"I discovered good wood in 1993...so should you. Play Vater." - Sean Kinney [Alice In Chains]

"I’ve been using the same Vater 5B’s for years until they came up with the 'Nude' line which strips the varnish off the stick to give it more of a grip. This really helps when it’s hot and my hands are sweating. Keeps the stick in the hand...Great!” - Matt Abts [Gov't Mule].
