This guitar is stock. I have not gotten a chance to upgrade this guitar but she’s handy in a pinch. She came from the factory with Grover machine heads and Tone lock bridge. Now just need some gig money to replace those Rockfield pickups.
Make: Jackson Kelly Electric
Name: Jackie
This guitar was a bought at a steal. Almost felt bad for what I paid for it. Although the stock pickups were not up to my standards so I replaced them. I outfitted Jackie with Seymour Duncan SH1 in the bridge and Seymour Duncan Pearly Gates in the neck. I also picked up some skull speed knobs and switch plate cover from ebay.
Make: Ibanez Acoustic

This guitar is named after my wife because of how beautiful it looks. The only strings I use on this are Elixor nano or poly sheaths
Amps
I currently practice with and gig with a Peavey JSX Signature head and cabinet.
Head
The head sports 120 watts in 16, 8, or 4ohms (switchable)
Four EL34s and Four 12AX’s
Three Channels, Ultra, Crunch, and Clean
Master Volume as well Channel Volume with an over all Presence and Resonance Dial
Noise Gate control
It’s built like a tank and weights a ton. About 60lbs just for the head!
Cabinet
4X12 slant Cabinet
400 watts continuous power handling
16 ohms mono
Four 12 inch custom JSX speakers rear mounted “closed back”
11 ply birch Baffles
Mic simulated XLR direct output
This is also built like a tank and weights a ton for a 4X12. This cabinet weights in at about 90lbs
Effects
I run a pretty bare bones ship when it comes to effects. I like the grit of stock distortion on the JSX so I use my head for that. I run boss pedals through my loop. I currently am running with inline Chromatic Boss tuner, Boss DD-6 Digital Delay, Boss PH-2 Super Phaser, Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, Boss BF-3 Flanger, Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor. I also use an Ibanez Weeping Demon Wah pedal. I run all of this through a Furman Power Conditioner and call it good.
