An all rosewood Axis Super Sport by Music Man. Rosewood neck, rosewood fretboard, rosewood top. The name is Woody for some reason. This is a cool ax.

Red & Woody

EJ Strat

The famous Way Huge RED LLAMA before I stomped on it. Its not this pretty now. Yeah I could have kept it mint but, I USE THIS STUFF!

A custom Les Paul style guitar by Chris Benevente. This guitar is so beautiful and plays the way it looks. The wood is African Limba, or Black Korina as its more commonly known. The pickup rings, the knobs, the switch are all wood as well. Amazing craftmanship. It has a pair of Harmonic Design pickups in it now.

The back of the Limba guitar.

Italia baritone guitar. One of the cheapest cool guitars you can buy. 300 bucks with a bridge you can intonate!!! Sure its made of plastic, SO WHAT?
Companies
I currently endorse and use,

Dunlop picks and accessories, a family owned and operated company. They like to ROCK!
I use the Gator 1.14 Blue www.jimdunlop.com/index.php

I also really dig and use for recording the Univibe, The Zakk Wylde Overdrive, and the MXR Flanger, The Univibe is pure Jimi, you just leave when playing it, the Zakk has this trippy compression that is very cool for lead work, it works best when you are pushing an already gained sound into the next level, and the flanger is so deep Im still getting new sounds out of it, right now Im using it to thicken a lead tone, sort of like a Univibe but not as drastic, very fun.

I use ERNIE BALL MUSIC MAN guitars, every night with CCR I use two Music Man Super Sports, www.ernieball.com/mmonline/specs/instruments_axissuper.html called  "Red" & "Woody" equipped with Lindy Frailin humbuckers, www.fralinpickups.com wired up for me to Music Man specs by master repairman, Gary Brawer.  www.brawer.com/

These guitars are very resonant, very sturdy, and have great craftsmenship with regard to the quality of the wood, the frets,, and the stability of the neck. All very important features when touring from Nova Scotia to Argentina, with all types of climate changes. I have played these guitars in the freakin rain, the hot sun directly on me for 90 minutes, near freezing temperatures and these guitars hold up like road warriors. Its amazing. Two years of solid touring and only some minor corrosion on the input jack due to humidity. These are VERY UNDERATED instruments. CHEK DEM OUT MON!

Evidence Audio Guitar Cables. This shite is stupid good. Its like having a new guitar with these cables. They allow me to breathe new life into my music, www.evidenceaudio.com. Amazing.

I also use, ERNIE FREAKIN BALL STRINGS! Along with Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Steve Morse, Albert Lee and a gazillion others. Im honored to be in such company. www.ernieball.com .

I also use an Endorse the amazing CARR Rambler amp. www.carramps.com/

On the road I use two 65 Twin Reissue amps, a very sturdy amp with consistency, 170 watts of Fender! Hey its a Twin. You know the deal. www.fender.com/products/search.php
