SPB: What guitar do you use in your solo material, and how did choose this model?

Kepi: Lately is has been a Martin 00-15M acoustic. I am on my 2nd one! I got one a little over 10 years ago, I think. I played over 500 shows on it and it was signed by Daniel Johnston! It got broken by an airline but they made good and replaced it. I have been playing #2 since 2016 and since shelter one place has begun, I have recorded and posted 115 daily “pick me up” songs almost exclusively on that guitar (2-3 might have been a cappella!)

When it comes to electric I play an Eastwood “Jetson jr. / Ghoulie Green,” a “signature” model that Eastwood made a couple dozen of, to my specs with a little kepi skull on it! Yay!

Ramones in Love
Pirates Press (2023)

The (rightful) knock on many of the “old punks gone solo” is that it’s a person with an acoustic guitar, playing stripped down punk that kind of all sounds the same by the time the record ends. Add the concept of this record, a Ramones covers album, and you likely already expect a lot of that “sameness factor.” Ramones in … Read more
