“A narrowed collection focused on ear-led sensitivity, discipline, and the quiet joy of the home studio. Fewer things, but things that belong.”
1. The Legacy (For my two girls)
Instruments held for their financial and musical future.
- 1996 Gibson Custom Shop ’56 Les Paul Goldtop R6 — “Regent”
P90 grit meets historic Custom Shop weight. - [Reserved for Second Legacy Piece]
Currently seeking a worthy counterpart.
2. The Home Guard
The daily voices that resonate with my personal creative journey.
- 1988 Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster — “Red”
The Torino Red veteran. Active mid-boost soul. - 2023 Fender Haruna Telecaster Boost — “Spring”
The punchy J-rock spark. - 2023 Müb Miezo 18″/5 — “Enza”
The 18-inch game-changer. Sub-frequency magic in a compact frame.
3. The Workhorses
The dependable tools for songwriting, late-night sets, and simple fun.
- 2025 Fender(Squier) x Hello Kitty® Stratocaster® — “Niko”
Stripped-back single-humbucker rock machine. - 2017/2018 Seagull Artist Mosaic — “Joni”
The acoustic foundation. - 2025 AKAI MPK Mini IV — “Mindy”
The digital architect.
