MY GUITAR RIG
As you can see there are three tube Pre-amps. In the rig itself you will see the Zen Drive which is what I recorded with recently, but above you will see the Seymour Duncan Twin Tube which I also like very much, and to the right one of my oldest favorites, the Mesa-Boogie V-Twin. I like them all and it really depends on what mood I’m in which one I use.In the middle of those two, you will see a prototype of the new wireless midi for guitar that was invented by Andras Szalay, and is distributed by Fishman Associates.The rig itself is self evident and needs no commentary from me other than it stays the same whichever pre-amp I use.
MY INSTRUMENTS
Custom Made Double Neck by Paul Reed Smith Guitars
Paul built me this guitar for my US Farewell Tour in 2017. I no longer have this magnificent instrument as it was auctioned directly after the tour and all proceeds were donated to Al-Mada, a non-profit organisation healing traumatized children through music therapy.

The Shakti Guitar built for me by master luthier Mirko Borghino.
The original Shakti guitar was built by Abraham Wechter, but Mirko only saw it in photos. What’s amazing is that his is perfect in every detail. A wonderful instrument.
