John Difalco. Lead Guitar

John began playing the guitar at age 11 and bought his first electric axe after a friend turned him on to Rush's 2112. He was hooked. Through high school ( 80 grad Sunset High) , he began to develop his style and formed the band Equinox with current jazz drummer Alan Jones. Through that time, John cites Alex Lifeson, Brian May, and Jimmy Page as some of his early musical influences. John learned a great many of his guitar chops through jam sessions with his high school chum current KISS lead guitarist Tommy Thayer, whom he still remains in contact with. Previous to Beadhead, John played rhythym guitar with The Relics.    John's guitar stable includes a modified Les Paul Special with Seymour Duncan coil splitters, a 1989 Fender Stratocaster, and a Taylor 310ce cutaway acoustic. His amplification is a Marshall MG 250 combo preamped by a Boss GT-8 multiple effects unit
