Previous projects include the playing of flute, gopichand, sitar, whistles, blues harmonica, tabla, African thumb piano, Latin percussion...

Mostly plays a Tobacco Sunburst Gibson ES-335, although much in love with his Quilted maple, custom-built, Chandler-Schecter Telecaster with its "Super-Rock" humbucking pickups, which is now featuring in his work with The Paul Jeffery Band, oh yes! On July 2nd 2008, took delivery of the fabulous Eastwood Airline Tuxedo guitar which will undoubtedly be featured in future live shows and on various session recordings - see slideshow and blog. To hear just a little of the sound the Tuxedo is capable of, listen to the track "Improv - The Thrill has Gone"
