Keith Urban

Keith used Martin OMJM in NYC's Penn Station.

"The guitar on that solo was a Grover Jackson GJ2. I went through the AMT wah into The Schaffer Replica booster—which I’ve become a mad fan of. The AC/DC freaks discovered the missing link in Angus’ tone was the Schaffer Vega Wireless unit he recorded with back in the day."

"That whole run of ’58 and ’59 Twins is unbelievable. Pedal-wise, the Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive and the Schaffer Replica are on a bunch of stuff."

“The guitar has completely exceeded every expectation. You couldn’t make it better, you just couldn’t,” - Keith Urban

"It’s a long story, but the short version is my wife bought it at an auction, the same auction I was trying to register to bid on this guitar. Unbeknownst to me, she had already registered to bid on it for me as a gift. I was watching the bidding, and said, ‘Well it’s gone, it’s gone under some collector’s bed for the rest of time.’ And my wife comes in and goes, ‘I just bought you Waylon’s guitar.’ It was a Christmas gift. I literally fell on my knees and cried like a little baby. It was the most unbelievable thing that every happened to me. I’ve had it for quite a few years. We got it from Reggie Young, who was touring with The Highwaymen, and by all accounts, Waylon came in one day and gave it to him. It’s a very heavy guitar. It’s a 1950 Fender Broadcaster. He said, ‘Hoss I want you to have this guitar. It’s too heavy.’ So Reggie had it for 25 years and decided it was time to sell it. He didn’t know I bought it. He was the first guy I called and introduced myself to him. I said ‘I own this guitar. Anytime you want it, come over and get it.’ He’s borrowed it for Waylon Jennings days, festivals he plays, that sort of things."

"Other Gibsons that Urban has played, or is currently playing, include a 1961 SG Junior in near-pristine condition that he picked up about a year ago, an ES-345 from the 1970s, a ’63 Melody Maker, a 1952 Gibson J-55 and a 1952 Les Paul Standard."

He uses Dimarzio Area 67 in the middle position of his ‘64 Stratocaster.

"It’s primarily this killer reverb pedal by Mr. Black called the Super Moon. I played my 1951 Nocaster through my Fender tweed Twin and some kind of boost. If I were listening to that song, I wouldn’t expect a distorted guitar solo. I’m just trying to mix in ingredients that seem a little unusual."

"Other Gibsons that Urban has played, or is currently playing, include a 1961 SG Junior in near-pristine condition that he picked up about a year ago, an ES-345 from the 1970s, a ’63 Melody Maker, a 1952 Gibson J-55 and a 1952 Les Paul Standard."

Went to see Keith Urban recently and he had a few WEM Cabs on stage.

I think David Gilmour used these with his Hiwatt heads but that is all I know.

"It was an AMT Electronics Japanese Girl Wah. It’s a tiny little purple pedal that’s hard to use live, because it’s a fifth of the size of a normal wah, and your foot devours it. I use it in the studio because I love its sweep."

According to the artists section on Pigtronix's website, Keith Urban uses their Echolution Delay.

The beautiful guitar is also a current mainstay of Urban’s live shows. "This guy has only recently made it back into the rotation," [guitar tech Chris] Miller told Premier Guitar earlier this year. 'It’s one of the crew’s favorites. Everybody loves it. Lately Keith has been using this one for "Kiss a Girl."

The guitar is a 1958 model.
