About this deal

After every performance some of it would come off. Wherever my arm was rubbing, it would get rubbed off. I was adding stuff to it during the boring parts of the day on tour, whenever there's nothing to do. I have to think about this. [pauses] Did I use it on Live In San Francisco?... I'm looking at my computer right now at live clips… I know that I brought it out on The Extremist tour, which was '92, '93. I did a small amount of touring in and around the Deep Purple stuff, which was the end of '93 going into '94, which was the Time Machine release and The Beautiful Guitar compilation in Europe. I do, but I don't think I've played it recently. I can't remember the last time I used it. I haven't played it for a live performance for some time, so we definitely put it away at some point." Oh man, once I started sessions for Flying In A Blue Dream, that was the guitar. I used it on everything, every single song on that album. To me, at that period, the guitar had reached its newest form of perfection. I mean, it had always been this little, beat-up guitar that had so much surgery done on it. Soon he found himself with a lot more spare time on his hands & decided to build himself a guitar just for fun. He set out to build the guitar he always wanted to buy but really couldn’t afford and wanted playability/tone that would exceed that of most production-line guitars hanging on the walls of guitar shops.

As my success blossomed during that period, one thing was also clear - that I wasn't part of other guitar players' scenes. Tthey were coming from a really heavy metal place. I wasn't trying to blend in with Jason and Marty or Yngwie - that wasn't my thing at all. So by drawing on the guitar, I distinguished myself as an artist who was going to be a lot quirkier. It wasn't until a couple of months leading up to the release of Surfing With The Alien that I felt we had a couple of elements that were extremely important. We were still fighting the contours of the body and the cutaways that I didn't like. But I started to really enjoy where Rich and I had brought the compound radius. I must have had Gary change the length of the vibrato so many times. And he was bending them, as well. Generally, bars tilt up at the end, and I wanted them straight, so all my bars were shorter and straighter. His dad eventually got him a 1969 Fender Bronco for Christmas and he spent every spare hour in his bedroom learning to play for years. I don't know. I don't know when [guitar tech] Mike Manning and I started giving the guitars names. It was probably at one at a show somewhere and we were having a laugh."In 2013 a little girl came into his world and soon he found it was time to transition into being home a lot more & spending quality family time. Eventually the decision was made to stop playing live music and just simply be dad. The decision wasn’t easy as playing music had been his life for over 20 years. It has definitely proved to be the best decision he ever made.
