In this article Rob Laakso, Kurt Vile's bandmate and engineer on the album B'lieve I'm Goin Down..., tells about some equipment used in the making of the record:
He takes the recording of Vile’s resonator on “All in a Daze Work” as an example. “We used a Neumann U 67 on it, and there was another condenser on his vocal—maybe a [Neumann] 47 or a 48. I was just going through the instrumentals for the record, and it’s kind of funny. There’s a lot of bleed in my so-called microphone mix on that song, but those two mics give it that sound.

In this video Kurt Vile is playing on a DiPinto Belvedere Deluxe guitar.
It’s a 1961 Guild Starfire Hollow Body guitar. It’s awesome. Ray Davies played one of them. I got it off one of the main drags in New York. I play a lot of acoustic songs, but also a lot of ones on electric. I always felt like I was stuck playing either acoustic or electric live, and it didn’t sound quite right. I could probably play my whole set with this new guitar, though. I bought it literally yesterday.
In a Premier Guitar interview, this guitar was said to be used "for playing around the house".
