His style of playing and writing relies more on grooves and hooks rather than shredding and fast soloing. Maxwell hails from Baltimore, Maryland,[1] and got his first guitar, a 1969 Gibson Les Paul, when he was eight years old. According to Maxwell, he still owns it. He is currently endorsing on Dean Guitars website[2]

In 2010 Dean revealed the first "MaxHell" Soltero, a custom design personally for Tom.

When not touring, he resides in Maryland with his wife and son.
