Isaac Brock

In the picture provided, it shows Brock using a Westone Corsair XA1420 live on stage.

The body is solid Mahogany and a bound top with your choice of wood. The neck is a five piece Maple combined with whatever you choose for the top and a "Tree of Life" inlay on the Pau Ferro fretboard. The tremolo is a Wilkinson and I can put pretty much any pickup you'd like but highly recommend Wolftone pickups. A couple things from Isasc's guitar can't copied though... the inlay, because I have a gentleman's agreement with him, and the trem is custom made by Calaham Guitars and is not available.

"Brock reaches compelling levels of intensity, delivering stabbing guitar work with his treble-tastic Fender JagStang and buckshot lyrical delivery" Brock can be seen playing a fender jagstang in a photo on this page

Isaac is pictured using a gibson sg. He often uses the SG live for songs such as "Night on the Sun"

Quote from Image, "This is the first time I ever photographed Modest Mouse live. The band played in Olympia, Washington, opening up for Dub Narcotic and The Make-Up. I always loved the vice grips on Isaac's guitar in this photo."

'I've talked to their amp guy before on myspace. I'll copy/paste some stuff that might be helpful: " input vol is usually around 7-8, treble 7, mid 5.5, bass 4, reverb 3-8, master about 8. you can get in the ball park with just about any tube fender, with the treble up higher than the bass. lately he's used the middle single coil on his guitar a lot live, in the past he used a filtertron in the bridge pickup pretty often, and that can get you there too. he's got a variety of fuzzes and things, but the basic things he's used for years are a blues driver and a digital delay. at the time of the video he was probably using a boss DD-3 or DD-5, a boss BD-2 blues driver, and maybe a boss metal zone. he may have used 2-3 of the digital delays chained together. he has always preferred to put the delays at the front of his signal chain (i.e. guitar-->delay-->distortion) while most people do it the other way. this changes the sound a little, adding distortion on the repeats of the processed delay sounds. those pedals will definitely help get closer to the sound-- the blues driver is on a lot of the time, and it adds a kind of rounded out midrange and treble. set your amp for a good clean sound instead of using the distortion on the amp, and use the blues driver for your distortion-- it's more mild than it seems. setting the amp to sound as distorted as it might sound on the record, but at a bedroom/practice volume won't get the sound, because part of that tone comes from the speakers and tubes in the amp breaking up/distorting a bit when pushed. on the newer stuff, isaac uses a lot of boutique pedals, fuzzes, delays, and so on-- i.e. zvex pedals, SIB mr. echo, boomerang, menatone, etc.-- but the core of the sound is still the amp and a basic overdrive. '

In bits such as 1:31, you can see Isaac wearing a custom Souldier guitar strap.
