Wing Bass. Custom, 18" scale travel bass. 2025 from WingInstruments.com

NOS Fender Tele Player Series (MIM). Bought at Southpaw Guitars in 2025

The newest member of the family; purchased online in 2025. Harley Benton is an inexpensive brand sold by Thomann in Germany. Very highly rated, and so far I dig it. I always wanted a fretless and when these were back in stock I snapped one up. Now has a set of LaBella Deep Talkin' Flatwound strings on it.

Gibson Thunderbird purchased from Southpaw Guitars Houston Texas 2019

Custom built by Hembry Guitars. The Camarojuana doubleneck. Purchased from Hembry Guitars in the early 2000's

The Jägernäut. Another Hembry custom, upgraded with Stonewall custom pickup. Purchased somewhere around 2006, or... ah hell, who knows any more. LOL

Gretsch 2655 purchased at Gary's Guitars in Portsmouth 2022

Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat 12 String. Purchased online sometime in the early 2010's. I love me some Rancid so this was an obvious choice for me.

Zager ZAD80. Purchased direct from Zager 2022

Rickenbacker 4001 purchased from Southpaw Guitars around 1999

Schecter Diamond Series Custom 6 bass purchased at Daddy's Junky Music in Portsmouth NH. Year long forgotten, but just before the store closed.

Fender USA P Bass. Purchased at Ralph's House of Tone in Dover NH. Not sure when...

Michael Kelly 5 String Acoustic Bass. Almost certainly purchased online but no idea when.

Schecter Diamond Series 8 String Bass. I don't remember where I bought this one... or when. But I do love it. Someday I may get myself a dUg Pinnick 12 String Bass. Dare to dream.

Ibanez Jem Jr. The budget version of Steve Vai's signature guitar. It goes without saying I'm no shredder but I wanted something with a tremolo. And, you know, it just looks friggin' cool!

The Journey travel guitar in Yosemite National Park, with El Capitan in the background through the tree.

Cheap-ass mandolin purchased from the evil Amazon. Really just wanted to see if I could learn how to play the mando so I picked up this $100 thing. Tough to tune, not great sound quality but a good place to learn.

Vox Continental purchased online late 2010's

Journey Instruments OF412 travel acoustic. It goes in the overhead bin when I travel for work. Detachable neck and yet somehow the damn thing holds a tune exceptionally well.

The Jupiter 2 theremin. I made the stand out of a walker as for our last couple of gigs Tom was walking with a cane. We're all getting old. It was hilarious. Disco ball testicles were a late inspiration.

Original local band stickers on the theremin were all Tom.
