Grant-Lee Phillips

Grant Lee Phillips famously used a Takamine 12 string acoustic with an extra magnetic pickup in the soundhole with a distortion pedal and electric guitar amp throughout his time in Grant Lee Buffalo

Grant-Lee Phillips is associated with the Schecter GLP-1 Grant Lee Phillips Signature Acoustic Guitar, a model crafted specifically for him by Schecter. Inspired by vintage parlor guitars, the GLP-1 features high-quality pickups, Grover Vintage tuners, nickel hardware, abalone and pearl star inlays, and a rosewood fingerboard with a bone saddle. Phillips has expressed his interest in the parlor-style guitar, noting its smaller body and historical influence. This signature model, released in 2012, originally retailed for just over $1,200, though it can often be found for around $850. More details can be found on Schecter's website.

GRANT-LEE: I had long been a Gibson player. I have a Les Paul Custom from the 1970s. I still play that quite a bit. On record, I always pull that out along with a Gibson ES-175 and a 12-string version. I love those guitar quite a bit. I’ve also been supplied with some pretty great guitars by Schecter. They have one called the Casio... it’s an ES-335 style
