One thing I love about my job is all the cool guitars and guitar equipment I get to play on a regular basis. I began learning the guitar in high school on an old Alvarez that I aquired through permanent loan. Now I have two Fender Stratocasters, a sunburst Strat (2008 American Deluxe model with Dimarzio area 58 pickups, 60s rosewood neck, and alder body) and a black Strat (2006 American Standard that I rebuilt with Dimarzio Area 58 and Area 61 pickups, alder body and 50s style maple neck). I also have two awesome acoustic guitars, a Martin D-15 acoustic guitar made of all mahagony wood and a Tom Anderson Crowdster.
