When my friends at Ernie
Ball told me I needed to create a page dedicated to my gear I laughed.
"Who'd care what gear I use?" I asked. Well they were right. I get a
surprising amount of e mail wanting to chat about gear, swap info and ask
questions. Live and learn. So for all you fellow gear
fanatics... Here you go!

 Strings and things: Peter is very grateful
for all the support he receives from Ernie Ball and uses Ernie Ball
steel strings
exclusively for acoustic and electric guitar, steel and pedal steel guitar,
Dobro and banjo. Peter uses Slinky strings for electric guitar and bass, and Phosphorus Bronze light
for acoustic guitar. He also uses Ernie Ball volume pedals, instrument
cables and microphone cables exclusively. Thank You Ernie Ball for a great
relationship and wonderful tools! |
