Terence Reis - Dire Straits / Lead Guitarist & Vocals
The guitars I use at the moment are an amalgamation of a number of different companies that I think are fantastic. The necks I use are from a company called Musikraft which are absolutely out of this world, I cannot say enough about them. My years of working with them have also turned me over to using stainless steel frets as well which is lovely.
The bodies I’m using at the moment are Warmoth chambered bodies. They retain all the tone but have a little more voice I find, In fact the strat body I am using is actually mahogany but because it’s chambered you don’t feel like you have a railway sleeper around you. The scratch plates I am using are made by Tone Guard they use brass and aluminium so you don’t have shielding problems. The tele I’m using is swamp ash and also chambered.
I was also very lucky to have Tom Anderson build some custom wound pickups. I was struggling to saddle those heavy output Schechter ‘tunnel of love’ style 14k pickups. I was wondering what I was going to do however Tom made them up easily as he used to make them back in the day.
I use slightly eccentric switching systems on my guitars as well. I use toggle switches instead of sliding switches so I have an enormous array of colours and tones at my disposal. Because I’m singing and playing at the same time I don’t have the luxury of looking down at the floor and hit loads of pedals so I need that versatility and a lot of this is in my guitars.

Will Ray, The Master Hellecaster - The Hellecasters
When Will was asked about how he felt about making this huge (insert laugh here) endorsement deal, his response was:
“Sure, if you wanna do an
"endorsement" thing, fine with me.
I've always liked your stuff.
Cheers.”
Whether it’s Blues, Country or Rock n’ Roll, Will has it covered.
He kicks butt on the guitar. Check out his music, you won’t
believe your ears. I’m still amazed!
