While Ed's guitar of choice might be the Stratocaster, he also has the right tool for the job, be it jazz, acoustic, nylon string and more. He's a collector as well, and there are some prized possessions any guitar fan would love to have.

For Ed, an amp should be quick and dirty. here are some of his favorites for the smallest clubs to the finest concert halls:

We all know what the horde of pedal boards, stomp boxes, racks and laptop rigs can do to give any player a pile of sounds. Again, here Ed keeps it quick and dirty with just a couple of pieces that get the job done.

The computers, the interfaces, mics, input keyboards and software used to get it "on tape" (Tape?):

Ed uses Apple Macintoshes, iTunes and an extended wireless Airport network to bring music to any room in the house. Remote amps and speaker pairs are connected and can be switched on to listen to anything playing on the master computer and it's iTunes library and playlist. Also, any of Ed's laptops or any guest computer can be recognized wirelessly (so long as they have an Airport card-any machine less that 5 years old should) and play it's p[laylist through the system or see the master playlist and choose songs to play. Very convenient, very slick. ALSO-Ed uses Apple TV to play photos, bought and rented television shows or movies in his home theater.
