Weller estimates his guitar collection “at around 40 or so” pieces, but on Saturns Pattern he limited himself to only a few models, mostly Hofners and Danelectros, along with a Vox Mark VI teardrop model. “Some people don’t like the way a Vox records in the studio, but it sounds all right to me,” he says. “It has one of those five-way switches, and that gives you a lot of tonal variations.”
