Barns Courtney

In this article, Barnes Courtney talks at length about his Martin 000-15M.

It's a really nice guitar. I've been kind of going back and forth between that one and a Gibson Hummingbird, but I think, you know, sometimes Gibsons can slip out of tune quite quickly. And although I love the deep, rich tone of the Hummingbird, I do like how reliable that Martin is — I mean, you've seen how beaten up it is, right? It's just ab-so-lutely f*****d! (laugh)

And it still holds its tune. I'll put that thing on a plane and have to get it put in the hold and forget to loosen the strings, and it'll come out the other side still in tune. It's just really, really good.

Barnes Courtney can be seen playing a Gibson Hummingbird acoustic guitar through the video for Fire.

In this article Barnes Courtney is asked about what effects he uses. He says:

On the record, it's just a lot of clean acoustic with the bass whacked up, but if I'm playing live — especially if it's solo, no drums or bass or anything — I just send it through a Fender amp with a blues driver on it just to give it some gravitas. Because I want the gigs eventually to be quite sweaty affairs, so it just puts across that vibe. It gives it some teeth.

It's a little bit counterintuitive to run an acoustic guitar through a distorted amp, but I just think for what I'm trying to get across — which is kind of a raw, sweaty, determined kind of energy — it does the job.
