Bonnie Raitt

"Yes, I have an old Gibson ES-175 cutaway. I went to the cutaway because I use a capo on the third and fifth frets, and I can’t get the octave unless I have a cutaway. That’s part of the reason I went to electric, as well. Partly for sustain and partly to be able to get the octave when I have a capo on."

Bonnie Raitt uses a few Fender Strats including this Natural version with a large 1970s-style headstock.

Bonnie Raitt was the first female artist to have a signature Fender Stratocaster, with her model produced between 1995 and 2001. This information is detailed in Guitar Girl Magazine's feature on the making of her album "Slipstream."

"Now I use a compressor when I play slide, and with that you can sustain a note as long as your emotions will hold. It’s like surfing— you can ride that wave of emotional intensity and taper it off and build it up, depending on how you work your volume knob. It’s really an exciting way to express yourself."

Bonnie has said in a interview “ I’ve had the same Guild F-50 big jumbo body for many, many years; I’ve had it since 1975”. She uses it for all of her acoustic songs like love me like a man or angel from Montgomery when she’s on tour or for tv appearances.

On the first page of this Premier Guitar interview, Bonnie Raitt explains: "My brown Strat—the body is a ’65 and the neck is from some time after that. It’s kind of a hybrid that I got for $120 at 3 o’ clock in the morning in 1969."

"Matt Straw here, Robert Plant's guitar tech, I'm currently in rehearsals with Bonnie Raitt setting up her tour rig. I've got her using a Whirlwind Bomb pedal on all her solo boosts and she loves it!"
