My studio consists of a Tascam 2488, 24-channel digital audio
workstation. I use a Behringer Composer as an outboard
compressor and run mics through an ART dual-channel tube
pre-amp. I use a pair of MXL-603 mics for background stereo guitar
work. In addition I use an Audio Technica AT-4033, an AT-3060
tube mic and occasionally an AT-32a small diameter condenser mic.
Monitors are TR-5 models made by Event Electronics.

Left to right:
ARCHES F5 - This was built for me by Chris Baird in Feb 2007
GIBSON J-50 - I bought this guitar at a pawn shop in Anchorage, AK
around 1976. It's been my go-to axe since the first day. It was completely
restored in 1996 by Rudy Blazer.
.1912 GIBSON A-1 - I bought this on 14 Feb 2005. Great playing
instrument with lovely tone.
GUILD F-65 CE - I don’t think Guild is making these anymore. It's a thin
body, one-piece maple arched back. It served me well when I was playing
solo gigis.
OCTAVE MANDOLIN - built by Remco Busink in the Netherlands. The
Dutch word for this instrument is "cister". It can also be called a cittern.
This one replaced my original Busink cister. It features a shorter, guitar-
like scale.
PRIM TAMBURICA - also built by Remco Busink. It features a hand carved,
one piece body and neck. This is an instrument whose origin is the
Balkans.
BABY TAYLOR - I've had this for about ten years. When I was traveling a
lot I carried it everywhere so I could practice. Remco repaired all the
damage I did to it over the years.
I also have an Ashbory bass guitar, a fiddle, a large selection of
harmonicas and tin whistles and a bodhran.
