Background

I’m the singer/guitarist for San Francisco-based garage rock band Abatis. I cut my teeth on the records of Soundgarden and Mudhoney, drowning myself in ’90s grunge rock.

Make & Model

Gibson SG Special Satin Ebony

What It Means To You

I have many guitars, but none of them have endured this much punishment.

What It Sounds Like

Bought at the devil’s garage sale, she’s a fuzzy beast, a natural rock monster. Pair it with a Redwitch Fuzz God stompbox and thank me later.

Future Mods

All stock currently, dreaming of putting ’59 Seymour Duncan Hot Rod pickups in the neck and bridge positions.

And Those, Ahem,  “Special” Markings?

Chips, dings, dents, and falls from great heights.

Can Be Heard On

“Headpowers” on Electric Dead and on our upcoming sophomore record.
