Adrianne Lenker

After a few years, though, Lenker bought a custom-made electric guitar, crafted by a division leader and friend at Collings Guitars. As soon as it arrived, she wrote "Paul" and "Vegas," two centerpieces of Masterpiece. "I was a little daunted. I'd played one acoustic my whole life, and there are so many elements to an electric. So many things go into making a tone," she says. "But he had this beautiful piece of wood that had been sitting in the shop for a couple of years that he had been saving for a special purpose, and a lot of care went into the guitar. He shipped it to New York around Christmas two years ago, and I started writing these songs right then.

Adrianne is seen using a Martin D12 in multiple performances, including this performance of Cradle.

In this interview with She Shreds, Adrianne Lenker says:

I played my dad’s giant Yamaha acoustic, but then he got me my first guitar, which was a Baby Taylor.

In this She Shreds article: https://sheshreds.com/adrianne-lenker/, Adrianne mentions that she plays a Collings SoCo model with P90 pickups, but in the images included with the interview she is seen with a Collings I35 Deluxe in some form of Sunburst with humbucker pickups.

At Big Thief's show in Buffalo, NY, on September 27th, 2021, Adrianne can be seen playing a red Fender Stratocaster. It has the big 70's headstock, however it does not have a bullet truss rod, so it could be a custom shop guitar.
