Trevor Healy, Healy Guitars: I’ve wanted to make my own Healer for years.
I had the second one that I ever made and designed for a couple of years, but then sold it.
So, this year I made my own instrument. It’s very lightweight. It’s about five and a half pounds, so the interior is all chambered. And then I’ve been working with a guitar pedal manufacturer in Brooklyn, New York. And I saw that he posted about a pedal that he made, which is called the Tremolo Effect. So, I asked him if he wouldn’t mind making that circuit that I could put inside my guitar.
So, I have a guitar with the effect built right in, much like a guitar that might have been built in the 60s.

And right back to normal.
