The style is very ornate and wood-heavy; convene with dozens of your closest friends for an epic feast under huge chandeliers hanging from exposed beam ceilings. Take a dip in the stone-surround pool with waterfall, or watch a horse give birth in one of the four birthing stalls included in the onsite barn. This is country living to the max, baby.

His rack setup’s signal goes through the Shure wireless receivers into a Radial JX44 and then splits out to the Fender Super 60 for his clean tone and a pair of Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifiers for his overdrive sound. He keeps the same basic signal flow but inserts a Fractal Audio Axe-Fx II and a Line 6 Echo Pro. He also uses a Radial PZ-Pre and an ISP Decimator in the effects loop of the JX44.
