One of Urban’s favorite acquisitions is the iconic black-and-white, leather-wrapped Fender that outlaw legend Waylon Jennings made famous. Added to his arsenal in late 2009, the 1950 Broadcaster is particularly special not simply because of its historical significance. There’s a very personal tie-in to Urban’s life and career.
“I grew up listening to Waylon and, ultimately, I probably have a career today because he had the courage to come to a town like Nashville and do it his way,” Urban says. “He wanted to use his own band, he wanted to choose the studio, he wanted to choose the songs, choose the producer—and that was not the way things were done. So many of us have that freedom today in Nashville, and we really have Waylon to thank for that. So that guitar represents so much to me about just following your path. Even if you come up against the system, you can stay true to yourself. When I plugged it in and played it, it was just amazing. It’s so full of mojo.”
Keith Urban uses a purple 100-watt 1969 Marshall Super Bass head on the road, as reported by Thomas Scott McKenzie in Premier Guitar. Urban prefers amplifiers with extensive headroom that maintain warmth, and his setup includes routing the amps through two vintage Marshall 4x12 speaker cabinets with Electro-Voice speakers and two Alessandro open-backed 2x12s, allowing each head to drive six speakers, "as loud as I can get them without them breaking up."
