Ben McLeod's Guitars
"I used my Gibson Les Paul Traditional on just about every track. It isn’t an old guitar or anything fancy. I bought it off the wall at a Guitar Center in 2010, but I absolutely love it. It has a really beefy neck and I put a bone nut and a new set of saddles on it, so it stays in tune really well, and that’s the one for me."
In a live performance video from May 5, 2017, Ben McLeod of All Them Witches plays a Knaggs Sheyenne guitar, which he describes as "the best sounding and feeling guitar" he has ever played, adding that it "looks so badass too."
"The second guitar McLeod will carry onstage is his 1979 Gretsch “Beast” BST-1000. He bought it at a guitar store in his hometown of St. Augustine, Florida at Grandpa’s Music for $350. He prefers to bring this out on songs like “Call Me a Star” or “Talisman” where it gets tuned to D-A-C-G-A-E and he’ll mix between finger picking and using a slide. This guitar has had the exact same set of DR Pure Blues strings since the beginning of the U.S. tour in October 2015. Alterations to the Beast include a bone nut, a new bridge, the neck has been repaired several times from breaks or splits, and he’s even used Gorilla Glue on one of the tuners".

Hollowbody Electric Guitars"Our engineer, Mikey Allred, brought in a Gretsch Tennessee Rose hollowbody for the sessions, and that thing was amazing. I used that on “This Is Where It Falls Apart” and “Blood and Sand / Milk and Endless Waters,” and that thing was so beautiful!"

During the "Fishbelly 86 Onions" (8:45-18:25) Ben can be seen playing Knaggs Severn guitar.
At 9:03, during a jam on "See You Next Fall", you get a great shot of Ben playing his V, the distinctive Banker logo very clear on the headstock. As they are a custom order company, every guitar made is fairly unique, but the important features of his V are the brown/walnut finish, aged gold hardware, and the PAF pickups. This video is linked on the Banker Guitars page for their V model, and his name is listed under the artists page.

I just I love this guitar so much. It feels great. I tracked almost the entire new album with it and it's it just feels like it it feels like home.
