Iwas very upset when i saw the pool video and brad ruined a nice blue tele just for a video. I wish I could afford a tele with a bender system.

Tell us about the "bender" that they stuck on those guitars.

For those interested..."the modeling pickup" that Chad is referring to is Fishman's Aura Acoustic Imaging technology. Aura actually recreates the sound of a microphone on an acoustic guitar. Amazing technology!

Hi James. The opening riff is Keith Howland of the band Chicago playing through an Egnater Tourmaster 4x12 combo with Celestion Vintage 30s with a Suhr single-coil guitar mic'd with a Shure SM57. Thanks for the question!

PG: always wanted to ask, but what amp was used in your intro to these videos? Love that tone.

do not be ill advised...equipment that is near impossible or impossible to replace, is truly heartbreaking...yet, it is the artist whom crafts music that truely is irreplaceable. I believe Brad could even make do with a travel guitar and a battery powered amp (if the USA looses all power). I know David Bryson can, so I made him a unique travel guitar as a gift. He had to purchase the battery powered amp himself, as the cost of materials and 100 hours of labor was all I could donate. Keep the tunes comin'.

It's heart-breaking to hear about the gear that was lost, but it's amazing to see what they have put together in a short period of time. Love to check out the guitars especially. Hats off to the people who got everyone who lost gear in the flood back up and running!

All the priceless guitars, amps, and accessories lost in the Nashflood were truly tragic, especially since they were mostly irreplaceable instruments. Being a guitar tech and collector myself, I really relate to this. Bummer, man!
