I get asked about what gear I like to play, mod, and use for recording. Since I’m a pretty big gearhead, I decided to dedicate an entire section of Guitar Repair Bench to talking about the gear that I like, use, and wouldn’t mind getting some day.
One thing to keep in mind is that I’m not some professional reviewer or anything. I’m just a regular dude who loves guitars and gear. All of my reviews are just what I thought when I tried the equipment. I am kind of a gear snob, so I really only like playing nice stuff. I don’t bother reviewing crap. If it’s on here, it’s worth buying.
I’m going to start posting reviews soon, but in the meantime, I’d love to hear what you guys think about it in the facebook group. If you haven’t joined yet, make sure to like our page and join in on the gear talk. Without further ado, let’s talk gear!
