Connor Flys

Connor Flys is a guitarist and bassist for everything from modern country to extreme metal, and the self-styled "supermarket own-brand Steve Lukather" in an acclaimed UK-based Toto tribute band. He is also an utter gear obsessive - with an ever-growing collection of guitars and pedals, and a faintly unsettling knowledge of Ibanez model codes.
