And that’s how you promote your newest and latest signature guitars. All three of them showcasing their signature guitars from 3 different brands yet making it work seamlessly. All 3 guitars look and sound amazing. And mark’s playing and style is so smooth and effortless. He just glides around the neck and the way he picks is an artform in itself. They always seem to plan out and release some kind of signature products right when a new album is released either from one of the band members or multiple members or all of them haha. So smart too cause doing Playthroughs like this really gives the guitars the spotlight they deserve. and halpern has a signature stack from Meinl, signature sticks from pro mark, had a ton of input with the innovation and testing of the evens heavyweight heads, and his previous mapex wraith brass snare and now his current signature pearl brass snare drum and all of the other members all have signature guitars from Jackson, prs, Ibanez, and if you count nolly which I still do, then he’s got his signature dingwall basses.
