Featuring the Gibson Joe Bonamassa Les Paul Studio, my first expensive guitar.

I recently made a couple of videos featuring my Ibanez JS1200 and Suhr Modern Satin. Full disclosure: ANY guitar can be used for church services! But each guitar has nuances that bring in unique sounds and textures. The JS1200, for example, has my favourite trem system: the original Edge. Very...

Hi all, Selling a few pedals from my studio (hence all in 9/10 physical condition, 10/10 working condition): Hotone Binary Amp ($100): You can check out my video review of it here: Tuner ($40): Komp ($40): No trades, looking for cash only. Thanks!
