Bryce Dessner

From a 2013 "The Current" interview:

"What kind of guitar is it?

It's a 1965 non-reversed Gibson Firebird.

Where did you get it?

That's an interesting story. Ben Lanz, who plays trombone, he and I found it on eBay, covered in stickers and bad neon paint, and it was stripped of its electronics. A Gibson Firebird is a very sought-after vintage instrument. They're difficult to find for less than $6,000 or $7,000. This one, just the wood alone was worth a lot of money. Whoever had it didn't realize it was worth something, so they were selling it for $300. So we bought it because we could tell, based on the neck and a brass electronics plate in there, that it was vintage.

And then I stripped the paint off and found the serial number and it's a 1965, so that was a good return on my investment. It's worth at least 10 times what I paid for it.

We rebuilt it ourselves and put Lollar pickups — they're hand-wound pickups from California — in it. So it's now my main instrument. It's really fun."

Like Aaron's 335, probably belongs to the show

Up untill about late 2000s, Silvertone Chris Isaak model used to be his main guitar, and he ocasionally uses it these days

It's Johnny Marr Signature Jaguar in KO orange, most likely belongs to the venue

Bryce uses it during Lean

With the National, he uses a ’71 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe (“The mini humbuckers on that guitar provide the perfect tone for switching between fingerstyle and lead playing”), a Fender Twin Reverb, a Pro Co Rat, a Klon Centaur, a DigiTech Whammy, a Boss DD-5 Digital Delay, a Boss FV-50H Volume Pedal, and a Line 6 DL4 Delay Modeler.
