Jay Bartlett (19 years of age on the day of filming) endorses PRS SC245 guitars and uses them for all recordings and live performances.

"I remember wanting to play guitar since the day I found out what they were. I got my 1st SC245 just as Counterpoint formed and has been my main workhorse ever since. PRS guitars are simply the best on every level. Sweet tone, response, playability and true character. I haven't played any other guitar that resonates & feels like a part me when I play. I look forward to many years with and playing PRS."

Born in Reading, England 1992 Jay became obsessed with music from a very early age.

With early influences such as Alter Bridge, Guns N Roses Led, Zeppelin and many others, Jay took every opportunity to play live. This drive quickly led him to form and front British Rock band Counterpoint, writing & gigging extensively wherever possible and securing support slots with Shinedown and SOiL across their full European tour in 2009 at just 17 years old.

@Counterpointrock (stupid question) with A# being the low e string, right.

[Counterpointrock]

@DReidGuitars someone already asked this question :) .... "this was actually recorded through just a "waves" plug in on pro tools, pretty sure it was CLA guitar, however I use an Engl Powerball set: Gain - 9:00 Bass - 2:00 Middle - 2:30 Treble - 2:30 Pre Vol - 12:00 master vol - 9:30 presence - 10:00 deep punch - 2:30 (Channel 3 & 4, bottom mode on & focused contour on), I'm also using a Mesa Dual rec here n there"

@Counterpointrock i know i becoming a pain in the butt, but what are the exact settings on the amp and what amp are you using. you see I am a tone freak, I search high and low for different tones, help the cause Jay, you'll know you want to. LOL!!!!!!!!!

[Counterpointrock]

@DReidGuitars hey dude to answer everything at once, my guitars are always on full (tone, volume) and almost always on treble pick up. The strings are 11-49 and the tuning is A#, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#. All my SC245's have stock pick ups in them "245 pick-up" that comes with the guitar and made by PRS.
