Lucy Dacus' Gear
When she first began playing live, Dacus picked up an Epiphone Sheraton II and an Orange combo to plug any gaps left by her solo setup. “It had this really boomy low end, which doesn’t really make for the best clarity, but it does fill in where a bass would be,” she says. “I have a low voice, so having the guitar be low bumps my voice into sounding clearer and brighter by comparison.”
Lucy Dacus can be seen playing a Fender Telecaster Deluxe with a maple fretboard in this photo.
But now I’m playing an American Pro Telecaster and I love it because it’s just a straight-up guitar – just a hunk of wood with strings that sounds good and is really malleable.”
Throughout, Dacus played a Gretsch White Falcon, wringing every ounce of chime from it to deliver songs built around bold, ringing chords. The LP’s palette was filled out with Telecasters and Strats, while on the road she has also made the switch to the former in pursuit of headache-free versatility.
Throughout this full set, Dacus is seen playing rhythm guitar with the Epiphone Riviera.
In this "Take Away Show" from La Blogothèque, Lucy is playing this Epiphone 00 sized acoustic guitar.
Lucy posted a picture of herself holding this Cobra Blue Ultra Telecaster to Instagram on June 26, 2021 with the caption: "thank you @fender for the perfect guitar 💙 can’t wait for tour".
The guitar was presumably provided by Fender for live use on the Home Video tour. The Guitar Magazine's June 2021 Lucy Dacus interview makes no mention of this guitar being used in the recording of the album.
The source photo is from a July 31, 2021 live show at Forest Hills Stadium and shows the Ultra lettering on the neck plate as well as the contoured heel and cutaway typical of the Ultra line. Also visible is the 75th Anniversary logo on the back of the headstock, making this a 2021 model.
Lucy mentions her entire pedalboard setup during the Home Video wiritng and touring process in this interview. Quoted saying-
“I’ve got a KTR Klon, which is on almost all the time, an Xotic SP compressor, the Keeley Caverns, the Iron Horse for big distortion, the Longsword, and the Walrus Julia chorus… I have the most pedals I’ve ever had. On No Burden, I just had a tuner.”
