What was your first guitar and do you still have it?
My first guitar was an 80's Kramer Focus 6000. I acquired it from a roadie who had toured with several classic rock bands. I still have it to this day and only use it on special occasions, as it holds a lot of sentimental value for me.
What’s your favorite guitar right now and why?
Right now, most of my playing is on the Reaper, LTD EC-1000, and the 2013 Gibson Les Paul Signature T. These guitars have become my go-to instruments for various styles and purposes.
What’s your newest purchase?
My newest addition is his Schecter Diamond Series 9
How often do you play?
Adam plays about 2-2.5 hours a night. He usually uses his iPad and Bias FX programs with headphones to not bother his wife and kids.
What’s the music you are creating, what’s the mission behind it?
I am usually writing just to clear my thoughts and attempt to gain some clarity for myself. One night, I may be drawn to playing blues, while on another night, I find myself exploring metalcore, and yet another night, I might be driven towards a more classic rock sound. It all depends on which guitar and sound speaks to me on any given night.
