#rk50

1. My 40 year challenge with my toy, but tunable/playable Bee Gees guitar. 2. Shredding some Van Halen on the Fender Mustang I bought to trick out to swap with my friend @scottlynchart to get my Ibanez/Tatalias hybrid back. 3. Putting the @chapmanguitars ML1 @rabeaafro through its paces. Man, does that guitar sound good! 4. With @litafordofficial at the @thenammshow show in January 2019. She is hands down the coolest person I've ever met. I don't mean Rockstar, or guitarist, or whatever...I mean the coolest human being. Periodt! I hope she's at NAMM 2020! 5. A #tbt pic I posted from when I met @captain_anderton on my trip to London in 2017. Took a day trip to Guilford to visit @andertonsmusicco and @bradtyler86 was kind enough to call to Lee saying a tourist from New York City was there. Lee came down and we chatted and even went to his office to fetch his @prsguitars 594SC for me to play. 9 months later, I'd become a Chapman artist at NAMM 2018. 6. My "Strat Evolution Revolution" photo from just this past week featuring my heavily modded @fender @richie_kotzen Strat and my brand new baby, my @andersonguitarworks Guardian Angel Player. 7. A work in progress shot of my studio rack containing 3 of my @victoryampsuk amps, the #rk50, the #v30countess and the #vxkraken, my @fender #richiekotzen strat and my @charvelusa @guthrie.govan I had painted transparent turquoise. 8. A full wide shot of my home studio wall which changes constantly. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 9. And lastly, my turquoise #guthriegovan with the rack of Victory Amps as well as my #v140superduchess, which is the best amp I've ever owned. ❤️ I am currently mixing drums and working on tracks, but wanted to make my New Year's Eve post while I had the time. As a drink slinger in New York City, I have to work tonight and it will be hectic, as you can imagine. So to everyone tagged, following, or randomly seeing this post, I wish you a Very Happy New Year! ❤️🍾 #happynewyear #happynewyear2020 #guitar #guitarist #homerecording #homestudio https://www.instagram.com/p/B6v_dOQnAmA/?igshid=15t0pj5vponn1

On today's episode of, "What the hell is he rearranging in his home studio this time?", I'm rearranging speaker cabinets to make a cozy new spot for my @victoryampsuk V140, assembling the new rack for the patch bays, interface, power, amp switcher, OX, and Victory lunchbox heads. Then...running all the wires... 😳 While drinking the largest iced coffee @starbucks offers, listening to Gary Moore Live Blues (with many distractions to stop and look at the screen) in a very cool @ironmaiden Eddie in Ft. Lauderdale t-shirt! All while cursing UPS'S flawless handling of the Victory package containing the rack ears to mount the heads in the rack which, as you can see in the last pic, is comical and frustrating. But life is really good and I am keeping my perspective in check.🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻 Special shout out to @uniqueinkjohnrizzi who is a ridiculously talented artist who does AMAZING work with a tattoo gun! 🙌🏻 #victoryamps #richiekotzen #rk50 #v30countess #vxkraken #oxamptopbox #garymoore #garymooreliveblues #uniqueink #uniqueinktorringtonct https://www.instagram.com/p/BzMaSQIHC8W/?igshid=lmpfwpw7enho

A still from the Mrs. Smith Bob Ross Technique video (link in bio) shot by Drew Kaufman (@diet_hellboy). My @chapmanguitars @rabeaafro #ml3bea and my @victoryampsuk @richie_kotzen #RK50 with custom V212 cab were the rig of choice for this shoot! We played along to help feel the song as we mimicked along and all I wanted to do was crank it up. It sounded SOOOOO good in that venue...🤤 🤘🏻💜🤘🏻 Studded @nastypig vest by @stose #chapmanguitars #victoryamps #rabeamassaad #richiekotzen #mrssmith #mrssmithandtherage #bobross #bobrosstechnique #guitar #guitarist #forhire #havepassportwilltravel #notafraidtofly https://www.instagram.com/p/BnzIVY6nTZL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3sc3k1agc0j6

@smithcatmrs video shoot at @thecuttingroom.nyc with @diet_hellboy, @paulamorese & @alotabass. @victoryampsuk #RK50 and @chapmanguitars @rabeaafro #ml3bea doing the work. #mrssmith #mrssmithandtherage #bobross #chapmanguitars #victoryamps (at The Cutting Room)

Before @jeffmadorephotography went home to Florida, we did a quick shoot in my home studio. He got great shots of me with my guitars and my wall of @victoryampsuk. These photos spotlight my @fender @fender_jp @richie_kotzen signature guitars. I'm a total fanboy and I'm fine with that. He's one of the greatest guitarists in the world and one of the greatest singers breathing air in our atmosphere too! AND...he plays all the instruments on all his studio albums up until now. It's...it's ridiculous! So, there are much sillier people to fanboy/girl over! 🤷🏼‍♂️ I wanted a strat and a tele in my arsenal so this was a way to satisfy my inner fanboy and have a great strat and tele! The tele is a devastating pillar of tone! It crushes just about everything. I think it's the enormous neck! 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻The strat isn't available in the states (they should really fix that) so I found a 2016 #fenderfsr model made for Europe brand new in a shop in Holland last year. There is a lot of significance for me as I received the guitar the week my father passed and I had it with me the night I last saw him alive and used it to write a song for him on the train ride back to NYC from CT. #fender #fenderjapan #richiekotzen #richiekotzenstrat #richiekotzentele #victoryamps #rk50 #oxamptopbox #laneyirtx #guitar #guitarist #homestudio #homerecording

The backdrop is complete! Time to start shooting... #guitar #guitarist #homestudio #homerecording #victoryamps #V30 #RK50 #VXKraken #V40 #youtube #chapmanguitars (at Astoria, New York)

@richie_kotzen hadn't seen the new issue of @guitarconnoisseurmagazine in person yet so he got to flip through mine before he signed it! Then I showed him all my RK gear, the @victoryampsuk #RK50 and the @fender #richiekotzenstrat and #richiekotzentele. Then, in my typical fear of seeming imposing, I shook his hand and bailed...totally forgetting to take a pic. 🤦🏼‍♂️ (at NAMM Show)

The contrast of the distinguished, vintage, black @gibsonguitar Les Paul Custom and the elegant, crisp, white @victoryampsuk #RK50 is a not intoxicating. (at Astoria, New York)
