‘My Martin is the workhorse, though. I have a D-18 and I think my Martin will be the only thing that I’ll tour with for the rest of my life. I love them, they’re really well balanced guitars and they sound how an acoustic guitar should sound, you know? They don’t need a lot of manipulation, when you’re playing live. They just do what they do and do it so well. I use Fishman pickups in most of my acoustics, but I just fitted an EQ system on my pedal board, too. I’ve got the Boss RC-20 lopper down there with it. I think it’s that one, I look at it everyday and still can’t manage to remember the name of it,’ he says laughing. ‘I use Elixir Polyweb 10 gauge for my acoustics, the Guild has Ernie Ball Slinkys on it, though. I’m so bad with names, it’s just like “Yeah, the purple packet, thanks”,’ says Matt Corby in this interview with Acoustic Magazine.

Matt Corby stops by Balcony TV Melbourne's "Music With a View" and plays a live set with his Martin D-28. The guitar can first be seen at :10s in the video.

"Oh, well I have a Strat and a Tele, but I do have this beautiful Gibson Tennessean Chet Atkins which is about 25-years-old and it’s so nice." - Matt Corby from this February 6, 2013 Acoustic magazine article.

In this video you can see Matt using his strat while playing a very stripped version of his popular song brother.

Matt talks about the gear he uses in this Acoustic magazine article saying "I have a Guild 1965 T50 which I picked up for $700 in a second-hand shop! I’ll be taking the Guild on the road with me for the first time at the end of the year. It’s just got its own sound and I’m in love with it."

In this live performance of 'Brother' on Matt Corby's Secret Garden Tour, he can be seen using a Fender Telecaster.

Matt Corby used a Tyler McGrath Guitars (TMG) Dover when playing the Resolution Tour, and in the studio.
