I was in a guitar shop (probably in
Ochanomizu,an area in Tokyo famous for guitar shops
on either side of the street for several blocks) with
my guitarist dad and I was split between the Firebird
and a really nice Strat

There
was a picture of Johnny Winter circa '86 in the studio
cutting a slide track on a white
'Bird.Since he was one of my original guitar heroes
my dad took it as an omen and insisted I go for the
Firebird

She
was my main guitar for 12 years; I wrote the majority
of my songs on her and everyone loved her rich tone (I
wrap the strings over the stop tailpiece). Now the neck
is warped to the side and the only way I can fix her is
to sand it down but I refuse to butcher her in any way.I
save her for recording rhythm and slide parts. During
the sessions for SCI-FI DINER. I used her on REAL WILD
CHILD,J.J.'S BOOGIE and TAKE ME ON DOWN TO MEMPHIS. Her
departure from the limelight has made her even more of
a legend.She'll be heard again on most of my 3rd CD HEARTLAND
when it comes out. |

I enjoy modern jazz,
classic and
modern rock. I've always been a big fan of underrated
guitarists like David
Gilmour and Alex Lifeson, so I try to emulate their
sounds a lot. I.

I
consider myself very lucky
to have it and I love my father very much for willing
it to me (it had been
my mom's present to him on their first Christmas). Thanks
for everything, J |

Rock,
blues & a bit of young country as it reminds
me of the old rock and roll. Beatles, Stones, Yardbirds,ZZTop,
Howlin
Wolf, and John Lee Hooker |
Vibrolux

wah,
chorus,fuzz, and octaver, but rarely use em
now, some times a wah for a bit of hendrix, i basically
rely on the clean
and hot channels of my stage 160 fender, and the fender
clean and bright
channel on the vibrolux. |
 Over
the years, had to replace the
tuners and the pickup switch . its a great sounding
guitar and it was my first solid electric . It is a
keeper. I currently own five Strats, two Teles, a Taylor
acoustic, a Fender jazz bass, and a Les Paul.

Freehold,
NJ. |
When
I was 13 years old, my Dad bought me a 1963 Firebird
for 8th grade graduation. I have since sold it because
I was stupid. I also used to have a 1966 Firebird, non
reverse. That my friend has. I sold it to him during
hard times. He still has it. |
Jeff writes:
"I
have upgraded the electronics and swapped the mini
hums for a set of Fillmore pickups. They are custom
made by Jim Wagner of in Ca.
Jim makes
the finest pickups available today, bar none. His
comepany is named WCR --Wagner Custom Rewinds)"
