Fender Strat(Customised) - customised strat with graphite nut and Dimarzio HS-3 in neck Duncan humbucker in bridge.

Gibson SG - For different sounds, now and again I use this Gibson SG, in black, of course!

Peavey Wolfgang - Great little guitar, was used a lot in 2003-2005. It has a good rock tone.

Jackson Soloist - My main guitar for about 5 years, never let me down, always stays in tune.

He uses their Hybrid guitar strings [9-46] on his Fender Strats and other guitars.

:: Amps and Pedals..

Steve plays Marshall amps, 2203 100 Watt JCM800 1978 Marshall valve heads or JCM2000 DSL 100Watt heads for live band work, but his absolute fave piece of gear is the Marshall JMP-1 pre-amp. Steve loves using the JMP-1's for his rock solo gigs.

Pedals are stock Jim Dunlop Wah Pedals GCB-95 models, Marshall Overdrive pedals either original Guvnor pedals or the new Guvnor Plus pedals, and Boss Tu-2 tuner pedals.

Effects are just delay for lead breaks, usually provided by a Marshall JFX-1.
