Chafin Custom Guitars are truly handbuilt custom 1 of 1's of each model he offers. There is no mass production building. World renowned Master Luthier, Artist, Craftsman Ben Chafin handbuilds each and every one of these masterpieces, and gives attention to the smallest of details. Play one of these Chafin beauties the: Ember, Helios, Targa, St. Croix, or the all new Volante. You will be amazed at the feel in your hands, and the sound in your ears. I can attest to this I currently own 4 Chafin Customs, the very first Ember the "Holy Grail" and I am also fortunate enough to own the 1st regular production Ember built with a mahogany body and quilted maple top. I own the Summer 2004 NAMM Show quilted maple top Helios with the Ben Chafin designed Sun Sonic bridge, as well as a Volante Custom Semi Hollow with flame maple top. I currently have the Prototype Targa on hold. Instead of taking multiple models of different guitars, I can take one model or all on stage and never require any adjustments to my amps. Consistent Tone, that's important to me,and these guitars have it!

"It Delivers the Soul" Doug Sewell is the premiere hand built amplifier guru. I have searched for years for the perfect tone and sound from an amplifier to match my style of playing. Doug has taken the best qualities of the fine vintage amps of days long gone and tweaked their quality sound and tone to perfection. I have found the perfect match of amplifier, guitar,to give me the total tonal pallette that I have been searching for.

As a former B3 player who loves the Leslie cabinet sound, I have searched and failed to find a pedal that could emmulate all the true Leslie rotary cabinet characteristics. That was until I discovered the DLS RotoSIM tm. DLS made sure this effect has all the adjustments any musician could want to dial in any type of rotary speaker cabinet sound imaginable. The Tweeter and Bass adjustments allow you to add or reduce the amount of horn intensities. Fast and Slow speed panel pots allow the rotation speeds to be dialed to taste along with the Ramp time. Use this effect with or without the internal overdrive circuit which simulates clipping like the real deal.

I use the Route 66 Overdrive/Compressor to get that woman like voicing that Eric Clapton made famous.

"D'Addario stings, I have been using the same strings for 45 years. The best tone and longevity of any guitar string period. I only use XL 110s and XL EJ 21s, on all my guitars. The same great sweet sound and fat tone, feel, and playability set after set. That's what I want and expect night after night."

"In my 40+ years of playing this is the most innovative tool for guitar players.I only wish they had been invented when I first began to play. Dave I have to give you my thanks for such a great idea and invention. Super!!!"

As a performer who likes to interact with the audience, Samson Airline Wireless is the way I go. I never worry about signal dropoff, or tonal coloring with my Samson Airline system, it delivers what I expect consistently.

The Industry standard, so why try something different. I use Shure SM57 and SM58 microphone, and have never been let down.

The vital link to any performers sound are the cables used. Monster Cable fulfills that vital link with the best engineered cables on the market.
