Boss manufactures a full range of products for guitarists - pedals, synthesizers, loop stations, tuners, racks and more.
Bedell Guitars
Bedell Guitars crafts hand-made custom guitars for a wide range of artists of different genres. Baxter has said that when he picked up a Bedell Guitar he was amazed at the feel and the tone of the instrument. However, he needed a cutaway guitar and Tom Bedell agreed to make him one. Since that original meeting Bedell has built a number of custom instruments for Baxter.

Baxter has known Mike Gormley for years. Last year at the annual NAMM show in Anaheim, CA, they were walking in opposite directions down and aisle. Skunk said “Do you want to manage me?”. Mike said “Yes” and they both continued walking. This started a great professional relationship that has resulted in the signing with Renew Records and several additional unique opportunities.
