Actually I thought Damien's guitar was a Lowden. They are Irish made and very expensive!

You should get your own style, first. Also, in musical writing, damien hammers on and off ALOT...much more than any other artist's music I play.

yeah, tis a Lowden alrighty, and as far as i know only one person makes them, i do know that bob dylan has 12 Lowden's though. Lucky fecker.

I think he uses .10 gauge strings, if that fails try .11's.

I'm really unsure about his amp, perhaps you SHOULD get your own style, don't mean to be offensive
