Andy Shauf – The Neon Skyline

He bought a 1970s Gibson J-50 dreadnaught specially for recording The Neon Skyline. >quote "Small parlour guitars are nice and punchy in the mid-range, but recording a dreadnought is better; it’s just way more balanced. It took me a long time to realise that the big guitars I didn’t want to play were actually the ones I wanted on my records."

Andy has said he uses his phase 90 on his Jupiter electric guitar for recording, most recently on his album The Neon Skyline.

Andy used this to record The Neon Skyline. He sometimes added tracks on Pro Tools as well.

Andy used Fostex R-8 to record the demos of The Neon Skyline.

Not sure what exact model, but Andy used a friend's Buescher alto sax on Try Again.

In the Trailer video for his album "The Magician" at 00:42, Andy Shauf can be seen using a Höfner-style Violin bass. Quite likely it is the same as the one appearing in the NPR Tiny Desk concert. In the NPR Tiny Desk concert at 08:50, one can see that the neck has binding and the headstock a plastic Höfner logo decal. Therefore it might be even an original 60's Höfner Violin bass. The bass tone in the title song "The Magician" is a classic Höfner Violin bass tone.
