| This GTR was made by a young luthier, Gustavo Brancatti and had the "ok" from a guitarrist known as Pat Metheny. A small and heavy gtr with medium gauge (010) strings with a GK3 attached. | It seens like a SG but it's a Ookpik, my first electric and it was in a corner for years. My friend Ricardo Calafate did the fretless scale and Rodrigo Nahar installed the Fernades Sustainer. It's now a completely diferent instrument. | This small GTR it's excellent behind keyboards and to travel. I discovered its great sounds capabilities while recording the bonus tracks for STOA. The strings are light (09) gauge. | My main axe with the quartet Hora do Rush. I love the feel of the Ovation GTRs. Look the GK2 pickup attached. I use medium gauge (10) here. I also tryed a light (09) set, but the sound it's not the same. |

| I always loved the sound of the 12 strings guitars. Over the years I owned many diferent ones. Now this is the one I'm using it with a light set of strings. I can't bend any pair of strings but it's easy to play it. | I bought this one in 2010, after playing a similar Taylor at Pro-Music I fell in love with its rich tone, size and feel. I'm not sure if I will add a GK2 at this one. It has a heavy gauge (12) set of the excellents Exile strings. | This is my third acoustic/electric guitar. It was made by Mr. Barros, a luthier from Volta Redonda - (Brazil) and it has a fantastic acoustic sound. One of the best nylon GTR I played over the years. It has Fishman electronics and it comes with Gianini strings. | I have to make a confession: this bass is not mine. My brother Beto Frega, leaved it with me. It's a Del Vechio from the 50s, one of the first one made in Brazil. It's a model called Beatles and designed by Mr. Angelo Del Vecchio. A fretless bass, with Fender electronics by Filipe Cavalieri. |

| This one features a solid Alder body, mated to a slim, vintage-style Maple neck and full two-octave Rosewood fingerboard. It has black bridge and tuners. The pick guard was lost somewhere. Active hum-canceling single-coil pickups easily make subtle or dramatic tonal changes. Very interesting to get some deep sounds. | I found this one lying somewhere at Pro-Music and take it home. It sounds exactly how it looks. This bass will be here for a long time. | An electric mandolim by Aplause. Is not easy to play this beast. The arm is too thin and small. I like the electronics and the electric sound. | A typical "Guitarra Portuguesa" made in Brasil. This one doesn't have the ornaments of the original guitars, but it is well done. Twelve strings, a special sound, but forget what you know about tunnig with this one. |

from my keyboards. I will try to do some of them. |
