The Taylor 222ce-K DLX, acquired from the iconic Gruhn Guitars, stands out as a versatile and beautifully crafted instrument. Featuring a koa top, back, and sides, it produces a warm, resonant tone with clear, articulate highs. The grand auditorium body provides excellent projection while remaining comfortable for long performances. With its glossy finish and elegant inlays, this guitar combines stunning aesthetics with exceptional playability, making it a key part of the band’s signature sound.

The Gretsch G2622T P90 Streamliner, sourced from Wadsworth Music, delivers classic Gretsch tone with modern versatility. Equipped with P90 pickups, it offers a punchy, dynamic sound perfect for both clean rhythms and overdriven leads. Its semi-hollow body design provides warmth and resonance, while the sleek finish and distinctive Gretsch styling make it visually striking on stage. This guitar has become a reliable workhorse for the band, contributing rich textures to both covers and original tracks. 

The Squier Stratocaster in a striking cherry finish with a black pickguard is the first electric guitar in the band’s collection and a piece that will always be kept. Known for its classic Strat tone and comfortable playability, it delivers bright, expressive sounds perfect for both rhythm and lead parts. Its timeless design and smooth feel make it a reliable and beloved instrument, holding a special place in the band’s history and on stage. 

This 1997 Epiphone Les Paul, featuring genuine Gibson hardware, is a true classic in mint condition. Acquired for a steal at $400 from The Exchange, it delivers the rich, warm tones and sustain that make Les Pauls legendary. Its solid build, iconic design, and premium components make it a versatile powerhouse for both rhythm and lead playing, earning its place as a key instrument in the band’s setup. 

The PRS Core 509 in Fire Mist Burst is honestly one of the most insane guitars I’ve ever played. The finish is just ridiculous—in the best way. It shifts between deep reds, oranges, and gold depending on the light, like the whole top is literally glowing when I move it around on stage.

What I love most is how versatile it is. I can go from thick, full humbucker tones for heavier riffs straight into bright, clean single-coil sounds without ever touching another guitar. It basically covers everything I need in one instrument, which is kind of dangerous because now I just want to play it all the time.

The Core build feels flawless. The neck is super smooth, the frets are perfect, and the sustain just keeps going forever. It’s one of those guitars where you hit a note and it just hangs there like it doesn’t want to die.

Overall, it’s my go-to “do everything” guitar. It’s got the looks, the tone, and the feel—and it just makes me want to play better every time I pick it up.

The PRS SE Tremonti was formerly the most played and favorite guitar in the band’s lineup. Designed in collaboration with one of modern rock’s greatest guitarists, it delivers exceptional tone, playability, and versatility. With its powerful pickups and sleek design, it handles everything from heavy riffs to soaring solos with precision and clarity. Comfortable to play and visually striking, this guitar is a central piece of the band’s sound on stage and in the studio.
