Darius Rucker's Gear
In this interview with Gibson, Darius Rucker says he plays a Hummingbird.
“For years I wanted to play Gibson,” he says. “So I got one, we got a deal with them, and I just love mine. I just know what I hear, right, and when I plugged my Hummingbird in I’d never heard any guitar sound like that. Whether it’s just straight to my ears or through a PA, it’s just what an acoustic guitar is supposed to sound like to me. Not too tinny – the very opposite, it’s just full and beautiful sounding and they’re really great for live. They sound amazing every night.”
In this article, Darius discusses his guitar collection and notes he like 00-18 Martins.
“I’ve got a lot of guitars,” he admits. “My Gibsons are really special to me and I have a National too. I collect 0018 Martins because of an old Nanci Griffith song called Listen to the Radio, so I have like five or six of those. Pre-54 is the oldest one."
In this interview with Music Radar, Darius Rucker talks about his guitar collection.
Rucker has been long acquainted with his 1942 Gibson J-45, along with a number of other Gibsons his guitar collection boasts, using it for all of his live performances and song-writing. He talks me through some of the other guitars in his collection.
