Fleet Foxes – Helplessness Blues

The U-67 was used on Robin's guitar and vocals during the recording of Helplessness Blues:

"For the acoustic guitar tracks, Pecknold played either his '60s Martin 12?string or his Gibson six?string, miked using various combinations of the Neumann UM56, U67, U48 and Coles 4038."

"By this point, it was time to record Robin Pecknold's final vocals. "Robin sounds good on a Neumann U67,” says Ek. "We tried a bunch of different mics on his voice — different 47s, I even tried an AKG 414, just to see if we could go for different characters. But we always came back to a 67.""

Robin Pecknold frequently used the Shure SM7 microphone during live performances in the "Helplessness Blues" era, as shown in a user-uploaded photo from Spin.

He uses a vintage Sheraton for several songs in this live set: 17:53 - Drops in the River 34:22 - Fool's Errand 37:29 - He Doesn't Know Why 41:27 - On Another Ocean (January / June) 58:53 - If You Need To, Keep Time on Me 1:13:57 - Fool For You It's likely an early 60s model because of the mini-humbuckers and the frequensator tailpiece. He also uses this in the music video for He Doesn't Know Why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brZTvGIzeGg

In a Reddit comment, Robin Pecknold confirms that he used a Gretsch Country Gentleman on the recording of the song "Montezuma" from Fleet Foxes’ album Helplessness Blues.
