GEAR:

Well... I like to plug and play. Less knobs I have to turn, fastest I'm ready to play. I don't have the patience and the skills to take the most of a 200 presets rack or pedal. I don't feel the need to have tens of guitars, I don't keep them. I like my guitar to be basic but very consistant and perfectly finished in order to feel my fingers free to do their job.
So I like my guitars to have 24 frets. Alder for body or any light wood is great. I rather like fixed bridge instead of tremolos, I suck with a whammy bar. I like single coil pickups on the neck position and humbuckers for the bridge. I like quality (tube) combo or amp head with cabinet. It's simple to carry during tours and it's fast to set up. I usually don't play with effects.
