Mentioned in the November 2022 edition of Guitar World. Used on the album "Crooked Tree", done in collaboration with The Golden Highway.

Speaking of guitars, on Crooked Tree, Tuttle used a Brazilian rosewood Martin D-28 that she picked up in 2019. “They’re built to replicate guitars from the Thirties,” she says. “To me, it’s as close as a new guitar comes to sounding like an old guitar, and the Brazilian rosewood makes it ring in a really nice way. It almost has a piano-like tone.”

Molly has always used Shubb capos, on the Shubb website she is mentioned and has a statement about them. This picture is from Molly’s Facebook page. From the shubb website:

“Ever since I started playing guitar I have used Shubb capos. I’ve tried many other kinds of capos but always come back to Shubb because they’re designed so well, they’re really easy to use, and I don’t have to worry about my guitar going out of tune when I put one on. I would highly recommend the Shubb Fine Tune capo, not only because it’s easily adjustable and keeps the guitar sounding great and in tune, but also, if you’re like me, a capo that stays on the guitar is a huge plus because you won’t lose it! I’m proud to endorse Shubb capos and look forward to using them for years and years.” – Molly Tuttle
