Oz Noy met with Premier Guitar before his June show at Nashville's 3rd & Lindsley where session ace Brent Mason joined him for a jam. Noy unleashes fun, non-pretentious blues-drenched jazz that's fueled by classic Strat and Tele tones, tube amps, and a creative use of stomps.

Guitars
Oz Noy is a full-on Fender player. His #1 is a 1968 Fender Custom Shop Relic Stratocaster, built to his specifications. This Strat features big frets on a rosewood fretboard and an alder body. Its neck and middle pickups are Custom Shop '69s wound by Abigail Ybarra, and the bridge pickup is a Custom Shop Fat '50s that was overwound by Lindy Fralin.

Noy's #2 is a 1958 Fender Custom Shop Relic Telecaster with an ash body and stock Fender pickups. Its maple neck sports slightly larger frets like his Strat.
