Mike Norris is here! Yes! Mike is a great friend and monster guitar player, and also my personal style guide.
Mike is playing an American Vintage Reissue Olympic White Stratocaster AND an American Vintage Reissue Telecaster Custom, and I'm playing my Gretsch Anniversary 6117 modified with TV Jones pickups.
Mike’s amp is a Fender '65 Princeton Reverb reissue (http://amzn.to/2u4oFvF), mic'd with a Royer R121 ribbon, through a Vintech Audio X73i preamp into Pro Tools.
