"In Hollywood, you'll be called to produce top-quality music on a moment's notice, meaning that you need to put on new strings that immediately have the right tone and tuning, and that only happens with Thomastik-Infeld strings.

As a guitarist obsessed with tone, I've tried all possible brands and combinations. For nylon, the CLASSIC GUITAR deliver the power and warmth I crave. For steel, I need balance and sustain on strings that cut through the mix, so I choose the SPECTRUM^® BRONZE. Since I tend to play with my fingers more than using a pick, for electric guitars I use the JAZZ SWING^® for the hollow-body and the BLUES SLIDERS^® for the solid-body, therefore making sure the quality of tone is consistent across the whole gamut of guitars that I record.”
