Bill Dutcher – Modern Acoustic Guitarist

The more I play the more I try to see how ‘scaled down’ I can make my equipment.  I’m waiting for the day when they can put all this great technology into a package the size of a soup can!

I travel with a road case that has all my pedal, cables and such in it and I always travel with a big roll of black ‘stage tape’…Keep in mind it’s not the typical grey-colored duct tape we all see at the local hardware store.  That stuff leaves a nasty residue on anything it touches.  Stage tape is more of a cloth based material and leaves no residue on stages or gear.  Most music stores should be able to get it.

The problem is that I don’t seem to have room to keep the whole roll in my case so……Tear off a few long pieces and stick it on the top back or sides of your guitar case.  You can tear off as much as you need for any ‘in-the-field” repair you come across.  This has saved my rear more than once…as well as a few friends!
