Laurie's Rig
On stage I use:
An American Fender Telecaster
modified with Fender Vintage noiseless pickups and Schaller locking tuners. I bought this Tele one humid July afternoon on the way to play an outdoor concert. Out of all the guitars in the store the neck on this particular instrument suited my hand the best and I have really enjoyed playing it.

Luna Henna Paradise S Folk style cutaway acoustic-electric
I love this guitar and hope to start playing it more onstage. It has a solid spruce top, quilted maple back and sides with laser-etched henna design, a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, with 4-band preamp and built-in tuner and low z output.  The Luna line is designed for female guitarists and I love the slender neck and built-in features.

Medium gauge custom picks from In Tune Guitar Picks

30/60-watt Reverend Hellhound Class A tube amp built into a custom road rack case built by JR Sound in Burton MI.

Also mounted into the amp case is a Furman power conditioner, Behringer BTR2000 2-Channel RACKTUNER and Metronome, and an AKG  WMS 40 PRO guitarbug UHF wireless guitar system.

Blackheart BH5H Little Giant 3-watt/5-watt boutique tube amp head with BH112 1x12 speaker cabinet. This is a SWEET sounding little amp!  We bought a pair of these to keep at our rehearsal space but these little buggers are gutsy enough to use for small club gigs.

Shure Beta 87 mic. This isn't the best sounding mic I've ever owned but it's a quality piece of equipment.

Hot pink duct tape. Nope, I never worry about stage crew guys or fellow band mates "borrowing" my tape. <grin>

At home I play/have:

Reverend gold top Slingshot
electric guitar

Rusty had this guitar custom built for me a few years ago and I really treasure it. It's a fabulous sounding/playing instrument but we quickly learned that it is best played in a climate controlled environment so we use it primarily for rehearsing and recording rather than for live shows.

A natural Taylor Big Baby dreadnought acoustic guitar. I call this my "campfire" guitar.

A Garcia nylon-string classical guitar. A Christmas gift from my parents when I was 12. It was my first decent playing guitar and I doubt I will ever part with it.

An antique Victorian-era, lute-shaped guitar I found online and had shipped from Germany. Gotta love eBay.

A 30-watt Crate Palamino amp

50-watt Marshall combo amp
