Like many musicians, Nath's pretty particular about his gear, mainly because he's particular about his sound.
Gear's a pretty personal thing, of course; what works for one musician may not be worth much to another.
But if you're wondering just what gear Nath uses when he plays out and records at home, the following list will give you an idea--from guitars, strings, amp, pickup, and mics to recorder, headphones, computer, and software.
