That’s probably the coolest story I’ve heard in a while. Brant is a fucking dude. Quite possibly the coolest guy in the music industry.
Last time I saw him play maybe 2022? was some double cut Ibanez thing.
This is the guitar I have seen him play live the most. In those tutorial vids he’s straight into the Marshall and it’s sounds so fuckin’ smooth.@Sparky nice one! I think I’ll save for another month or so and we’ll do the whole thing in one hit :)

I was lucky enough as my good friends booked a couple of his early gigs in Italy and from then on we saw them a bunch of times and often got a chance to hang - genuinely lovely people.
I actually got my memory tangled up as Alfredo Hernandez was never in the band, but he was there once as they were touring with Mondo Generator, except they had a fallout the night before in Germany, so MG didn't play but Alfredo was still there. Their drummer used to be a guy called Mike who went on to form a band called Biblical Proof of UFOs. He dropped by my hometown while travelling in Europe on the night Italy defeated Germany in the 2006 world cup semi final and we ended up hanging out and soaking in the post football buzz. Great times!
@Dooks-Fatberg my recommendation would be Jalamanta and if you play one song only make it Automatic Fantastic. The smoothness @edmundro speaks of will reveal itself in spades.

That actually rings a bell! We played with BB&tB a few times and I actually had a conversation with him about that and it being an old old Squier of sorts, though that was nigh on 20 years ago, fair to say the memories are hazy (for a few reasons...).
Last time I saw them was in 2008, by which time Alfredo Hernandez wasn't in the lineup and Giampaolo was the drummer for the European dates and I seem to remember him rocking an SG of sorts at that point.
