I'll always do the guitar parts since it's my main instrument.

I'll always leave the same set of strings on my guitars when I'm recording. If I break one I'll just replace it instead of putting on a whole new set of strings.

My guitar is not a thing. It is an extension of myself. It is who I am.

Experimenting with different sounds is great, but when it comes down to it, you're still playing a guitar.

If you are a writer or any kind of artist, if you change something as fundamental as where you live - the way you live - then I think you change the very instrument that is trying to make the art.

I really worked to try and be creative enough on the guitar parts so those who aren't real educated would know that there was some difficulty in doing it.

I have one custom guitar which I play almost exclusively. I have others - sometimes you want a little texture, kind of a different sound or something.

Most of my guitars have been instruments that look cool. I'm not picky. I never think, 'Oh, this neck isn't made of ebony,' or, 'These strings don't feel correct.' It doesn't matter too much.

Sometimes the nicest thing to do with a guitar is just look at it.

I'm not the kind of guy who deserves to play a vintage guitar because I'm too rough on instruments.
