I am glad this was put up as I never heard of him but would definitely like to check him out as his music seems up my ally but I would lose the initial stickers on the body as that is automatically going to make it seem like he is trying to emulate a certain great. I said it to myself right before he did that he plays very heavy handed like Stevie used to play, but he seems to be a hell of a player. I might even check out a set of EB strings as of lately I have not been happy with my regular brand as the longevity is not what it used to be. I know that my son is the one playing my guitars till after my surgery and I always make him wash his hands before he plays but I wipe them down when he is done as if I used them and they dont seem to be holding up the same.
