The late Jeff Healey was a Canadian jazz and blues-rock guitarist and vocalist. If you didn't know him kids, checkout the songs "Angel eyes" and "Stuck in the middle with you". For even more cool Jeff Healey moments, checkout the movie roadhouse. Jeff not only played the guitar damn well, he did so blind.
Let's look at some of the gear and equipment that has been seen in Jeff's guitar rig.
