Dallas Green

At 0:44 in this video, Dallas tells a touching story of how he got this beautiful guitar. "

“My friend Dan Aiken who owned the studio and recorded the record - he was a vintage guitar guy he owned a bunch of old crazy guitars in the studio - and he found me this one from British Columbia from this guy who was selling it…a few years later Dan passed away and this guitar took on a whole new life.”

As you will hear in the interview from the proof video, Dallas had gotten this guitar from his friend and producer Dan when he recorded his second album "Bring Me Your Love" back in 2007. After his friend passed away, the guitar "sort of took on a whole new life". "It was already something sentimental for me because it was something I shared with him [...], but then him passing away sort of [...] reminds me of him and [...] the moments I had with him in the studio. So this is my favourite guitar". It is an all mahogany vintage guitar from 1944 that is not being manufactured anymore, but is closely related to the new Martin 00-15M.

The proof source is a concert video when Dallas Green (as City and Colour) played at Tonhalle, Munich in 2014. A person can find Dallas Green playing a Fender Jazzmaster multiple times.

Used during Dallas' performances with Alexisonfire, and sometimes with City and Colour. Dallas has added a Bigsby tremmolo to this model.

In this video Dallas Green plays as City and Colour, preforming Weightless on a custom Gibson ES-335.

Dallas has been playing this guitar with Alexisonfire. When he was on tour with Alice In Chains, it was gifted to him by Jerry Cantrell himself! Mentioned as a part of the rig in November 2022 Guitar World interview.

Dallas Green uses this guitar when he played in the Bravo! Live Concert Hall in 2008. Dallas Green uses often for his solo project City and Colour.

Dallas used this guitar on his 2015 US/Canada Tour

According to Premier Guitar

Last year Eastwood teamed up with signer/songwriter and vintage guitar enthusiast Dallas Green from City and Colour to fine-tune the Jupiter for modern playability. The main structural changes included replacing the wooden bridge with a modern tun-o-matic bridge and upgrading the bolt-on neck to a set neck. The new Airline Jupiter PRO is a hollow-body guitar with mahogany top, back and sides with a one-piece maple set-neck. It features two Airline Argyle Pickups, a 3-way vintage flipper switch and 5 controls mounted on a flowing pickguard. The controls are dual tone and volume plus a unique Blender control to pan between the pickups for a wider tonal palette. The Dallas Green Signature model comes in a beautiful honeyburst finish, tortoiseshell pickguard, upgraded trapeze tail and is embellished with body, neck and headstock binding. The guitar is topped off with his logo signature on the headstock.

“I’m pretty excited to have my own signature Airline Jupiter Pro,” says Dallas Green. “Being part of the creative process in building it was a whole new experience. Can’t wait for people to play them!”

Dallas can be seen playing his Signature Jupiter during Thirst; he mostly used it during The Hurry and The Harm album cycle. He's also using his Signature Jupiter in this promotional photo.

In a video by Alternative Press, Dallas Green is seen warming up with a National Style 0 Resonator before Alexisonfire's set at the Warped Tour 2009.

Dallas begins using this guitar at 14:57 into this video and continues using it for the remainder of the set. He has always been a vintage guitar fan, I'm not sure of the year of this guitar but I know he has a 70s ES 335, a 62 and 66 Jazzmaster, and a 40s Martin. This seems to be a new addition to his vintage collection for 2019 and sounds amazing with whatever pedal board / amp rig he's using now. This show was live at CBC Studio 211 performed late 2019, video was released November 20th.

‘The closest guitar to me is my new Martin. Martin Guitars, who I am endorsed by and play religiously, built me a custom shop acoustic. Myself and Fred at the custom shop collaborated on some ideas. To me it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s sort of a mixture of the two guitars that I play. I have the 1944 00-17, which is sort of a smaller body, which I use for fingerpicking and solo stuff, the other guitar is a 67 D-28, which I kind of play more with the band. I kind of wanted to do a mixture of those two guitars in a way. It’s a smaller-body dreadnought, so it’s not as big as a D-28 or D-18. It’s a 12-fret model, so the neck’s smaller on it, and it’s got a slotted headstock, which I really like – kind of like an old, classic style – but it has like a honeyburst, kind of finish to it, and it has a beautiful floral inlay up on the headstock. It’s really, really amazing and Fred’s done an amazing job on it. It’s got Brazilian rosewood on the sides and back, and I’m pretty sure it’s a spruce top. I’m not really sure on the rest of the woods. I’m not that well-learned on the arts of the woods. All I know is that it looks great and it sounds great. And that’s the best part.’ -Dallas Green; Source: 'Green's Peace' by Guy Little, http://www.acousticmagazine.com/interviews/greens-peace/

The Martin HD-28V Custom Shop is used as his main acoustic, the model has a slotted headstock, a shorter scale neck, sunburst.

Dallas can be seen playing this Martin 00 12 fret in various videos for intimate solo acoustic performances.

The Tele is part of Dallas' Alexisonfire rig.

Dallas Green: “I found that it works perfectly for two songs in the set, Wasted Love and Killing Time. With the sound of these gold foil pickups, it just makes perfect sense for them. This also gets capo’d, on two or three, and then it’s also used in standard tuning.”

In the video of Dallas performing at the Juno awards, he is playing a Gibson ES-125

There is a good shot of him using it to record a song on the Little Hell album at 13:28 in this video.

"I have the 1944 00-17, which is sort of a smaller body, which I use for fingerpicking and solo stuff, the other guitar is a 67 D-28, which I kind of play more with the band."

Dallas Green is seen using a Fender Jaguar in a Twitter post from City and Colour, referencing the recording sessions for their sixth album.

The SG gets used mostly during live performances of Wasted Love.

Dallas Green has been seen using a Gibson Les Paul Custom Electric Guitar during performances, as noted in Acentric Magazine’s coverage of City and Colour’s show at College St Music Hall on June 9, 2017. Although this guitar is primarily used by Dante Schwebel, Dallas occasionally borrows it, aligning with his preference for vintage gear, as evidenced by the guitar's noticeable yellowing.

Dallas received this guitar from Schecter (I believe on their tour of ‘Watch Out’. He uses it in the video for ‘No Transitory’ and for a lot of live shows around the time of the release of ‘Watch Out’

A folk-sized Gibson acoustic used mostly for the earliest City and Colour solo-acoustic peformances.

This smaller scale guitar is a fantastic example of an instrument made for swift balanced flat picking and fast clear chording, perfectly suited to Dallas' unique playing style.

Dallas pictured with his white center-block Falcon.

This Epiphone semi-hollow body was used in the Waiting video, and during the Bring Me Your Love tour.

Another ES-355, this time a modern Gibson Memphis gold 355 Dallas purchased just before his 2016 Lollapalooa set.

Used throughout various full-band and solo-acoustic sets.

In the official Paste Magazine concert video from the Newport Folk Festival on July 28, 2012, Dallas Green frequently plays the Gibson Blue Ridge guitar during the Little Hell album cycle.
