Guitars

• Edwards 'Jimmy Page' Les Paul (2006/2015). Stock. except tuners. This is a really nice Les Paul, after trying it I lost interest in my old Gibson Les Paul Classic and basically traded it in 1:1. Light, with a super nice neck. The SD JB in the bridge is quite hot but surprisingly useful for nasty solos.
  

• Eastman T-386 (2014?/2015). The muddy original pickups replaced with a zebra DiMarzio 36th Anniversary PAF set, switch replaced with Switchcraft and Tune-o-matic bridge with Gotoh. Really nice neck, slightly wider, with low action.

• Squire Pro-Tone Fat Telecaster (1996?/2014). Bought cheap without neck pickup. Put in DiMarzio Air Classic in the neck (bridge was already replaced with some good sounding aftermarket pickup). The neck was narrow with low frets. Kinda nice, but I wanted a wider neck, so I bought an AllParts neck and installed it. My own attempt at a nut wasn't all that good so JAM installed a new nut and polished the frets, now it's a favorite!

• Fender American Std Stratocaster (1991/2013). I wanted a strat so I got this one quite cheap, however the neck was a little wonky as the trussrod had been repaired. And it broke down after a while, so I had Anders at Paul Guy install a new neck, this time a more vintage-looking maple.

• Yamaha SE-250, red (1988/1989). This was my second guitar, and the oldest I still own. It has decent pickups and a really bad Floyd Rose imitation. I endured the tremolo during the time this was my main guitar, but one day I finally put it out of its misery by removing the springs and wedging in wood to knock the float out of it.

  The whole body, neck and all, was painted with a thick plastic finish. One weekend I removed all but the "primer" on the neck. Actually, it didn't take a whole weekend, I sanded watching evening TV.

  Recently I bolted on one of the old Epi P90's in the bridge position, which makes for a piercing twangy-surfer sound.

• Seagull S6+ Cedar, natural (2000/2001). My main acoustic guitar. It has a nice, balanced sound. Not too bright, not too dark. It has a good response when playing with fingers. The top is very lighly coated and scratches easily when playing with a pick.
• Tokai J-200, natural (?/2004). I got this one for stage use with a magnetic pickup in the soundhole - sounds actually quite good through my ordinary electric setup. Very easy to play, like a buttery Les Paul. Tuners rattled and I eventually replaced them.

Basses

• "Fender" Precision bass, natural (1980s?/2003). This is probably a japanese '57 reissue, at least it has a Fender '57 reissue neck. I just couldn't let this one go after trying it out at JAM. It has a wonderful woody response that I haven't found in many Fenders, at least not affordable ones. Records beautifully.
  
  "Fender" P-bass

• Rickenbacker 4003, Burgundyglo (1981/1998). I bought this used from an ad. It's beatiful, has a wonderful solid vibrating response when playing with your fingers that I haven't found in Fenders. Maybe it's because of the neck-through construction. It's a bit hard to record, it easily clogs up lots of frequencies. Maybe this is just me not knowing how to record. Funny sidenote: this bass was once reputedly almost bought by Christoffer Lundqvist, of Brainpool/Roxette/etc fame.
  
  Rickenbacker 4003 + Trace Elliot BLX80

• Yamaha RBX, natural (1995/1996). This is a really light mini-precision bass copy. It was the cheapest bass I could find that actually felt like a real instrument. I played on this for my entire time in The Graduates, except for the last months when I got the Rick. It's neck-heavy, but that mostly depends on the body being so light. This bass records well. It's easy to get a good clean bass sound through a Bass POD.

Amps

• VOX AC30HW2 (maybe 2014?/2016). This is a great-sounding AC30 reissue that also has a useful hot/cool channel switch. I use this with my pedal board:
  • Guitar
  • → BOSS LS-2 (used as buffer and level selector)
  • → MXR Distortion+ (good to have one distortion pre-Wah)
  • → Dunlop CAE Wah
  • → Loop-master passive looper, with 4 outputs + tuner:
    • KORG tuner
    • BOSS CS-3
    • BOSS BD-2
    • Maxon SD-9
    • Line6 Echo Park
  • → Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail
  • → AC-30
• Trace-Elliot BLX-80 (ca 1997/1998). I got this small bass combo because I needed an amp to get a gig at "Lundakarnevalen" in 1998. It only has an 8" driver, but it has a sort-of horn loaded cabinet that gives a rather good bass sound.
