I don't know everything about guitars and equipment, but I know what I like and what I think sounds cool - but it is all subjective. Just because I like something, does not mean that you will.

Trust your own judgment, and make sure you check out stuff personally before you buy it, don't take my word, or anyone else's - go to the store and check it out... then buy it online if it's cheaper :) lol

Guitars

GG-501 • REVIEW - GRB Kokocaster
Gordon from GRB donated this guitar for me because he liked the web site. He was not a pushy guy and seemed really cool so I have done a review of his guitar, even though it is not one that I play very much. It is a very cool mid priced instrument!

Justin's Sponsors

I am very lucky to have a good relationship with a few companies that I really dig. In every case I was already a fan of the equipment and then approached them for a deal. I don't use things because they are cheap or they offer an artist deal. I buy stuff cos I like the sound of it. These sponsors help me out heaps, so thanks guys!!

DR Strings - I think they are the best sounding and longest lasting strings.

Maton Acoustic Guitars - The best acoustics that money can buy!

The Gig Rig Pedal Switcher - the heart of my pedal board.

TC Electronic Effects - I use the G-System for my acoustic guitar. I did use it for electric too but now I use the gig rig and a bunch of pedals.

Mesa Boogie Amplifiers - I no longer use Mesa products but they are great amps. Tastes change over time but these amps sound amazing. I am just after more old school sound these days...
