The first guitar Barakat ever wanted was a Fender Tom DeLonge Signature Strat. He eventually tracked one down from fellow pop-punker Ian Grushka from New Found Glory. The Strat is still stock and features a single Seymour Duncan Invader in the bridge. (New Found Glory is the inspiration for All Time Low’s band name—they took it from a NFG lyric in “Head on Collision.”)

Perry Bean cut his teeth touring and playing in punk rock and hardcore bands, before he got his start in film. He worked his way up from lowly production assistant to become a producer, art director, and most recently, a music video director nominated for ACM, CMT, and CMA awards. Being Premier Guitar's Chief Videographer was a perfect fit for him, combining his two favorite things—guitars and cameras. Perry doesn't have free time, but his massive dog Beef pays his rent by being Perry's intern.
