Question For Mr. Hess

Hey sir. I know your more of the unpluged kind of guitar player, but just to talk shop; what are you into as far as electric guitars? What would your dream electric guitar be?

Thanks man,

-Chris

Vinnie Bell circa 1960' or 2nd choice a 1935 Epiphone grand.

David,
Are those hollow bodies? Semi-hollow bodies? Do you ever play solid body electrics?

Hollow Bodies, Rocky. I noodled with the solids, but I'm basically a folk/rock guitarist, so feedback and all the other good electronic sounds were not my bag. I left them up to the pro's and did my rhythm/lead singer/writer stuff.

Right on man. Love the Epiphone grand. You would never concider an electric?

Hey Chris,
Not that I wouldn't consider, just that it isn't necessary for what I do...Don't forget, I'm a composer first and a guitarist 2nd...It's a repartory business and we've got to let people display their individual expertise. I write and sing and produce. I use the guitar as an adjunct to what I do. I'm not a ripper, but I enjoy rippin' on my own. So much for the epiphone and...Oh...I love the Micky Baker solid body from Gibson, but he was a personal friend of mine, so maybe I'm a little predjudiced.

Right on. I hear ya there. As far as a Gibson Micky Baker, I do not think I have ever seen one.

On another note, how often do you come to AZ to play? I would love to come see ya live!

-Chris

P.S. Its awesome and an honnor to talk with ya. I have been a big fan for a long time!
