I often think about my Music Man guitars being 100 million percent tailored to my needs as a player and how lucky I am.

I have to say that our fans have been absolutely wonderful all across the world.

A lot of people around the world were, like, very frustrated, you know "Why don't you just release the name? Why is it taking so long?" But the cool thing is that it brought people together, like you said, it brought our fans into the experience, it sort of exposed us, exposed the process, and I think it welcomed Mike Magini, because people saw what happened to get to that point.

We're always in that head space about the audience and less about us at that moment.

Sometimes I'll hear a certain approach that kinda cathes my ear, like „It's kinda cool what that guy's doing there", or maybe an effect that somebody's using, or a guitar sound, or something that kinda makes me open up. But the funny thing is i realise over time how sort of traditional i am.

You try to play the song better than you had before.

I think I'm a father, but a father of three kids! :)
