Tedeski Drums

You can't go wrong here. Dedicated, outstanding drummer with great vocal abilities... everything from AC/DC to ZZ plus backup harmonies. One of the most able drummers around!

Chuck Bender Cambria County Radio DJ/Personality Passes

Knew Chuck since the '60s. He actually went thru basic training in the Army with Jimi Hendrix and told me a few stories early on about his experiences with him. RIP Chuck. You will be sorely missed.

Roy Corle

A real shocker... He just built a Deluxe Reverb for me that sounds amazing. Felix used his expertise as an amp tech for years and used the amps that Roy handbuilt. He sounded like an excited little kid when he'd call me up and say, "Dude, you gotta hear this tonemonster!" Roy was a true Ge...

You can't go wrong here! This guy is truly talented. He's more than paid his dues and has been a steadfast, dependable guitar slinger extraordinaire for quite some time. Definitely can touch all the bases when it comes to playing different styles...and doing them all exceptionally well!

I talked to a guy from Fender's custom shop about this guitar. One of the differences is that the reissue has a 9 1/2" radius fretboard. Rory's originally had a 7 1/4" one. He had it refretted so many times that eventually it was sanded down to the 9 1/2" configuration. Because of the...

In the case of Rory's strat, there were several factors at play. 1st, it was a '61. The finish at the time was laquer, which unlike modern day polyurethane, wears much easier. He purchased it in the early '60's while playing with The Fontana Showband. It was actually stolen from him and when the wor...

Rory Gallagher and his band came in after a gig, were asked to set in and proceeded to...
