Session Ace Adam Goldsmith rounded off 2016 by having a rig overhaul, but there’s one piece of gear that looks set to stick for 2017 and beyond
Thinking about the annual gear pilgrimage to NAMM coming up, and having just returned from playing in the house orchestra for ‘Sports Personality Of The Year’ (well done Andy Murray!), I’m now off to treat myself at my friend John’s excellent guitar shop, Peach Guitars, in sunny Essex. I’ve had my eye on a lovely Gibson Custom ’63 reissue ES-335 he’s had in for a while. The 335, for me, is the perfect guitar and I’d never want to turn up on a session without one. It was my first ‘proper’ guitar when I was young and despite going round the houses with many different makes and styles, I think I got it right the first time around.
