Brynjar Leifsson's Guitars
In this video we can see Brynjar Leifsson using and abusing a Fender Jaguar. The guitar can first be seen right at the very beginning in the far left side of the screen. Brynjar says about this guitar in this Music Radar article "The Jaguar is what I used to record the whole album. It has a beautiful kind of punchy, clangy sound that I love. It sounds classic, and I guess it is."
Brynjar Leifsson, the lead electric guitarist of the massively popular band Of Monsters and Men has been noted to be a frequent user of a white Duesenberg Starplayer TV, along with the Fender Jaguar.
"I use a Duesenberg Starplayer TV and a Fender Jaguar. They're both great in their own ways. Last January, we were getting ready to go into the studio to record some songs for the worldwide release of the album. Before that, I walked into this guitar shop and saw the Duesenberg. I'd never seen a guitar like it in my life. I bought it without any clue what I was getting, but I was really surprised. It's sturdy, and it sounds good. Already, I can tell it's going to be very reliable."
