Mike Stern
Mike Stern (born January 10, 1953) is an American jazz guitarist.
After playing for a few years with Blood, Sweat & Tears, he landed a gig with drummer Billy Cobham and then broke through with trumpeter Miles Davis' comeback band from 1981 to 1983, and again in 1985.
Following that he launched a solo career, releasing more than a dozen albums.
He was hailed as the Best Jazz Guitarist of 1993 by Guitar Player magazine, and in 2009 was listed on Down Beat's list of 75 best jazz guitar players.GuitarsAn early and important guitar for Stern was a hybrid 1950s/1960s Fender Telecaster, previously owned by Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton, which was stolen from him in an armed robbery in Boston.
This guitar is the basis for a custom-made guitar built by Boston-based luthier Michael Aronson, which has a Telecaster style body with an original 1950's Broadcaster neck.
There is a Seymour Duncan humbucker in the neck position and a Bill Lawrence single coil in the bridge.The Aronson guitar is in turn the basis for the Yamaha PA511MS, the Mike Stern signature model.
The neck position pickup is a Seymour Duncan '59 and it has a Tele Hot Rail in the bridge.Stern uses Fender nickel-wound strings, .011 - .038.AmplifiersStern uses a pair of Fender '65 Twin Reverb amps or his famous Yamaha G100-212.EffectsStern's highly recognizable chorused sound is created in part by a Yamaha SPX-90, split for stereo.
His pedal board mostly consists of Boss pedals.
He uses two Boss DD-3 digital delays, one of which is set to a long delay time for "big, spacey sounds." His distortion pedal is a Boss DS-1.
