Gary Clark Jr – Blak and Blu (Deluxe Edition)

In an interview by Epiphone with Gary Clark Jr., he talks about how the Black and Blu Casino became his main guitar:

"I just recently got two "Blak and Blu" Casinos which I'm so stuck on at the moment. They're all so amazing. 'Blak and Blu' with a Bigsby! They're a dream."

Also interviewed by Premier Guitar, he describes the guitar which has not changed since the Epiphone interview. He describes the combination of hollow-body and P-90 pickups gives it "round, pretty tones" especially with the neck pickup.

"I think I got my dream guitar. It's a '67 Gibson 330. I'm way into that instrument. I got it at Rivington Guitars in New York, just shopping around. It's a fairly new purchase, so I didn't get a chance to use it on the album. I still haven't decided if I'm going to play it live. It might be one of those things I keep to myself."

Gary's gear has also been checked by Rebecca Dirks of Tone Report. Gary uses "D'Addario 10s or 11s, depending upon the guitar, medium Dunlop picks, and Dunlop glass slides" on this guitar for the song "Numb".

Gary's tech, Dave Holman, was interviewed by Premier Guitar. He says that the ES-330 was his main guitar, but has been used with a harmonica. The guitar is described as also having a much softer sound.

In the YouTube video for "Blak and Blu" and "Bright Lights," Gary Clark Jr. is seen playing a Martin 00-18 Acoustic Guitar.
