Eastwood Airline Map
About 15 years in my possession at this point, and at least 8 years with the previous owner. Still going strong, albeit with tuning that has never been particularly stable due to that Bigsby bridge.

The Federales - XII Below Sound Desk Recordings (2010)
Following up on the previous post - a selection from the sound desk recording from the same night. On reflection I might have come in a bit too hot on the distortion/fuzz those days, but no regrets!
Behringer B1 Condenser Mic
A super cheap (but surprisingly good) large-diaphragm condenser mic to hopefully get around the cymbal wash that otherwise dominates my drum recordings. Also sounds crazy good recording the guitar amp (note the "shoe mount" for the kick mic also).
The never-ending battle
This was nearly an hour. Still a great guitar, but a pain in the ass to change strings. Interestingly, switching to D'Addario NYXL 12-52 strings seems to hold the tuning a bit better.
