"People ask me all the time, 'why bring all these guitars to a gig?'" Rogers says. "Well, I use a certain guitar for a certain sound on a song. If I don't use that guitar, it wouldn't be the same song. I'd have to play it completely differently."

Instrument Spotlight: 1970 Martin 016 New Yorker
Roy's main guitar is a 1970 Martin 0-16 New Yorker with a DeArmond pickup. "It's a very unique acoustic guitar that people comment on all the time," says Rogers. "It's my favorite ax for improvising with a slide. I also have a unique setup, because I play it through a Boogie Mark II amp-an early '70s model with an Electro-Voice speaker and a Leslie amp."
