Then I finally found this Gretsch, and it was the best-sounding one I had found. I had the pickups changed. I took it to a guy who seemed kind of intrigued by what I was doing and really helped me out. He designed this nut that has just the four strings in it.

It was a cheap guitar. The guitar itself was not even in mint condition, which it certainly is not anymore — it's certainly not worth much! (laugh) It's probably the least valuable Gretsch that you can find.

I have four or five different tunings that I go to with this. They're all basically open tunings, they're folky kind of open tunings. Because it's a semi hollow-body, it gets this great resonance when I play it, so I can play a lot of feedback. I love it.

In the article it says "Lou brings a trifecta of amps that includes a Peavey Centurion Mark III head into a 1x15 cab,"

"J [Mascis] just got this, which is an old like, 50's, 60's compressor. It's called a Teletronix LA-2A (turns to Dinosaur Jr.) and you guys have been usin' that a bunch, right? Vocals and stuff? Yeah, so that's really an awesome piece of gear."
