Over the years I’ve played all kinds of instruments and have become a collector as well as an avid player. I’m lucky to have travelled the world over and have some amazing acoustic instruments from Japan, Austria and the USA. With electric instruments I tend to veer towards custom instruments and have two hardtail strats with Moses graphite necks as well as an amazing Collings I35 which is fitted with Tom Holmes PAFs. There’s very little that surprises me these days, but Larry Pogreba’s work is really leftfield and quite exceptional. I now have two of his instruments, both made from aluminum and great sounding. I call them “The Pogreba sisters”
These sound like nothing else I have ever played, a great electric roots sound that fits brilliantly with some of the music I am working on at the moment. We just finished one track with the Beth with the guitar massively tuned down so it sounds even more different to any recognizable guitar sound. I plan to release some of this material later this year with some other fine musicians.
