| CHUCK MILLER'S GUITAR RIG |
Left To Right:
Roland G505 Guitar: a candy
apple red GR guitar synth
"controller" made before
the advent of the Roland GK
guitar synth pickup, which
can now be put on any
guitar. Immediately after I
bought it, I had Mike Koontz
refret it with Dimarzio
Jumbo frets, install EMG
pickups, an EMG onboard
booster, a mirror pickguard,
Grover tuning heads, and a
Floyd Rose locking nut and
tremolo bar system (which
is actually a "vibrato"
tailpiece).
1983 Roland G707 Guitar,
Silver, modified with EMG
pickups, EMG onboard
booster, Schaller tuning
heads and a Washburn
locking tremelo system.

| I started performing with bands for money in 1963. Back then, my mother had to drive me to gigs. One of the most important things that I have learned since then is that you have to have two of everything you perform with. The show must always go on and in you don't get paid for shows you can't play because of broken equipment. I always gig with at least two guitars, two amps, two guitar effects processors, two pedal boards and two tuners. |

| I run my guitar rig in stereo, with a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe amp on each side of the stage. I plug my guitar first into a Vox Wah Wah, then to my Korg DTR-1 Tuner, then to the two Hot Rod Deluxe amps. Everything is connected with Monster Rock guitar cables. |
