A message from Erv:

I play a 1995 Fender American Standard Stratocaster and a custom Telecaster with D’Addario XL .011-.049 strings through a stock 1997 Fender Blues Deville amp. The guitar was set-up by Mason Shehan at Jason’s Music in Pasadena Maryland (410-647-3442). 

My acoustic is a Martin SP000-16 with Martin strings. I use a Boss OS-2 Distortion, a Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus, and an Ibanez Tube Screamer. I use Jim Dunlop .60mm picks.
