Fender Jaguar Fom left to right: '65 sunburst, '62 blue/tortoise pickguard, '65 Lake Placid Blue/white pickguard, '59 blue/gold-anodized pickguard.

"The '65 sunburst Jazzmaster was my first guitar. I got it when l was 18 from Slimy Bob, who had a store in Connecticut called Slimy Bob's Guitar Rip-Off It has always been my main guitar, although now I'm starting to use my Telecaster more. I've built my sound around it."

"I only use Fender guitars on stage. That's what I started with. Plus I never like to play leads on Gibsons They're too easy to play, and you can only get one cool sound out of them."
