Andrew is a highly-skilled musician, who's songwriting is marked with some serious musicianship and a fervent curiosity and love for musical instruments. A studied steward of the craft, his studio is filled with an incredible array of gear for which we were lucky enough to hear the sounds and stories behind a small sampling of his most beloved guitar tones.
When you’re after a particular guitar tone, Andrew comes from the school of number one most important thing is the player. After that, it doesn't matter the price on the guitar, it could be great at any cost. What matters is how it feels in your hands, what it does and how it makes you sound. When you find the right one, it’ll make you write differently and might even inspire new songs.
