reporting for duty

Happy New Year everyone!

Trevor hitting the road again gave us, as fans, the joy of fulfillment to witness him performing (which we'd all been longing for, of course) but also to see him play the guitars we know and love.  Here is the line-up of those faithful few on the 2016 ARW tour.

And as pictured here (with thanks to fellow Rabid Rabinite Kim Conlin McCall), we can see Trevor also continues to use his favorite soft red Sharkfin Goldprint plectrums.


Although Trevor's choices primarily reflected what he used on the Eighty Dates tour - his Pantera rather than his Strat for "Changes" for example - one difference was choosing to play his TR signature guitar for "Awaken" rather than the Pantera as he had previously, which might indicate a special tuning strictly for that song.
