Where Ross Lives

Stacey the Psycho Hosebeast: Ross' first guitar. It is a chrome-copy of a Gibson SG that Ross placed a Gibson decal on. Gets 'em every time.
Red: Ross' baby. A red OLP Musicman, just like what Eddie Van Halen played in the early 90s.
Isabelle: Black Typhoon Les Paul. Great sound, will probably become Ross' #1.
Marion: Ross' first acoustic. Excellent sound. Covered in burns and melt-marks, from God-knows-what.
Esmerlda the Pirate Wench: Ross' 12-string acoustic. Loves it.
Betty Boop: Ross' red 1985/86 Sessions bass. With its basic colour and pointed headstock, it is a seminal 80s instrument.
