Stringjoy Strings
In the pursuit of tone, strings play a more major part than you would think. Stringjoy Strings provide the fullness, balance and longevity to make it through long, energetic shows without losing life and brilliance. Mike uses Foxwoods on his acoustic guitars and Orbiters on his electrics.
Analysis Plus Cables
I never knew a cable could make such a massive difference in tone until I first tried an Analysis Plus cable. It’s unmistakable and worth every penny. We invest so much into instruments, amps, pedals, etc. It’s a no brainer to make sure all that tone reaches your amp intact. I use Analysis instrument cables, microphone cables and power cables. They all make such an immense positive impact on my tone.
Tyde Ukuleles
Tyde is truly in a realm all their own, forging a unique path in the world of Ukulele. Using highly figured and reclaimed tone woods, each instrument they craft has a unique voice and aesthetic. Mike plays a custom Tyde “Love Not War” Baritone Ukulele.
