Glenn Mercer

Glenn Mercer is shown to be playing a Telecaster in several recent photos.

"I play Fenders, couple of Teles, couple of Strats, couple of modified Teles with humbuckers and hotrails. All Fenders, even the amps that I like to use are all made by Fender."

The demos that were cut in Mercer’s studio were captured to the artist’s Tascam DP01 8-track machine, mainly through his MXL 909 microphone, which was also used to capture all of Mercer’s vocals, whether they were cut in his studio or Francia’s.

“I made a 4-track cassette tape of a guitar, sustained with an EBow device, through a tremolo pedal, combined with two other guitar parts playing octaves and a Casio keyboard all playing the same thing—in real time for 9 minutes. It would have been faster and easier to make a loop, but I didn’t have a looping device at the time.”
