Alan Jackson

By Tom Rutledge "Strayhorn 7" - "I play acoustic guitar for Alan Jackson and the guitar that Alan was playing is a custom shop Taylor his wife had made for him 2 years ago(2001). It is based on a 610. It has AAA quilted maple back and sides, Sitka top and a custom inlay of Blue Marlin at the 12th fret. Alan is a avid big game fisherman.

"Alan's guitar is 2 years old (Sept 2001), so was built before the ES system. It has a Fishman Matrix bridge pickup with an early Baggs preamp mounted in the guitar. This is what he has used for a decade or more and it is what he is used to... so we stuck with it on this custom shop guitar."

Alan uses a Taylor DN6e, according to Taylor's website.

"I cut Alan's vocal on the BLUE Bottle microphone with the B7 capsule, using the Vintech X81 preamp, along with the GML EQ and compressor." - Allison Krause
