Tim Mahoney is the lead guitar player in the band 311. Before 311 he was in a band called The Bushmen. I think you'll see that Tim has a relatively large guitar rig.
The focus of this gear list is on his most recent 2008 guitar rig. We want to see the new stuff right - not the old stuff! :) Let's look at some of the gear and equipment that has been seen in Tim's rig.
