2009 Duncan Africa “Jubilee” Acoustic Guitar

Sitka Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back and sides... Topped off with an

L.R. Baggs iMix pick-up. An amazing instrument hand-made for me in Uganda.

1991 Takamine FE360SC Acoustic  

Black granite finish and a parametric EQ

pick-up. (my “pre-kids” guitar!).  I recorded

“Together” with this guitar, and did most of

my tour of duty as worship pastor with it too…

Godin A6 Electric Acoustic Guitar

Cedar top with a natural satin finish... my stage toy. A great Canadian built instrument for the money. Plays like an electric, sounds like an acoustic.

Boulder Creek Riptide Acoustic/Electric Ukulele

Best sounding ply-top uke I could find on Oahu with a decent

pick-up and tuner. For those Aloha worship experiences.

Some of us are just called to beach ministry…

The Traveller EG Guitar

Slickest little travel guitar on the market. Mine’s got a black

mahogany body and mahogany neck. Regular 1/4” and 1/8”

headphone outs with a decent preamp. Clean and distortion

channels. I’ve written a LOT of songs with this little guitar

and my Boss Micro-BR recorder.

Other guitars have come and gone, but these few have stayed with me…
