Originally, it was called the Classic 50s model and had a maple neck. It ended up as a partscaster with new pickups, a rosewood fingerboard, and a Callahan compensated bridge plate with brass saddles. It’s my number one guitar and sounds great! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676390358330-HTJEUHMF8XWJQ25Y1CB6/IMG_0473.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Guild Acoustic I purchased this acoustic in 1987 at Matt Umanov Guitars in West Village. After my guitar tech, Ritchie, performed his magic, the sound came alive, especially in open tunings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1677750148365-DU8Y7WU31DTBXYBGMV1C/IMG_1240.jpg Mick’s Gear - Richie’s Guitar Shop At Richie’s getting my Guild set-up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676390356467-R0RRV3MX2VC6TFV5J71I/IMG_0583.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Gibson Les Paul Me, down in the basement in 1977 with my Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Gold Top. This was my first electric. My mom, RIP, helped me purchase it in 1976 for $439, and I played it constantly until 1983. I had some modifications done on her a few years ago, including new humbucking pickups, and a set of original tulip style tuners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676916433809-312UFYYQKXOTXJRSTIFR/IMG_1611.jpeg Mick’s Gear - My Les Paul My 1973 Les Paul upgraded with humbucker pickups and original tulip style tuners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676921239958-B7XOGGOS94KE4EMMBNV8/lp01.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Les Paul volume and tone knobs Years ago, I attached white speed knobs to my Les Paul. They looked cool at the time, but not better than the originals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676390826351-RYTW25NIS35A9LTLFD56/IMG_0010.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Gretsch Electromatic I bought this guitar in 2006 when I started playing rockabilly. It has a super comfortable neck and nice sounding DeArmond single coil pickups. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676920442406-8YQWD8UBXIXRPFKW2753/axe+attack_2.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Attack! I’m being attacked by my guitars, including my black Charvel bass I purchased in the early 1990s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676918733933-5TOF2KIEFD3QIH2XXLT2/IMG-1558.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Camel Cigarette Amp I can’t remember where I purchased this tiny amp. It has a decent distorted fuzz sound, and runs on a 9-volt battery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676389687699-IHJZVYQHHF323AC7N2RU/IMG_1537.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Black Star Amp I use this small cube amp for practice at low volume. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676389689256-PNNHKHET1PGC1QLAIGDT/IMG_1539.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Black Star controls Here’s the top control panel of the Black Star amp. It has a gain control and you can also adjust EQ and delay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676389690825-CFR1A0V66YETC8DDNDT0/IMG_1524.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Maxon Overdrive If I only could use one pedal with my Telecaster, this would be it! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676389694168-2KUBJTGG0GDXLSM5LKH1/IMG_1528.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Electro-Harmonix Small Clone I purchased this pedal after hearing “Come As You Are” by Nirvana. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676389695725-J7NXQTNLI278RDFFV593/IMG_1521.jpeg Mick’s Gear - JangleBox I bought this used on eBay about ten years ago. I wanted to have the rhythm guitar sound like The Byrds, REM, and Tom Petty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676389698007-QBUKO8OAC7OK5MKGKXOH/IMG_1522.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Electro-Harmonix 360 Looper I use this pedal primarily for practice. I can record a rhythm guitar part or a blues progression, and solo over it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676389699473-B6H3IOPC9HDFN0Q3SNVV/IMG_1526.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Pink Floyd I bought this fuzz pedal after hearing David Gilmour of Pink Floyd on the live version of “Let There Be More Light.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676389700816-G0WVK10DRZ0W7NGTRKTY/IMG_1525.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Pignose amp I bought the battery-powered Pignose amp years ago for outdoor jam sessions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/1676389702766-X5DL678XZKE84K3VBBHR/IMG_1531.jpeg Mick’s Gear - Korg Pandora PX4 Effects Processor I can’t remember when I bought this device, but it was probably in the mid 1990s. Similar to modeling technology, I can dial in multiple classic amp configurations and sounds. I used it to record my original instrumental, “Claymore Battle.” (You can hear it at bottom of my About page. https://www.mickreno.com/riffs daily 0.75 2026-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a1128dbe81401c825b09b6/596c55fa-1abc-4341-969c-5eec9e862626/C6A62CC8-9C67-4460-BDAE-CEE6DBC407C4.jpeg The Classics - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
