort Signature Artist Series. Heck, some of them even come stock with EMG's (pickups). Last but not least, I was extremely surprised to see that Neil Zaza is now playing his own Custom Cort. If you have some time and want to hear some great music and watch some video's, check out the Neil Zaza site and his Signature Cort in action. I think I saw him hanging around Cleveland a few years back :)). I remember him from back when I lived in Ohio and was playing. It is great to see him doing well and also playing a cort :)).

Wishlist: Gibson Explorer, Gibson 335, Jackson Soloist (USA), and Alvarez Yairi Classical
