A chance to collaborate with one of my favorite bands in a completely open and supportive creative environment... some our best work.
What you're always trying to achieve in a creative relationship is one that is egoless... ideas belong to the collective. If you can disassociate your own ego from your idea, then, almost always, everybody will arrive at the same decision as to what is best.
You can never have enough guitars. It's like women and shoes... it's nice to have different paints on your palette.
A guitar is a piece of wood, and if this piece is resonating in a period of 40 or 60 years, it kind of gets to know what it is after awhile... the reason violinists play violins that are hundreds of years old. The wood learns to sing.
