Iron & Wine
Iron & Wine's Gear
Taylor mentions on their official site that Iron & Wine uses this specific guitar.
In this article on Iron & Wine there is a picture of Sam Beam using a Gibson L6S Deluxe during a session at Clava Studios in Chicago.
"It was a Gibson ES-335. It has humbuckers, but it can get a cool, almost Tele-like twang, too. The amp I used was built by Jesse Duke, a friend of mine in Austin, and it’s a big part of the sound. It’s a Fulton Webb 30 Watt, which has a ’60s Marshall channel and a tweed Deluxe channel. I flipped the half-power switch, turned it up loud, and that’s the sound it made."
According to Shure's artist page, Iron and Wine uses Shure's Beta 98A microphone to mic his snare bottom and hi-hat.
According to Shure's artist page, Iron and Wine uses Shure's SM57 microphone to mic his snare top.
In this article with Iron and Wine a 1972 Gibson SG Standard is listed as a guitar used by Iron and Wine.
"No, it’s a friend of mine named Jim Becker playing slide on his Tele. He plays it with a volume pedal, so the volume swells sort of like a steel guitar. Actually, there are two tracks of slide. The other is me playing my ’57 Gibson ES-125 with a single P-90 at the neck. I love that guitar. I also played the chugging, blues-type rhythm on my early ’70s Strat through a tweed Fender Bassman. "
In this photo, which was taken during Iron&Wine's performance at KEXP, the only pedal that can be seen is the Boss TU-2 in the lower left corner.
