If you've found yourself here, you either clicked the wrong button, or you are actually interested in the stuff the Toys use to create our insane brand of wacky music. Read on, intrepid guest, at your own peril (sure, perhaps a bit melodramatic, but who cares!)
Ned - Guitars
Custom Telecaster with Duncan 59 in neck, JB in bridge with single coil taps on push-pull volume/tone. Built by Guitar Works in Evanston, IL back in 1994. Painted by Mark Scime of Rocket Refinishers in Chicago.
Amp
77 Fender Princeton Reverb>- When I bought it the amp had seen better days. I had a Deluxe Reverb output transformer put in, new caps, and overall got the electronics back into blackface specs. With some NOS Mazda 6V6 tubes and a new Jensen reissue 10" speaker, this is now sounds like a Fender Deluxe Reverb with 22 watts, but in the size and weight of a Princeton. I had the work done by Harbor Music which is now my go-to shop for guitars, amp work, and fun pedals - Scott the owner is great and also builds custom pedalboards.

Steve
Steve's yellow Pearl Rocker drum set is the same he's had since high school, with some of the rusty parts replaced. Since Steve plays drums, he usually doesn't need amplification - he's plenty loud on his own! We haven't played anywhere yet where people are screaming "I can't hear your drummer!" yet.
