12 String Guitar : A 25 year old Aria 12W12T with Mimisis in hole pickup.
An accomplished 12 string expert, Nick's ability and feel are well known and respected within the music community. Rhythmically exciting and powerful, his style is tempered with an impressive finger picking technique. He is also one of the few 12 string slide players around. |
 |
Strings : Nick has owned his Aria 12 string since he was 18 and has used pretty much every string on the market. Gigging at least twice a week and recording monthly demands a string he can rely on. Nick says: "I’ve been using Martin Strings solidly for the last 8 years and am still amazed at clarity, reliability and quality. I’ve been using Martin Acoustic SP ultralights recently and love the richness and tone they give to my 12 string. I recommend Martin strings to everyone that takes their playing seriously." |
