In addition to joint projects with bass magician Abe Laboriel Jr., blues singer Etta James and Rock blues legend Peter Frampton, he also wrote the soundtracks for the films "Heartbreakers" (1984) and "The Failures" (2011) and most recently worked on his solo albums.

The combination offers a balanced setup between positions from classic warm blues punch to clear, bell-like highs, not least thanks to the push/push coil split option for both Humbucker .
