All Baker Artists found on this page play a Baker because they enjoy playing them and are not bound by contract to Baker Guitars and or paid to play them exclusively. Baker is still a small growing company and listens to the things that artists want in an instrument, taking extra measures to do things many other companies will not do. Our crew is probably similar to many road crews, a bunch of twisted guitar playing, wood /guitar guys . . . experience the quality and pride that goes into every Baker guitar.

Jimmy Herring (Aquarium Rescue Unit/Greg Allman Band currently touring with Phil Lesh and Friends) see www.thephilzone.com or www.philzone.com for tour dates near you. Jimmy and I go way back to GIT days and I was lucky enough to have graduated in the same year as he. He also plays a Strat I built for him out of seconds while at the Fender Custom Shop and detailed it the way he wanted, 2 nickel cover Seymour 59's and an AM Standard neck with 6000 fretwire. This photo was recently taken at the Greek in LA where we set him up with this Korina bodied/Flame Maple Top BJH loaded with DiMarzio custom wound P-90's. If you catch them on tour keep your eyes peeled for them both, rumor has it its sounding phat as heck and he's been playing it the majority of the show since he received it. - Gene Baker
