Hello!

You can tell me The Rig of Tolkki (Guitars,Pickups,Effects,Preamps,PowerAmps etc.)?

Thx

Tolkki plays ESP Guitars. He's currently playing an ENGL head with a Marshall Cab. As for effects, he uses the T.C. Electronics G-Force. Not sure about pickups. This is his current set up. There's also other threads on the forum where Tolkki answered questions about his gear himself.

Has Tolkki always used ESP guitars? I could have sworn he used a different company before ESP? (I'm really behind with this kind of stuff... )

Can you give me some links to check?

i have seen him playing whit stratocaster...in the early days, also i that "infamous" gig when jens pissed him, he was wearing a stratocaster...but since i cant remember ESP is the weapon of choice.

He could have been using other brands prior to 'Dreamspace' (the first album where ESP is mentioned in the booklet), for instance Kramer (mentioned in the booklet of 'Twilight Time'). If I remember right, Tolkki told in an old interview that he used a cheap, low- quality guitar during the recordings of 'Fright Night'.
