AckBlatPow: I read an interview with him in Guitar Player magazine many years ago. I think the guitar is a very old 12-string made in Mexico. I could be wrong.

Sounds like he has a flanger on his guitar signal. His precision playing reminds me of a classical guitar master, very disciplined performance.

This video for me is like God revealing himself to Moses. Visual evidence of a supreme being.

So blown away that footage of him actually exists. What an amazing find! He looks more like a high school science teacher or an accountant than the space alien guitar player I imagine.
