| Denny Ballard | Jamming/Fun | Commercial work | I use a Martin HD28M for acoustic recording. That's a mahogany version of an HD28. I find mahogany is more balanced and works better in recording situations. I had to thin my herd when hard times hit, but things are getting better. I recently bought a Huss and Dalton OOO Custom, all mahogany top, back and sides. For electric projects, I play one of two souped up Fender telecasters. One was built by Joe Barden and has 3 Barden pickups. It's very versatile and I can get just about any sound I want with a little tweaking. The Barden humbuckers have a marvelous tone and there is no hum. The other is a Fender custom shop Baja telecaster. It has a custom Twisted Tele neck pickup and a custom Broadcaster bridge pickup. It's got more twang than the other tele and I'm really beginning to like the sound of it. | Yes |
