Comments:
This guitar is a culmination of Matt’s woodworking skills and my
perfectionist/obsessive compulsive nature. After three prototypes and lots
of patience (on Matt’s part) this guitar embodies all the qualities I
look for in a quality instrument. My Maillet has exceptional playability,
versatility and beauty. You can hear this guitar on Crabby tracks, such as
Jerry Springer, Little Things, and Stan T. The neck has incredible feel
but what makes this guitar so special is its versatility. I can get a
variety of tones ranging from ultra-clean to ultra-dirty. It has crisp
highs and clear lows. Its natural finish is not only durable but
incredibly vibrant – bringing out the natural detail in the AAAA carved
maple top. I consider this guitar a superb instrument as well as a
fabulous piece of artwork.

Comments:
This guitar was my main instrument from 1987 –1993. You can hear this
guitar on early Crabby tracks, such as Like Me Like You, sims, Missing Out
on Happiness. A remarkable guitar with an exceptional neck (Characteristic
of the original Charvel guitar necks). Its tone is reminiscent of a Les
Paul rather than a Strat (more mids than highs). Despite its Poplar body,
the guitar is very dense (probably due to all the filler and lacquer on
the body for the special paint job) giving the guitar a crunchy sound and
giving me a sore shoulder. It now serves as my back-up guitar but I’ll
pull it out every now when I need that extra crunch.
Marshall
JCM-800 (50W), Circa 1986-1987. Tubes: Tesla EL34. Comments: The most
important piece of equipment I own and certainly the most valuable. I went
through at least a dozen amps before I found this gem. I was lucky enough
to buy it brand new in 1987 from Ross Music in Providence, RI. I have yet
to hear another amp that even comes close to matching the depth and
character of this workhorse. Marshall 1936 half stack (2 Celestion
