What one piece of equipment do you use to obtain your signature sound?
Cregg: Takamine 12 string acoustic/electric.
What about it makes it so important to you?
Cregg: Tuned “openly”, the 12er provides BHC with one of the key elements in our sound.
What are the major pros and cons?
Cregg: Pros, among other aspects, is the cut-away, which allows for maximum fret play. Also the built in electronics, and tuner; absolutely essential elements. Cons…Umm, can’t think of any.
How long have you used this piece of equipment and would you ever change it?
Cregg: Been playing Takamine for almost 15 years, and it’s an extremely reliable guitar.
Any final thoughts or comments on the gear?
Cregg: Support live music!
