Here, Ray talks about some of his favorite gear!
Ray's CP Thornton HTL2
CP THORNTON HTL 2 GUITAR
Chuck Thornton makes some of the best musical instruments on the planet! So when Chuck called and said he wanted to build a guitar for me, well, I was completely beside myself! This is hands down the best Strat I've ever owned. Old growth Nootka Cedar boday, torrefied maple neck, Harmonic Design pickups, SuperVee bridge with Highwood saddles and Chuck's amazing two-tone Hot Rod finish, making this HTL#580 one very special guitar! - Thanks Chuck!
I talk all about my HTL#580 in this video:
AUSTIN SPEAKER WORKS
If you like the sound of Celestions then you'll LOVE the sound of Austin Speaker Works speakers! I used a combination of a KTS-70 and and an Elegante on NOMAD CITY's self titled EP. The combination of a ceramic speaker with an alnico was a nice complement. In my live rig I have two KTS-70's in my speaker cab.

The B1G is simply amazing. Turn it on once, and you'll never want to turn it off. especially with single coils and strats. It's basically a Neve 1073 in a stompbox. Great for electric guitars, acoustic guitars vocals, bass, or almost anything you put through it will sound better as a result. The B1G is truely amazing!
